TV Radio Mirror (Jan - Jun 1963)

to beat characters and wallows in that association — especially because she knows what it does to us. "She begins resenting all she's had. She goes through periods where Oh! if she could only swallow our names. Actually, she's an introvert. Maybe a long-term relationship with a psychiatrist could straighten her out. Who knows? Right now she's at the U.C.L.A. Neuropsychiatry Hospital. The doctors tell us that in their judgment it hardly seems likely this is a condition she will outgrow with time." They continued softly. "When she's thinking straight, she's a gorgeous child," said her mother. "She has a beautiful figure," said her stepfather. "She's not only a beauty, but she's creative. This child can write and paint brilliantly. But I guess all we can do is hope . . . and pray." Miss Thiess has occasionally jazzed up many a movie and TV screen. However, since May, 1954, she's put her ambitions in mothballs to concentrate on being Bob Taylor's missus. Part of this decision undoubtedly springs from another low spot in Bob's life; his divorce from first wife Barbara Stanwyck. "I haven't seen Barbara in two years," Bob said. "I used to stop in on the spur of the moment and we'd have a cup of coffee together. I kind of feel sorry for her." He thought silently a moment, then, "Somewhere along the line, Barbara lost out on happiness. She's a terrific actress. But that's all she ever cared about. She could have been happier if she'd had a hobby. Or given of herself. Or shared the things a man likes to do. In all these years, she's never ever come near our house or even bothered to get to know Ursula. It's a shame. Ursula could be very good for her." Perhaps Stanwyck isn't why he's loath to have the second Mrs. Taylor win any Academy Awards, but, whatever the reason, it's agreed Ursula's career is very minor in their lives. "Recently I did the 'Tonight Show,' " Bob said. "And some old gal in the first row leaned onto the stage, stuck out her hand and did that tired 'remember me' bit. Tell you the truth, I didn't. Finally, she said, 'Don't you remember? I interviewed you for my school paper. We haven't changed a bit, have we?' "Let's face it, honey," he sighed. "The ravages of age take their toll, no matter what I try. I mean, what are you going to do? You can't fight it. The only thing you can fight is that overweight bit. But even that's getting to be a tough struggle for me. Time was, when I got a little flabby around the middle, I'd just exclude that second piece of pie. These days it's not enough any more. I've really got to stick on diets a week at a time. "And , that's why," he said, showing the disappointment he felt over the loss of his show, "you've really got to grab every single opportunity that comes your way. You've got to make everything count. And what's most important, you've got to try to salt away every buck you can, because there are always younger, newer guys coming up every day." —Cindy Adams The Desired Number of Children Makes The Happiest Marriages A family is blessed with happier times and accomplishments when parents can love, guide, support and educate each child— individually.
