I love beauty and I love to see it in my garden and in my home. If beauty and gracious living are extravagances, then I buy some pretty things." Certainly Peggy's home is beautiful — and far from being modest. It's a French Normandy place in Brentwood — and is sufficiently large to allow Peggy, Nicki, Peggy's sister and brother-in-law to roam about without getting into a traffic jam. The latest addition to her home is a music room. It is like a Paris street scene and has huge glass windows. Black and white diamond-shaped designs feature the floor and there are musical prints on the chairs. The main light in her life, of course, is Nicki, aged eight. Peggy takes her role as a mother very seriously. "I've always felt it was a good idea to be a friend to my child," Peggy remarked. "I believe in raising her by love — but the right kind of love and not the kind governed by any authority being a mother gives you. I discipline Nicki, naturally, but as infrequently as possible so that when I do have to reprimand her it means something to her. I prefer putting her on her honor instead of standing over her with a whip. Above all, I keep a sense of humor important with her. "Nicki and I are friends. We often go out on 'dates' together, usually for dinner. And we both paint. Nicki likes ballet too and enjoys making up little dances for me." There isn't much doubt where Peggy will go from here. Warners have already decided she will go right to the top. This is okay with Peggy. She'd like to be a movie star now, although at one time she wasn't really interested in such a career. She's already important enough, it's well to note, to be given script approval— a very rare concession to a star. One thing is sure — she'll burn up the screen when she goes into a song. And that's a pleasant kind of fire to watch. NO WONDER ARLENE AND LEX GAVE UP! (CONTINUED FROM PACE 39) do whatever made her the happiest, just so long as it didn't interfere with our being together. "Suddenly, her career began to zoom and with it, naturally, her ambitions. She was writing a column, working on its promotion, then she went into the hosiery and lingerie business and all of the attendant publicity brought her more picture offers. Then every free moment had to be expended toward the expansion of her new career and her various business enterprises. It not only fascinated her — but it completely absorbed her. "A man likes to come home after a day's work and find his wife waiting for him. Waiting to listen to his problems, his little successes — to spend the end of the day together. But she was always too busy. It wasn't her fault except she had too much to do. Or, it was one party or another — to meet and see important people. I complained naturally — as any man would. I only found one fault and that was not with Arlene herself — for she is a sweet girl — but that one was she had no time for me. Understandably, this led to many differences — and a separation. "Arlene and I, in the beginning, had planned a home — a real home to give us the feeling of being settled and permanent. This was her first marriage — and my second. I went into it to make every effort to make it work. Sometimes when one bends over backwards because he has had the experience of a first marriage which taught him that marriage is a complete partnership and you have to give it all of the attention and interest you give a job or a career — well, it can be mistaken for weakness. "Actually, almost any distraction or discord between the two people who love each other is minor and should never be allowed to come between them to make a divorce possible. Arlene had waited until she was twenty-six to marry — and her approach to marriage seemed a sensible one. And then along came that sudden boom in her career. Our marriage lasted a little over a year. "The last time we went back together — we said it would be for keeps or not at all. I had spent months searching for the type of house Arlene wanted. I finally found it — and she was delighted. We planned and furnished it together, and it was just ready for occupancy. I had to go away on location three weeks for 'Battles Of Pontiac Chief.' The second night I was back — Arlene said that our marriage just wasn't what she wanted. I was asked to pack and go. "Arlene is too kind a girl to want to hurt anyone — and she never went into details. I argued that it takes a great sense of humor and one has to give twice as much as they'd think necessary and never take each other for granted to make a marriage work out. That the little things are silly if you analyze them; that neither a man nor his wife should listen to the advice of wellmeaning friends but should work out their own problems. It doesn't matter who wins in arguments so long as the marriage wins. It can't be all give for it has to be a lot of taking. The first year is always a trying period for two personalities and two different temperaments to make the adjustments into a stable and happy marriage. "Truthfully, I believe, Arlene is a very confused girl. She consulted astrologers and handwriting experts — and I can't help but believe she wanted our life together and her life and her career — all three to go along wonderfully. There wasn't enough time, however, for all three. And one had to go. "One has to get over being upset. 64
