He met another girl at the Academy, a girl who moved him as he had never allowed himself to be moved before. Her name was Diana Dill, the daughter of a British government official in Bermuda. “Diana had something I admired and envied,” he says, “I guess you would call it breeding.” Diana’s background and comparative affluence had not made her a snob. “Diana is the most liberal-minded person I’ve ever known,” Kirk says of her now. “I was always for the underdog, of course. I am the underdog, or rather, I keep forgetting, I used to be. Diana reached the same point of view intellectually.” They saw one another in class, and they were aware of one another in SchrafTts’ where Diana was a patron and Kirk, still earning “eating money,” was a waiter. But their relationship did not proceed beyond the “I’ll treat you to a soda if you have a quarter” stage because Warner Brothers offered Diana a contract, and she abandoned New York for Hollywood. KIRK completed his training at the Academy in 1938, the year of the recession, and for awhile it looked as though his dream of becoming a Professional Actor would have to be modified to read Professional Bellhop.

But the next year, Kirk caught up with The Dream. He landed the juvenile lead in the comedy smash hit, “Kiss and Tell,” replacing Richard Widmark. The skinny kid of Amsterdam had conquered Broadway. He could set his sights on the last goal his ambition required of him: Stardom. But the war came, and he enlisted in the Navy. In a barracks at Notre Dame in 1942, where he was with an anti-submarine unit, a sailor hurled a copy of “Life” in the air with an awed “ What a dish!” Kirk looked at the girl on the cover. It was Diana Dill, now a New York photographers’ model. “I know her,” said Kirk, suddenly home Janis Carter of “Carriage Entrance” receives an autographed copy of book about his life from hotel magnate, Conrad Hilton, soon to be Liz Taylor’s father-in-law RELIEVES PAIN OF HEADACHE • NEURALGIA NEURITIS r The way thousands of physicians and dentists recommend Anacin® relieves headache, neuralgia, neuritis pain fast because Anacin is like a doctor’s prescription — that is, it contains not just one, but a combination of medically proven, active ingredients in easyto-take tablet form.
