COVER
GIRL
By ELEANOR HARRIS
IF you want to make Cover Girl Harriet Hilliard laugh heartily, just ask her the timeworn question, "Do you think marriage and careers mix?"
"Of course I do," she would tell you, "because mine are one and the same thing. Without my career I'd never have met my husband — and without my husband I wouldn't have had the career . . . to say nothing about our two sons!"
Neither the career nor the marriage would ever have happened, though, if Mother Nature hadn't arranged a cloudburst thunderstorm one day back in 1932, while Orchestra Leader Ozzie Nelson was playing the town of Des Moines, Iowa. At the time of the deluge, Ozzie had nothing on his mind but buying his mother a present. He instantly dodged into the nearest doorway for cover — the doorway being that of a movie theater. Once he'd established that, he bought a ticket and went inside to see the movie. It happened to be a Rudy Vallee short subject, and acting in it was the prettiest girl Ozzie had ever seen in his life. She was a luscious five feet five, she weighed 110 pounds, her hair was a soft brown and her eyes gray-green. Her name, of course, was Harriet Hilliard.
"That girl," he announced aloud in the darkness to the surprised theatergoers of Des Moines, "is the girl singer I need for my band!" — and ran right out into the storm again to reach the nearest phone booth and track the girl down. He did, although once tracked down, Harriet needed some convincing before she signed up.
"But I've never sung!" she protested.
"That I can teach you — and what I'm really after is a girl to exchange comedy lines with me before the band," Ozzie argued. At the time this had never been done before, and Harriet finally agreed to make the great experiment. Only, however, after Ozzie had solemnly promised her, "Don't worry about working all hours with a band-full of men. I'll make sure that everything is strictly business. Strictly!"
We will fade out on this earnest speech and fade in again three years later on October 8th, 1935 — where we see Harriet Hilliard and Ozzie Nelson standing in the Nelson family livingroom in Hackensack, New Jersey, saying "I do." Then we will fade out again and fade in now, which is ten years later. We see a charming white Williamsburg Colonial house set in spacious gardens in Hollywood, California. In
