City & Zone. _State_ Some of the Truth About Myself Continued from page 25 seen at different night clubs. The truth is that if Hollywood stars led the glamorous, exciting lives that they are supposed to lead, according to the different newspaper columnists, they would all be physically and emotionally exhausted. If Hollywood stars had all the romantic affairs with which newspapers credit them and if they engaged in all those daytime and nighttime activities, they would have no time left to make pictures. The truth about Hollywood stars is very similar to the truth which Kathleen Winsor expressed when she was asked if her novel, "Forever Amber," was autobiographical. "Of course not," she said. "If it had been, I wouldn't have had time to write it." If stars led the exciting personal hves they are sometimes represented as leading, they would have no time in which to make pictures. They couldn't possibly crowd all those amours and exciting activities into the very limited, and I mean very limited leisure time they have. So if you really want the truth, that's the first and most important one. Most of my time is spent making pictures. A subject on which I always tell the truth is my age. I was forty years old on May 15, 1945. I could prove it by my birth certificate, if I had to. Writers sometimes ask me, "Why do you tell the truth about your age? Why don't you subtract five or ten years.'"' The only reason against telling the truth is that in a town like Hollywood, where it is an accepted custom to lower your age 5 or 10 years, people automatically add ten years to whatever age you claim. So I supjjose some people automatically conclude that I am fifty years old. That doesn't worry me in the least. I am not sensitive on the subject. I hope that if people erroneously believe that I am fifty, they will also add, "Gosh, isn't he well-preserved for a man of fifty?" Some people who saw me in my first picture, "Citizen Kane/' actually think I am eighty. I must have had a wonderful makeup man in that picture. He made, me look really eighty When I began to appear as a younger man, instead of giving credit to the makeup man on "Citizen Kane," some people wrote me saying, "You must have a wonderful makeup man now. Of course, I know you're eighty because I saw your first picture, but your present makeup men have accomplished wonders in making you look like a comparatively young man. It's a miracle what makeup men can do to make an old man like you look so much younger. When I saw you on the screen recently, I noticed that your wrinkles weren't nearly so deep as in 'Citizen Kane'; your eyes looked much brighter." Another myth that has been perpetrated about myself is that I wear yellow chamois gloves for some very mysterious reason. One writer asked, "Why does Joseph Gotten wear those gloves? Does he have scars on his hands?" 72 SCREENLAND
