It took some doing but after ten months he persuaded the aspiring actress, Patricia Knight, to elope to Elkton, Maryland Broadway called and he faced the uncertainty of following his chosen dream. One day at a drugstore counter he saw a beautiful blonde. When she left the drugstore so did he and pursued her down the street At first Hollywood was cold. Times were tough and discouraging. Finally he got a break and went into “Life Begins at 8:30” with Ida Lupino Cornel’s a family man. His greatest admiration is his lovely wife, Pat Knight, who is to have a career of her own — with Cornel’s complete cooperation and enthusiasm. He has great faith in her ability, dating back to the time in their leaner New York days when they played together on the stage. In fact, he would like to make a picture with her and it is quite probable he will since Pat is now under contract to Twentieth Century-Fox too. When Hollywood first took notice of Cornel, they felt he should not play romantic roles. But he has proved his ability in the varied roles he’s played. In “The Bandit of Sherwood Forest” he’s the swashbuckling son of Robin Hood. In “Leave Her to Heaven” he’s the serious young writer. In “Centennial Summer” he’s the lover superb. At home Cornel is a family man who pursues his varied hobbies, painting, writing and fencing — who adores little Wendy and beautiful Pat — who looks back darkly on defeat, but smiles with confidence on what’s ahead. 52
