TROY'S SECRET IS: As a kid, the in Westerns terrified me HOW TO DO IT: On a piece of paper, write down the letters which appear in heavy black capitals in the story at right. Cut letters apart, so you can form words with them (as in playing Scrabble). Now for the fun! From the ten letters capitalized in TROY DONAHUE'S story, you can form two words of five letters each. When correctly assembled, they'll spell out his secret in the blank spaces above. When you've solved all parts of the puzzle for a Grand Prize — and? or just one secret for a Personal Star Prize — enter the missing words in the proper space on the last page of this issue, which is the official form for mailing all entries. It took eighteEn movies to make a star out of Troy Donahue — but he made them fast. He's juSt twenty-three and didn't even think of becoming an actor until after he'd been graduated from the New York Military Academy at Cornwall-on-Hudson. Perhaps he wOuldn't have thought of it then, though both his parents were in show business, if he hadn't suffered a knee injury whicH disqualified him for West Point. Born Merle Johnson Jr., into a well-heeled family — his dad was head of the motion-picture division of General MOtors — Troy grew up on Long Island, got some training in summer stock before heading for Hollywood. His mother and younger sister (his father died when Troy was fourteen) have Now joined him there. He's big — six-feej-three and 170 pounds — and blond and a natural target for the starlets around town. But, up to now, his heart belongS to his career, which is really perking since "A Summer Place" vaulted h|m into the limelight last year. Coming up next: Title role in Warner film, "Parrish."
