Screenland Plus TV-Land (Jul 1959 - May 1960)

what prevented me from blowing the chance. Later, I was signed at UniversalInternational and they wanted to change both my names but by now I took my stand and said Stuart Whitman was it." He came to the attention of 20th Century-Fox after being seen in "Johnny Trouble" and many TV shows. He is now one of their hottest properties. Stuart is today teaching his youngsters — all four of them — Tony, 5, Mike, 4, Linda, 2, and Scott, 1 — to take care of themselves but he never wants them to fight their way through with their fists. "Unless you want to be a pug," he said solemnly, "fists aren't the answer. Believe me, I know." Stuart has found his place, his roots. His past is a firm lesson to him. He's not proud of what he's done but he chose to grow up the hard and dangerous way. Oh, he still fights. I remember once doing a small part in a "Have Gun, Will Travel" TV show in which Stuart was playing the lead. In it he had a humdinger of a set-to with Richard Boone. They made a complete mess of a barn. Later he said, beaming, "I love to do fights in pictures!" But there was a big difference — he gets paid for fighting now. END The Conquest Of Hollywood continued from page 60 Edd would add one more requirement. "Above all," he smiles winningly, "she must love me, and I must love her." Pending materialization of this dream girl, Edd has a high time playing the field. He has a wide and impressive circle of distaff pals, some not in the picture business, others very much in it — like Venetia Stevenson, Connie Stevens, Cathy Crosby, et al. "I'm not shy anymore," he owns up, nevertheless unable to hold back a blush. And the blush is a telltale clue to his appealing personality. Behind Edd Byrnes' pleasantly audacious facade lives a young man who is scrupulous to make honest evaluations of himself, and who is careful not to confuse hope with achievement, or to mistake opportunity as an excuse for mediocrity. It has been a year since he signed with Warner Bros. His popularity multiplies with each succeeding episode of "77 Sunset Strip." Yet for all his deceptive veneer of self-assurance, Edd Byrnes betrays an innate modesty. He still hasn't had the nerve to look up Kirk Douglas and remind him of that fateful visit at the Sherry Netherlands Hotel. "I'm not well-known enough yet," he modestly insists. On that basis, this pleasant reunion would not seem too far off. Edd Byrnes seems nicely on his way to becoming wellknown enough.
