She diets and feasts with |il enthusiasm. She may go for days end without looking anything nourhg in the face — or she may do a come turnabout, devouring knishes and iching bagels and cream cheese at ^nblatt's Delicatessen on Sunset Strip, orging herself on an exotic ten-course iiese meal at George Lim's Kowloon. ? could die!" she exclaimed when she me at the Villa Capri. "I've been a candy binge all week. I was on a for a week — one week! I ate nothing i hard boiled eggs, lettuce and celery, I that kind of junk. But I've gone i I really shot my bolt this week. I t to dinner last night, and started off i olives and Hershey bars, cheese, a i pot of spaghetti and three ice cream iJaes. After I've dieted a good length itime — a week is a good length of »p — I always go off like that. I couldn't nnto anything this morning. I tried on F dresses. That makes me think maybe t ught to start dieting again. I keep ng tomorrow. It's beginning to be a f ase with me."

'far as any onlooker is able to perflie, none of it goes to fat. It all goes beauty. 3js frivolous as Tuesday may be about ' food crazes, she is quite solemn about 1! career.

I'm a defeatist," she concedes with hrug of her shoulders, ignoring the that if this be true she has gone very very quickly on defeatism. "Actually "lew York, I had a great desire just to loticed. Now that I'm beginning to be ced, I'm beginning to think it won't I just keep thinking it's pure luck. % I thrive on misery." She says it i a Mona Lisa smile. "That's another g. I must have misery. That's been ever since I was born." uesday hungers for acceptance and :tion-^-and questions them when they offered. Since coming to Hollywood, she is less easily convinced than ever that she is appreciated for her own qualities — rather than as a status-symbol which her success in pictures seems to have made her. Even her affirmations bespeak this touching fear. "I went to a party over the weekend," the experience seemed to leave her happy and incredulous. "I didn't know anyone there, and no one knew me. I was'nt dressed up. And everyone liked me! That meant a lot to me. I'm always testing." Asked who she thinks she's really testing, she quickly nods, "Myself." Then she adds, "But I find myself testing acquaintances, not friends. You don't test friends. If I think I've found someone who might be a friend, who maybe I could trust, I won't test them. I won't play games — because life is too short." She acknowledges that this is a fairly recent acquired wisdom. "Like with a boy friend," she illustrates pensively. "I used to play games. I'd think he'd like me better if I did this, if I didn't see him too often, things like that. Those are such games. I feel that two friends should be able to let down the barriers. Selfishness is really what it is — because you don't want to get hurt, so you go back into the world of games. And it's not just playing games with boys, but with life — just playing games, deceiving for the sake of an impression, you know. It's better to tell the truth. It takes a long time so you can get to the point where you can say what you feel. I'd rather lose a friend by telling the truth than by telling a lie." Truth, of course, is many things to many people. To Tuesday Weld, the truth is that all that is apparent, especially in the guise of friendship, is usually a good deal less than all there is. "Getting recognition hasn't made any difference," she admits despairingly. "In fact, it even makes more of a limitation on a lot of things. You become more suspicious of people. It's like the night before you do a TV show you've got one friend who will see you just to talk with you. Then the night after you do a TV show, you've got 50 friends you never even knew about. That makes you lonelier than ever. You're lucky if you can have one real friend. Let's face it. It's funny when you think about it. You suffer so much because you don't have attention, because you're always being shoved in the background. Then when you get it, you don't trust it." It was, as a result, quite a while before Tuesday was able to overcome her suspicion of the press. Somehow she felt as if their sudden interest, too, was an act of opportunism. In the beginning, she rebelled against publicity, and only lately has she come tentatively to terms with this fact of Hollywood life. "I like interviews — some of them," she says jauntily now. "It's almost like going to an analyst, and there's no fee!
