how to be the type HE wants you to be 1 ANNETTE FUNICELLO ( fun-loving ) Life is a picnic to her (as it is to Molly Bee, Connie Stevens, Doris Day, Debbie) and I want to tag along, so some of her sparkle will rub off on me, says Rick Nelson. She’s musical — plays a uke and likes to harmonize. Her clothes are easy : shorts, pleated skirts and blazers, white duck pants and little sailor hats. Her smile is like a four-alarm fire, and the way she wrinkles her nose when she laughs — it kills me. She looks wonderful in polka-dots, charm bracelets, red corduroy, has bouncy hair and loves the wind in it. She brings me out, gets me to do crazy things. We go to the zoo and die laughing at the polar bears, and the monkeys. She likes Thurber illustrations, bubble baths, bedtime stories; plays tennis, even baseball; is a natural-born flirt, which means there’s nothing phony or obvious about the way she does it. She has the light touch. She’s not afraid of what people will say, because she trusts herself. She has a wonderful time just being a girl. And she sure makes me glad I’m a boy. SHIRLEY TEMPLE ( womanly ) There’s something solid about her (like Sandra Dee, Vici Shaw, Deborah Kerr, Simone Signoret). Something I could build my life around, says Bob Horton. Maybe it’s the serious look in her eyes that does it. They’re clear and intense, with thick, expressive brows. Her hair is fluffy and natural looking. She likes to putter in a garden, make unusual soups and stews, serve cheese with apples or pears. We’re both sunworshippers, love sailing or just plain hiking, want to live in an old farmhouse with a creek out back, go barefoot and bareheaded, walk in the rain. She looks great in shirtwaist dresses, velvet slacks, old GI jackets, halter-top dresses, sandals, sleeveless blouses, belted coats, big pocketbooks and the color yellow. She’s practical; helps me save money, gives me confidence, listens carefully to what I tell her, and can keep a secret. She feels a responsibility for the well-being of all living creatures, and cares for them as devotedly as she will one day care for children — mine, I hope. 3 SUSAN HAYWARD ( sexy) Her aim is to make me happy (like Rita Hayworth, or Brigitte Bardot, Marilyn Monroe, Liz Taylor, Tuesday Weld ) , even if she can’t ever be punctual, count money or control her temper. She does pretty much what she darn pleases and. luckily, most of the time it pleases me, says Edd Byrnes. She can get away with extreme clothes: red satin, plunging necklines, elbow-length gloves, a leopard jacket — even a bikini. Her mouth is her most provocative feature, and she paints it brilliantly: the lips always a little parted, the lower one slightly fuller than the upper — which means she’s very good at pouting and getting her own way. She loves big jewels, hanging earrings, orchids, fancy petticoats; likes to go on shopping sprees, or to the beach; is a big eater. She has a passion for humor books, but likes me to read aloud to her. She’s impulsive, ticklish, gets a big kick out of shocking people. I can’t take my eyes off her — she gives off rays of life, energy, excitement, that are 100% female. ( Continued ) 68
