Film femmes all want to co-star with brawny Burt
By Elizabeth Wilson
THERE was a time in the theatre when the most devastating thing you could say to someone you didn't like was, "May all your children grow up to be acrobats." That really cut 'em down to a nubbin. But all that has changed now. Ever since Mr. and Mrs. James Lancaster's boy, Burt, back-flipped from acrobat to star-producer. May all your children grow up to be acrobats is now practically synonymous with saying may your kids be millionaires.
Not that Burt Lancaster is a millionaire exactly. ("/ haven't a highly developed money sense," he says. "Around me money melts rapidly.") But give him time, give him time. For a guy who just got started in this business less than three years ago, he's doing all right. Just about as inactive as a beaver with a power complex. His first picture, Mark Hellinger's "The Killers," established him as a star. His last completed picture, "Kiss The Blood Off My Hands," will establish him as a producer. Last Winter Burt and Harold Hecht drew up the proper papers and formed their own producing company, called Norma Productions — named after Burt's wife. They chose as their first production a novel called "Kiss The Blood Off My Hands." Burt co-stars with Joan Fontaine and also tries his hand at producing. The next film release of Norma Productions will be, he says, John Galsworthy's "The First And The Last." (Please turn to page 59)
