( Continued from page 8) screen more often. Also, I would like to know how to write to him.
Mrs. Robert Campanini Brockton, Mass.
( That was Kevin McCarthy, who was born in Seattle, Wash., Feb. 15, 1915. He is 6', has blue eyes, brown hair, is married to TV actress Augusta Dabney, has two children. This ivas his first screen role and he has no future film plans; will probably do another Broadway play. Write him c/o Actors Equity, 45 If7. 47 St., New York, N. Y.)
Today I went to see “Bend of tile River” starring James Stewart. Could you please give me the name and something about the girl who played Funnyface? She is precious.
Linda Carolyn Smith Norfolk, Va.
( That was Lori Nelson, ivho zvas born Dixie Kay Nelson in Santa Fe,
N. Mex., Aug. 15,
1933. She is 5'3y2",
108 lbs., has blue eyes, blonde hair.
She started as a phot o g r a pher’ s model at age six and did a lot of little theatre zvork before getting 'into movies. Now under contract to U-I, she is also in the “Ma and Pa Kettle” pictures.)
I would like to know if June Allyson really played the piano in “Too Young to Kiss.” In Photoplay it said that she didn’t but in another magazine it said she did.
Janet Reese Portland, Ore. ( M-G-M’s Press Department nozv say June did play the piano. However, our spies assure us that this is not so.)
Casting:
Why doesn’t M-G-M give Howard Keel roles in movies like “Across the Wide Missouri” and “Westward the Women”? He is a better actor than Gable or Taylor, is just as handsome and he can sing ! He could put a little music in those dull, uninteresting Westerns.
Jim Sooter Modesto, Calif.
I am so happy that "Showboat” won the Photoplay Gold Medal. I think Ava Gardner is going to be one of the greatest dramatic actresses to come ! I wish Metro would make the life of Helen Morgan. Ava would be sensational for the role.
Grace Cervenka Queens Village, N. Y.
( Warners is planning to do the life of Helen Morgan. Ava would love to play that part, but Warner star Doris Day may get it.)
In the not-too-distant future a portion of the life of Elizabeth II will be filmed and I’m unable to think of anyone more suited to play the new' Queen of England than Olivia de Havilland. There is a striking resemblance. Olivia has the same serious face, strong determination and pure womanly qualities.
Ernest Wise Wausaukee, Wise.
