EE REMICK Long distance love By telephone or jet airliner, Lee and her husband, oft separated by career commitments, have managed to make their union thrive IjEE REMICK is getting used to it, although the first half-dozen times it happened she was considerably nonplussed, if not completely "shook up." It seems that when someone who has seen her brilliant characterizations in "The Long Hot Summer", "Anatomy Of A Murder", or "These Thousand Hills", meets Lee for the first time face to face, there develops a moment of reappraisal. Then Lee's new acquaintance says with more candor than tact: "You aren't at all what I expected. I mean, you really aren't like that^ The meaning is clear. The gentlewomanly, charming, well-schooled girl who is Lee Remick in person bears no resemblance whatsoever to a film fan's preconceived picture of an abandoned wench with a Tennessee Williams accent and a Brigitte Bardot wardrobe. "They seem to forget," Lee says with a quiet humor, "that I'm an actress." She is also, with equal success, a whirling dervish. Her husband, Bill Colleran, one of the ablest of young TV directors (the "Hit Parade" for four years, the "Polly Bergen Show", the 1959 Frank Sinatra and Bing Crosby spectaculars, to name a few of his works) met a friend in The Brown Derby recently. "How's your beautiful wife?" inquired the friend. "Fine, thank you," said Bill with a grin. "At the moment she's in Venice, attending the Film Festival. 'Anatomy Of A Murder* is being shown, you know." A few days later Bill was stopped in the corridors at ABC by another director who passed the time of day, closing the chat by asking, "And how's Lee?" "Great," said Bill. "She's in Paris, doing the Dior routine according to her call yesterday." Toward the end of that same week, Bill met a pal at a cocktail party. "What is Lee up to these days?" was the inevitable question. "She's in London, searching the silver vaults for something for our New York apartment," Bill explained to him quite cheerfully. continued on page 27 By FREDDA DUDLEY BALLING HUSBAND Bill Colleran, a TV director, never knows when Lee will drop in for breakfast via jet from California or Europe.
