during the years of their marriage, she had still managed to go to cooking school. She had become an expert on horses, too.
The ending of the war should have made things better for him, but it didn’t. The only thing he knew was that he now controlled every right to the screen character with which he had been identified, even if he was off the screen now, with those unrel eased pictures in the can.
The test Came when David O. Selznick offered him a role in “Duel in the Sim,” the part of a man in a red-light district who gets killed under highly disgraceful circumstances. He turned it down on the day he knew he could no longer pay the rent on the Sunset Towers apartment.
“Suppose I got a chance to come back in my regular pictures,” he explained to his wife. “The kids could never believe in me, the nice people I want for my fans, those mothers of today’s youngsters, whom I first reached. Well, honey, could they believe in me if they’d seen me in a part like the Selznick one?”
“No, darling. I saw a little house today, up in the hills. It’s not bad, for sixty-five dollars a month. And I found a wonderful dealer who’ll give us cash for the car.”
“Now wait a minute. How can we get along up in the hills without a car?”
“Why not? We’re not going anywhere and we’ve got each other. That’s all that counts, darling.”
It was almost 1947 before the tide turned, a funny, black-and-white tide called Television. And in hundreds of thousands of homes, the children first, and then the families, began demanding Hopalong Cassidy, and more Hopalong Cassidy.
And so Bill Boyd came back, Bill and his lovely Gracie, who was Gracie Bradley, before she gave up her career. Bill became Hopalong to a whole world and Gracie, traveling wherever he traveled, standing in crowds, waiting in hotel rooms, sleeping on planes or trains, became Tripalong. And the money came back to them, too, at least a bit of it, because it can never be what it was, with the tax situation. But Gracie and Bill haven’t moved from the little house in the hills, even though they’ve got a car now.
“How could we leave that house?” Bill asks. “That’s where I found out how great the love of two people can be, how blessed any man is who finds his perfect wife.” All of which is perfectly true, just as every word of this story is true, please remember, whenever any person tries to tell you that there never has been a perfect marriage in Hollywood.
