We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.
Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.
Mr. and Mrs. Tom Lewis were in business, Loretta as a TV star, Lewis as a TV film pro¬ ducer. Being both glamorous and an actress has been Loretta’s business since she was 11 and landed a role originally intended for her older sister, Polly Ann. Two years later she played her first grown-up role, with Colleen Moore in Naughty But Nice, and it was Colleen who changed the youngster’s name from Gretchen to Loretta. Endowed with a natural beauty rare even in Hol¬ lywood, and guided by a mother, for whom someone should strike a medal for native intelligence and common sense, she took to stardom 'like a bird taking wing. No Family Publicity Loretta and Lewis were married in 1940 and now have three chil¬ dren—Judy, Christopher and Peter. It is a cardinal rule in the Lewis family that the children’s pictures never be taken for publication. Not, at any rate, until they ac¬ complish something other than be¬ ing the children of a star. The Lewises currently keep two homes, one a large beach house in Santa Monica, the other a country place in Ojai, Cal., adjacent to the Ojai Valley Inn, which they own as an investment. The children stay at the beach house and go to school during the week, with the entire family taking off for Ojai late Friday after the final shooting for the week. Now that she’s in television for keeps, Loretta is giving little or no thought to any motion pictures in the immediate future. “Right now,” she says firmly, “I’m a television girl and I love every hectic min¬ ute of it. If the public gets tired of seeing me week after week, even in a different role, that’s some¬ thing I’ll worry about when the time comes. And if it does come, I’ll have had a lot of fun while it lasted.” Loretta, at party that launched new career, greets Faye Emerson, then mingles with other guests.
