Photoplay (Jul-Dec 1944)

sitive points. She shudders whenever a magazine or newspaper unearths an early picture showing her as an Amazon of one hundred and sixty-odd pounds. And she bridles at the prevalent notion that she performs the duties of unofficial coach, agent and nurse for husband Phillip Terry. With those who so much as hint that she wears the pants in the CrawfordTerry menage she gets furious. But — let us whisper it — she does! It’s the same notion, in reverse, that drives Humphrey Bogart mad. If Bogie were as free with guns off the screen as he is on we would be a clay pigeon to mention the general belief that he, the screen’s tough guy, is afraid of his wife, Mayo Methot. But boy, oh boy, there never was a husband more anxious to placate a wife than Humphrey. He positively will not go anywhere without Mayo. His men friends are told not to bring their girls to the Bogart house — it might make Mrs. B. jealous. There are many stories told about the “Battling Bogarts” but they omit to mention that Bogey is genuinely fond of his Mayo. How do we know? Why, he told us himself! Further, he says he hates all women. “Except,” he is swift to add, “my wife!” Franchot Tone is sensitive about his family and his upbringing. Not because he comes from the wrong side of the railroad tracks. On the contrary, he has the best of social backgrounds, being a son of the wealthy and socially prominent Carborundum family of New York. We’ve seen Franchot walk away from social gushers who intimated he was born “above” most of his colleagues in the movie industry. Orson Welles still gets angry if you mention an interview he gave in which he called Katharine Hepburn “an enthusiastic, but amateurish actress.” Katie didn’t like this statement. And she told Orson so, in language quite as eloquent and forceful as his own. Gary Cooper does not often get angry. But when he does! A sure-fire way to raise Gary’s dander is to remind him that the Countess di Frasso, who once laid siege to his heart, is supposed to have advised him on the proper dress and behavior for what was known in those days as “polite society.” Most of us don’t care what Gary wears. He always looks good to us. And now, what is it you would prefer your friends not to mention? For undoubtedly, there is something. But you’re luckier than the Hollywood stars. The chances are nine out of ten that you can keep your skeleton in the cupboard where it belongs. But the chances are ten out of nine that a star can’t — not in the glass showcase called Hollywood.
