HOLLYWOOD IS WHERE YOU FIND IT
She was playing the first wife of Richard Wagner in Munich in the film Magic Fire. Republic Films of Hollywood were spending a million dollars on glorifying the life of the German composer in "gorgeous Trucolor" and in authentic locales with authentic names like Neuschwanstein.
Afterwards, Miss de Carlo went to Egypt to play the wife of Moses in The Ten Commandments.
But off-screen, whether in the Bavarian Alps, on Mount Sinai or in Beverly Hills, Miss de Carlo was at the stage of being married to nobody. This inexplicable state of affairs had aroused the keen interest of Munich, a normally unexciting town where there are more double chins, paunches and brief-cases per head of the population than anywhere else I have been.
Miss de Carlo's spinster state had puzzled Munich because she appeared to be admirably qualified for marriage.
She is a hard-headed business girl who always exacts her full living expenses ("I get the same as Gregory Peck") from the most tight-fisted employers, even if it means sending her aunt to collect the cash. She hates extravagance and expensive hotels. When she has to pay a big hotel bill she really suffers; and she won't do it before lunch — it might spoil her appetite.
For the right man she might be willing to give up her film career ; she has romantic dreams of opening up a petrol station out West, which she would develop into a restaurant, then into a motel, then into a Yvonne de Carlo town.
And dreams of marriage?
"I might get married just any time," she confided, "but I can't think of anyone I could marry just now." (Since our conversation she thought of someone and married him.) If Miss de Carlo was unable to think of a suitable candidate, Munich was not so reticent. E 65
