THE SEVEN DEADLY SINS OF HOLLYWOOD
accent or forming a cricket team. Though it seems almost improper to say this about English girls, they have done it on sex-appeal — which in most cases the English male had hardly noticed they possessed.
In Hollywood everyone was talking about "those beautiful English girls of yours". They are the vogue today: as dates, as actresses, as cover-girls, as party-goers. To drive an English Jaguar and have an English girl friend is considered the height of smartness.
America produces bigger, more streamlined and faster cars and girls, but they are not considered quite so fashionable.
Dana Wynter, who for many years was knocking around London unappreciated and unnoticed, is thought to be one of the big stars of tomorrow. I saw her receiving one of the innumerable awards constantly being handed out in Hollywood. She had poise, elegance and dark beauty that I would have thought almost impossible not to notice — even in England. She made Anita Ekberg, who was also collecting an award at the same time — I am not sure precisely for what — look flashy. To return to the car metaphor, Miss Ekberg looked like a Chevrolet convertible with all accessories. Miss Wynter looked like a Bentley.
Understandably, Hollywood raved about Dana — and it practically ranted about Joan Collins. London had scarcely raised its voice about either of them. It is not surprising, then, that they should prefer the warmer, more enthusiastic climate of California.
I remembered Miss Collins as a sort of coffee-bar Jezebel, in sweater and jeans, who liked to jive and to read about herself in fan magazines. She was married to an actor, Maxwell Reed, and they lived in a pseudoSpanish top-floor flat in Mayfair above a lot of offices.
