Jack Buetel made his first film appearance in the role of Billy the Kid in “ The Outlaw.’’ Bom in Dallas, Texas, he left his native town with the ambition of becoming a film star, but was reduced to sharing a room with four other job-hunters, sleeping on a mattress on the floor, when he got the chance that was the first success of any kind he had had in his quest. Jane Russell is the other newcomer who co-starred with Jack Buetel in “ The Outlaw.” She was born in Van Nuys, California, and after leaving high school worked as a photographer's model to help support her widowed mother and four brothers. She left this, as it provided a most uncertain income, for a job as receptionist in a doctor’s office which brought in a fixed sum of two pounds a week, afternoons only. It was then that she got the chance of the leading feminine role of Rio in “ The Outlaw.” Barbara Mullen, who made her film debut in “ Jeannie,” has had a remarkable life already, despite her youth. The daughter of Pat Mullen, the Irish writer who wrote and assisted Robert Flaherty to direct “ Man of Aran," she was brought up in an American speakeasy by her Irish mother. At the age of thirteen, with the aid of a little make-up, she looked sixteen and was doing a song and dance act on the stage. Seven years later she had had enough strange experiences to write an autobiography that became a best- seller. And at twenty-two she made a hit on the stage in her first dramatic role of “ Jeannie," which she brought to the screen a year later. Buddy Pepper is the talented young man who made his film debut opposite Jane Withers in “ Small Town Deb.” He was something of a musical prodigy as a child, for at the age of eleven he toured as a piano soloist with the Louisville Philharmonic Concert Orchestra. An accomplished dancer and actor, as well as a composer, he arranged songs and accompanied Jane Withers on her personal appearances at army camp concerts organised by the United Services organisations. It was the popularity of their work that led to them being teamed on the Patrick O'Moore is the young Irishman who made his Hollywood film debut in “Smilin’ Through." Formerly producer and director of the Dublin Gate Players in Ireland, he made his American stage debut with Flora Robson in “ Ladies in Retire- ment." Since going to America he has lived in a trailer. He had had one fling at films before—he appeared in this country in “ Evensong " back in T934. Barbara Mullen. Left: Patrick O'Moore. Eva Gabor is the fair-haireu, brown-eyed Hungarian beauty whom we first saw in “ Forced Landing.” Her second film was “ Pacific Blackout.” She was born in Budapest, where her father was a jeweller, her mother a society leader. Given a film test and a long term contract, she learned English in six weeks. P.S. 97 G
