We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.
Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.
LITTLE AND GOOD TRIXIE WANDA HENDRIX was only fifteen years old when she travelled from Jacksonville, Florida, where she was bom on November 3rd, 1928, to Hollywood, accompanied by her mother and father, and with a film contract in her pocket. She began acting when at school, and on leaving app>eared with a local repertory company. The director of the company interested a talent scout in her—the contract was the result. Wanda made a tremendous im- pression in her first film role as the little London slavey who was pushed to her death from a window in the Charles Boyer film. Confidential Agent, but her youth and even more youthful appearance made suitable roles difficult to find. She was seventeen when she played the role of a girl of twelve in Bing Crosby’s Welcome Stranger, and Paramount then delayed making Now and Forever for a year, so that she could play the leading role—at the time she was tested, her acting was magnificent, but she did not look old enough to be married, as the role demanded. While waiting, she appeared as a Mexican girl in Ride the Pink Horse, and as an English girl in My Own True Love. Green-eyed and brown-haired, she is five feet two inches tall. TENTH YEAR TPEN years after beginning his stage career with the Edinburgh Repertory Com- pany, James Donald, playing opposite Valerie Hobson in The Small Voice, had his big screen chance, having worked through a series of Demetrio London, The Way Ahead and Broken Journey. Bora in Aberdeen on May i8th, 1917, he is six feet tall, with dark hair and grey eyes, and was educated in Exlinbnrgh and Canada. He was at Edinburgh Uni- versity, with no particular ambition (but a strong determination not to become a schoolmaster, as his father, a doctor, had suggested) when he saw Sir Cedric Hardwicke on the stage in " The Late Christopher Bean.” He knew then that acting would be his career. After a thorough grounding with the Edinburgh Repertory Com- p>any, he went to London, but at first it was only his father’s financial help that enabled him to live at all. He was beginning to make headway when World War II broke out. In his spare time he gardens and golf, reads books and plays, and a keen interest in art although he says he can neither paint nor draw.
