She's nineteen, talented, and outspoken — and here's her first interview. Above, Doris gives you a grin. Below, she shares smiles with Dick Powell in "The Singing Marine."
How Doris Weston sang and smiled her way from an amateur hour to Dick Powell's new picture
By Brian Herbert
ALL young actresses have a disconcerting way of A\ answering unimportant questions and neglect/ \ ing to answer the important ones.
Doris Weston is like that. She is nineteen, pretty, talented and outspoken. She was willing enough to be interviewed, even helpful when she could be, but she was much more interested in getting a certain "Bob" on the telephone. She rang him as soon as she had settled herself in a chair.
