It seems so silly now." "This fellow Bill Bauer is mixed up," Lyle goes on. "He is a sensitive, nice guy who tries to be right. He's quite mature as far as his work is concerned, a terrific salesman, but in certain ways quite immature. He's naive about people. He loves Bert, his wife; he's ambitious, and he wants a happy, well-rounded life for them both. But he sometimes does foolish things and upsets Bert. Of course some of the time he is completely right, and some of the time Bert is right, but each is always blaming the other for everything that goes wrong." "That's a lot like the way we were in our argumentative period," Diana picks up the conversation. "Lyle, too, is sensitive, ambitious and serious, always searching for the values below the surface of things. Lyle has a gay, happy side, more than most people realize, but emotionally he sometimes has made things much more difficult than they need be. He blamed me, and I blamed him, and some of the time we were both wrong, just like the Bauers. But that's all over now." "What happened to me — what happened to us," Lyle interjects, "is that things began to smooth out as a result of living a little more, experiencing more things, learning more about the real values, looking around at other people and realizing that they had problems, too, and were trying to solve them in the best way they knew. If we were mixed up, so were plenty of others. I suppose what really happened is that we went through the 'mellowing process' people talk about. Diana learned to trust me, I began to try to understand how she felt about things, and our rather explosive courtship and early years of marriage settled down to a good life. These are the things that have helped make me understand this fellow I play, and to enjoy playing him so much, because we're still a lot alike, he and I, emotionally." The Sudrows were married in New York on November 1, 1942. Lyle is a lean, wellbuilt, six-feet-plus blond, with blue eyes. Diana is a slender five-feet-five, with light hair and gray -blue eyes. Nicole, called Nikki, is an eight-and-a-half-year-old replica of her father in coloring and features. At this point, she is interested in dancing, singing, acting, and anything and everything that is close to the theatre. Since both parents have known show business from childhood, Lyle before he was eight and Diana since early high-school days, Nikki comes by these interests as naturally as growing up. The Sudrows' "explosive courtship," as they call it, began when both had small parts in a road company of "My Maryland." Lyle, about twenty -two, with considerable show-business experience behind him, had come to New York to get singing roles in the theatre. He was born in Los Angeles, but had lived in several different sections of the country. Diana's home was with her folks, on Long Island. Lyle was trying to get into New York radio, and Diana had been in a number of Broadway plays, when they both landed chorus jobs in the musical, where each was singled out for a small speaking part. "The first day of rehearsal, when I walked in and saw Diana sitting there with the other girls, I knew this was it," Lyle recalls, "but the show closed after two weeks and Diana went back to her folks. I took a room in a cheap midtown hotel in New York, and Diana let me go on seeing her." Three weeks after their first meeting he proposed to her, but she laughed at this and thought what a mad young man he was. He proposed the fourth week, and the fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth. Abruptly, he stopped putting his hopes into words. Sometimes, when they quarreled, he wasn't even sure she would ever see him again, much less marry him. Sometimes she made him so unhappy that he wasn't sure he ever wanted to see her again. Things went along like this for about six months, with Lyle just getting a foothold on Broadway, when the Army took him. When he went to take his physical he felt sure he hadn't a chance, because of a punctured eardrum. "Unfortunately, I'll be back," he told Diana. He saw her fortyfive minutes before the train took him to Fort Dix. "After all our quarreling and our differences of opinion, when I knew Lyle was really going away from me I realized I was in love with him and had been all along," Diana says. "We had a big argument only two days before he went into the Army, but now that he was leaving I cried to my mother and told her I was the most miserable girl in the world. 'See what's happened,' I said. 'You didn't want me to marry him and I didn't want to get married, and now he's going away from me.' My mother realized I was really in love and that changed her mind completely. 'Don't worry,' she tried to comfort Lyle. 'She'll marry you.' Then I was embarrassed, wishing my mother hadn't said that. It was really quite a big scene!" Lyle was sent to Fort Eustis, Virginia, for three months' basic training with the anti-aircraft Coast Artillery. As the months went on, he got away from wherever he was stationed whenever he could to visit Diana. Early in his training he knew he had to make more money than a private's pay if he ever wanted to get married before the war was over. So he got a commission. His command, ig officer announced one day that all men who wanted to try for OCS should take one step forward. "What's that?" Lyle whispered to a fellow next to him. "You mean you get to be an officer that way?" The man nodded, Lyle stepped forward. He telephoned Diana he wouldn't go through with it unless she would promise to come down to see him midway through the three-month course. When she did, he thought they should consider plans for getting married. "It never was a real proposal," Diana still insists. "When I was ready to get into the cab that would take me to my train to New York, Lyle said matter-of-factly that I should go ahead and make whatever wedding plans I wanted. He just assumed we were getting married." "The first proposal didn't count with her," Lyle breaks in, "or all those other times it had continued for the first seven or eight weeks I knew her. She wanted another formal proposal, but I had said it once and I had repeated it, and that stood for all time." Lyle's commission in the Coast Artillery came October 29, 1942, and, when he got his first ten days' leave, he and Diana were married in St. Thomas' Church in New York. "Even two days before I got my leave, Diana phoned and said she wasn't sure she would marry me after all. We were quarreling over lome foolish thing at the time. I got mad and told her the only reason I had gone through OCS was to get an officer's pay so we could get married. I suspect she was just acting difficult, as Bert Bauer sometimes does in Guiding Light, and I was being a little Bill
