HITTING THE HEADLINES There was the incident on April 26th, 1955, when she was found unconscious in her home suffering from an overdose of sleeping pills. Miss Hayward throws out only one clue. She says, " I'm a woman. Not an adding machine." But even if Miss Hayward is something of an adding machine, she has the very feminine failing of sometimes not adding up correctly. I do not know how the gentleman from the Motion Picture Producers Association of America feels about Miss Hayward. Perhaps he thinks she has let Hollywood down by figuring in a highly publicised divorce case. Perhaps he believes that her story will encourage the idea that film stars are not all normal, ordinary simple people. In which case, I have another reason for being thoroughly in favour of Miss Hayward. Because to me one of Hollywood's most irritating sins — though it is not one of the deadly ones — is telling the world that it is "just like any other small town". 49
