1:1 i ■ li m 1 1 TUESDAY WELD SAYS: "I feel old inside A teenage femme fatale, Tuesday startled Hollywood by dating men more than twice her age; here are her own reasons for it \ ' MOTHER, Mrs. Aileen Weld, doesn't always have last word with Tuesday who craves independence. ■ By AMY LEWIS HEN TUESDAY WELD, who celebrated her 16th birthday on August 27th, began to date 44-year-old, twice-divorced actor John Ireland, the film colony's collective eyebrows shot up to stratospheric heights. Particularly since John is the father of two sons, one a year and a day older than Tuesday, and the other 14. And when the junior grade femme fatale added bandleader Ray Anthony, in his late 30's, also twice divorced and the father of a son, to her long list of swains, Hollywood still remained puzzled and slightly shocked. But doll-faced Tuesday, while calmly declaring that she hoped to land John Ireland as a guest on her "Many Loves Of Dobie Gillis" CBS-TV series, couldn't understand what all the shouting was about on the burning question of the loves of Tuesday Weld. "I feel old inside," said young Tuesday with a sigh. "In fact," she continued with a soft childish smile, "I think I'm on my third reincarnation now — Lola Montez, the famous Spanish dartcer and adventuress. "People seem surprised that I find older men more interesting than boys my age. The truth is that I grew up a lot faster than most kids and my life has not been like that of the average girl — so why should I pretend it has? My dad passed away after a long illness when I was only three; that year I began modeling. My mother had a rough time trying to take care of my sister Sally, brother David and me. But it wasn't long before I assumed mature responsibilities and was supporting the whole family." Tuesday ran her tapering fingers through her silver-gold tumbling curls. "Because I felt so emotionally mature and sophisticated," she continued, "it seemed natural to act older than my chronological age, and I began dating when I was only 10." (Tuesday, a vocabulary addict, tosses off such words as "chronological age" with the aplomb of a college graduate.) "So I'm long past the time when I can feel comfortable with kids my age. I've lived too long in a grownup world for that. Now and then I've tried dating boys my age or even a few years older. But," she giggled, "when I did, I never knew if I should offer to pay for the hamburgers or let him! Besides, I was bored because I wasn't learning anything." continued on page S3 50
