Photoplay (Jul-Dec 1957)

remember him ever being unkind. And he took care of me. He let me go everywhere with him. What a wonderful brother! “After college father still didn’t want me to go to New York. I said, ‘I’m going!’ and got a job as a secretary. If there’s a prize for the world’s worst, I claim it. I lost checks, money, misfiled the complete recorded history of one company and was an utter clerical failure. But I wanted to earn enough to get to New York. “Then, all of a sudden, Daddy was transferred to New York City! He had been an English teacher. Now he’s a vice-president at Charles Scribner’s publishing house in charge of textbooks. “In New York I went to drama school for two years and learned a lot. At the end of that time, I told Dad I wanted to go out on my own. He objected. I said I was going anyway. He said that, financially, I could only expect the usual allowance, sixty dollars a month. I got a cold-water flat for twenty dollars a month and lived on the rest. You can do it. For breakfast a nickel hot dog, a nickel cup of coffee. Lunch the same. Dinner, my roommate and I hoped for dates who could feed us. “One day I heard that ‘Robert Montgomery Presents’ wanted a girl to play the young lead in ‘Penny.’ I auditioned with a hundred others. “That script! We read and read and read and read! Finally, the choice came down to a girl named Chris White and me. When it was my turn I was tired and angry at having been kept all day. But I still wanted the part. So I threw away the script, kicked off my shoes, (I’d heard that Barbara Bel Geddes did that very successfully at auditions) and did a whole scene from memory. I got the part. From then on I’ve worked steadily on TV and in the movies.” To prove just how steadily: 20th showcases Joanne in “Down Payment” at about the same time as her Eve role. What about Joanne’s reported intentions of marrying actor Paul Newman once he’s divorced? Joanne shook her head. “I don’t understand why people think Paul and I are anything more than buddies. I go out with other men. Nobody mentions them as possible husbands. I certainly won’t. I have no intentions of marrying yet, anyhow. Seriously, I like my life now. “A few days ago, on the set, I took out a cigarette. There were fifteen grips and members of the crew ready to light it for me. A few months ago I lit my own. Frankly, I like the change. I like the attention. I like the excitement. I get a lot more respect in Hollywood than I did on Broadway, but the stage is where I really want to be successful. “And I don’t think I’m ready for marriage. In the first place, I can’t take criticism as well as I should. It used to throw me into a panic. It doesn’t any more, but it still makes me unhappy. That attitude wouldn’t be good in a marriage.” She threw her hands back and let them hang limp behind the sofa. “Oh, why does a girl have to marry? I know I’m going to marry someday, but right now there are five men I like. If I marry one, I’ll be so unhappy without the other four!” Hollywood may fascinate Joanne. But right now this girl, though she doesn’t know it, is fascinating Hollywood. We had been talking for nearly three hours. The sun was already down and a slight wind had come up. It would be dark soon. “Night’s coming,” Joanne said. “That’s a nice time for me. There’s something peaceful about evening. And you can think about tomorrow. I wonder what will happen to me tomorrow?” We didn’t answer. Who can tell? The End whisper "come closer COLOGNE What could he lovelier?. . . a balmy summer evening, a secluded terrace and . . . him.
