Screenland (Nov 1950-Oct 1951)

fingers — but has an accurate aim. Duke isn't exactly a hobbyist; his only collection is one of guns, between thirty and forty of them. Duke is always forgetting his keys and when we go on trips always forgetting to take his cameras, and he has several. He is devoted to "window shopping" in magazines, continually is sending off for things he sees advertised, everything from clothes to kitchen gadgets. He has a way with children; they are attracted to him like nails to a magnet. His own four children, although they spend most of the time with their mother, adore him, visit us often and have spent long vacations with us at Catalina, until this last Summer when it was impossible because we were in Mexico. Incidentally, the oldest boy, Mike, had a small role in an MGM picture and his brother, Pat, performed with his father in "Rio Grande Command," in a bit role. Duke wants them all — there are also Toni and Melinda — to follow whatever careers they choose; if it is acting, he'll encourage them. Duke isn't interested in any kind of jewelry for himself and likes me to wear just one nice piece. He seldom comments on my clothes, but I know he prefers me to wear well tailored, simple things. He is a wonderful dancer but isn't too fond of dancing. He likes plain American cooking. I had been acting in pictures, mostly in my native Mexico but some in Hollywood, for six years before we were married; then I gave up my career. I think one actor in the family is enough. If we both were working we'd see even less of each other. I want to be relaxed and untired when Duke comes home in the evening, and be free to go on location trips with him — and most of his pictures have long location schedules. Duke never has said anything about my continuing or discontinuing my career, but I feel he's glad I gave it up. Perhaps it was prophetic that when we met we both were very fond of the song "J'Attendrai." You may have heard the Jean Sablon recording of it; it means "I'll Be Waiting For You." For the wife of a man who is as busy as Duke is, I think it is very fitting, so I now say it is my theme song!

I played with all the kids on the block. I went to their birthday parties. They came to mine. My parents had a Summer place to which we went, immediately school was out, every Summer . . . typical, I tell you, just Miss Average American typical. In Milwaukee's Wauwatosa high school, I appeared in plays.
