TV Radio Mirror (Jul - Dec 1956)

What More Can Any Man Ask? (Continued from page 61) one of radio's loveliest and best-known actresses, Claire Niesen, who plays MaryNoble in Backstage Wife. He has been successful in the music and movie business, as well as radio and TV. He has worked in almost every great city in the country and has lived the glitter and glamour of both New York and Hollywood. But Mel still thinks that children are the greatest thing that can happen to anyone. "Barbara's in the public eye," he observes, "and I'm proud of her success in 'Carousel.' I visited her when the company was on location at Boothbay, Maine, and learned how affectionately she was regarded by everyone. Now that's something that makes a father especially proud. Or take my son Bob, with his special talent for evaluating things and his keen moral sense. These characteristics mean more to a parent than war medals." Good looks run in the Ruick family. Bob and Barbie are both blond. Barbie is slender, tall, pretty and vivacious. Mel himself stands an inch under six feet tall, Bob stands an inch over. Mel has brown hair and brown eyes. All three have a family resemblance, particularly around the eyes. "My children," says Mel, "are involved in the same things that have always fascinated me — flying, music and acting. Maybe it's less than a coincidence, but, when Bob was born, I was flying forest patrol out of Medford, Oregon. And when Barbie was born I was parcelling my time between being an actor and a bandleader. Today, Barbie records for Columbia Records. She has acted in many TV shows — Climax, The Lineup, The Loretta Young Show. She has even played as a comedy foil for Red Skelton." She has, of course, scored a double hit as singer and actress in the musical film, "Carousel." As Mel says, "I think the movie is her first important rung up the ladder, and I wouldn't have missed the Hollywood premiere for anything. The people at CBS knocked themselves out to pre-record City Hospital so that I could make the trip to the Coast. It was a thrill taking that limousine ride with Barbie to Grauman's Chinese. I wouldn't have missed that if it had meant traveling to Kyoto, Japan. I felt the same way when Bob won his wings at Luke Field in Arizona. That was another of the memorable moments in my life." There are three cities which Mel has called home. Since World War II, he has lived in New York. Prior to the war, his home was in Hollywood. And he was born and raised in Boise, Idaho. Mel had two brothers and a sister. His mother died when he was seven, and a governess took over until his father married again — and then Mel was one of seven children. 'Dad was a prominent attorney," he recalls, "but his first love was music. I remember our home concerts on Sunday evenings— about the only night I got out of helping with dishes, because I played violin. Well, practically the whole family , played some instrument." Mel was seventeen when his father died. A year later, after graduating from * igh school, Mel got a job in a mine. He vorked there for more than a year — until the day he picked up a magazine with a cover picture of a young aviator: "I knew .that I wanted to fly. But I also knew I should have more education, so I quit my job and enrolled at the University of California.
