In their careers, they are content not to progress but to go on doing the same things they have been doing for the last ten years. I wouldn't like that. I'd rather be like Bob Montgomery, who attacks every new role with the idea of progressing, of being better. That's the way I would like my life to be: never standing still, going forward always. You can't be happy unless you du something to be happy. You have to do it yourself. No one else can do it for you." Yes, glamor build-up to the contrary, Bob Stack has earthy ideas. He is also a contradiction. Sensitive, idealistic, he likes the warmth and comfort of home, good books, poetry, music. He loves beautiful scenery. He is aware of the beauty of color, of light and shadow. On the other hand, he is a huntsman. He loves to tramp for days, to pack back into the mountains. He likes to go fishing. Whenever he can get out of Hollywood, he goes to the wilds: to ski runs in the winter, to water and beaches and sun in the summer. Talking with backwoodsmen in their lingo, Bob Stack is a far cry from the man who sits spellbound during Hollywood Bowl concerts. He has to be rugged to be masculine and virile. He has to be sensitive to appreciate the nuances of a phrase or a scene. There is still another Bob Stack, a rather gay, witty, twinkling person who has a sense of humor, and whose anecdotes are usually directed at himself. He lives with his mother, but he has his half of the house and she has hers. He will tell you about a particular day which was the cook's day off. Bob — who had invited a girl friend over for swimming — was faced with the prospect of cooking some eggs. "They burned on the bottom," he'll explain. "I cooked them so long you couldn't cut them. She was very polite; she ate them. But they were horrible things. I thought eggs had enough juice in themselves. They certainly are juicy enough when you break them open. Besides, no one told me you were supposed to put butter in the pan. Anyway, the cook hides things. I looked all over hell and high water for the frying pan. Finally, I settled on cooking the eggs in a cookie tin. When the cook came back, I said, 'Where in the world do you hide the pans?' She said, 'In the oven; that's logical, isn't it?' It wasn't logical to me. Anyway, I had burned the bottom of the cookie tin, and the cook was mad. Since all I can cook is eggs, I'm going to learn to boil them tonight. Save the cookie tins!" Or he will tell you how he is decorating his half of the house. "It will probably look like God knows what," he'll remark, "but at least it will be mine. There's going to be a little room where I can stick a bar in the corner; and there'll be a place for my guns and trophies. I'm putting in a fireplace, and I've bought two quarter circle couches for in front of it. It may look horrible to everyone else, but it will look nice to me. I'm getting a big boot out of fixing it up." Then he'll dream aloud about the type of house he wants when he gets married. "It will have to be a big house," he'll SCREENLAND muse, "because I want three or four children. And the ceilings should be low and friendly. I don't like high ceilings; I think they make rooms look cold and give a feeling of formality. I think when you live in a certain kind of country, your house should follow the flavor of Jeff O'Donncll borrows an intriguing idea from Mr. Easter Bunny for her pert spring chapeau. the place. If you are going to live in California, you should have an informal, casual California house. I like a place to be liveable, not period-ish. I want to feel when our friends sit down, they won't break the chairs. I'd want enough grounds so we could have a swimming pool to dunk the baby in. And I'd want a fairly large lawn. I've always loved lawns." One of Bob's personality traits is that he's always looking to the future: thinking of a wife, a home, and a family before he has even met the girl! You have a feeling when talking to Bob that he is racing forward into tomorrow, that he can hardly wait. There is a certain impatience in his step, a quick nervousness to his gestures. He loves excitement, likes to drive fast when he's out on an open road. To Bob, life is an adventure, every phase of which unfolds too slowly. But once again the study in contrasts comes up when you remember that as an officer in the Navy, he matured, grew up, attained stability. Therefore, you know he can, control his impatience, that he will never rush headlong into anything. With all he has been, and is, and could be, wrapped into one blond, tanned, 6'1" package, the hubba, hubba, hubba department has a feeling he'll do all right. What do you think? HELP. YOUR BED CROSS
