THE SEVEN DEADLY SINS OF HOLLYWOOD
Barry, when Miss Jarmyn turned up, too. Also for coffee.
Miss Jarmyn's story to the police of what happened then was as follows: "Susan flew into a rage. 'Who's this woman?' she asked. 'Get her out of here.' She [Miss Hayward] was like a wild woman and hit me over the head with a wooden hairbrush. She bit my thumb and tore buttons from my blouse. She knocked over a table, sending broken glass all over the room."
Miss Jarmyn asked the deputy city attorney for an "assault and battery" complaint to be made against Miss Hayward.
When Miss Hayward was traced to her attorney's house she said: "This young woman walked into the house without ringing about noon and made insulting remarks. I went for her. I don't recall it, but it is entirely possible that I picked up a hairbrush during the fight. I lost my temper and I'm sorry, but I'm sure she isn't hurt."
In a statement from Miss Hayward's studio the incident was described as "a tempest in a very small teapot". A few days later Miss Jarmyn said she would not seek a prosecution against Miss Hayward. She had changed her mind.
Naturally, I knew all about this (and Miss Hayward knew that I knew) when we met.
I said: "There have been some unfortunate stories about you in the papers lately."
She agreed they had been unfortunate.
"If you are a film star," she said, "the papers pick up everything you do. One day I shall tell the truth about those events. I'm writing a book, an autobiography. It helps me to understand myself. I've got to the age of eleven so far."
"'The Life and Loves of Susan Hayward'? Will you publish it while you are still in pictures?"
