IT'S A LIE! [CONTINUED FROM PACE 35] such sputtering sentences as . . . "her feet are in my face" . . . etc. that made it a lively evening. When we chatted with Kathryn on MGM's "Kiss Me Kate" set and later lunched with her, we jotted down a few of her current assignments. Contracts with both MGM and Warner Bros., a series of concerts, RCA Victor recordings, and a State Department invitation to tour Australia sounded like the plans of a plane-load of stars, but they belong exclusively to Kathryn. No wonder she resents the 'easy life' slur and fumes, "It's a Lie!" The only visible sign of her many activities is the huge wicker basket-purse she carries. It's about the size of a family picnic hamper. "There's the picture script — for work, a list of appointments for business, knitting for home, passport for my trip to Madrid, and a murder mystery for me. "It's funny how unpredictable things can be. When Warners agreed it would be too strenuous for me to do 'Mile. Modiste' right now and postponed it until January, I thought to myself — how in the world will I fill-in the time!" A smile wrinkled up her nose, "That was a problem? Not for long. I started making plans. Now I've promised Ann Miller to go with her to Spain for nine days . . . then I'm recording the entire opera, 'La Boheme' . . . the concert tour starts and there'll be a lot of practice and travel. Well," she said thoughtfully, "that'll give you an idea of how everything is already planned for you." Kathryn not only has a beautiful, wellrounded voice, but a well-rounded sense of balance. Showing us her passport photo she said, "I look like a frightened bunny" . . . then concerning her daughter's singing she commented, "She has a natural voice and the loudest I've ever heard . . . and she refers to her new blonde hair as 'the shade of chopped liver.' " She has devised a system whereby her work doesn't make her merely a guest in her own home. "I do the marketing on Sundays and plan the menus for the week. I use this free time to make arrangements for various items such as having the house painted on the outside and the garden re-landscaped." If she isn't working, she takes a daily singing lesson from Leon Cepparo at MGM. "Columbia Concerts keep wiring me for my list of songs for the concert tour. It's hard to know what to select. The songs I like this month, I may not want to do at all next month." We were amazed to learn how much time and effort a star has to spend on wardrobe. "For the concert, I'll wear bouffant gowns. That's what audiences expect, and I want to give them what they like. But you have to be so careful. It's an unwritten law that you never wear the same dress to premieres or openings. It's Now!
