Broadway, the spiritual rewards were pretty shabby. They don’t hang a star on your dressing room door for ped¬ dling bathroom accessories. After her impulsive kitchen vow to give up commercials, Georgiann hit her stride. She even headed out to California for a movie about men from outer space, returning with a new, feminine slant on the differences between Hollywood and TV. Says Georgiann, “If you don’t look beauti¬ ful in the movies, you never will. The way you look is Hollywood’s first consideration. On TV no one really cares which is your best profile or what camera angle flatters you.” Kudos From SRL Georgi is strictly a TV-bred ac¬ tress. Her most rewarding role was in a drama called “The Storm” as a lonely actress returning from New York who on the fly marries an ostensibly charming, but actually de¬ mented young man. The accent was strictly on terror, with the frightened wife gradually learning of her hus¬ band’s psychotic bent. The Saturday Review of Literature called her per¬ formance one acted “with rare sen¬ sitivity and range” and went on to throw kudos in the direction of the cast for making a good show out of a pedestrian script. Her Role Is Expanding As Marge on Mr. Peepers, Georgi¬ ann, who’s not married, qualifies splendidly as the kind of young, perky wife most husbands would like. Her role is gradually being fattened and the writers, avjare of her acting ability, are furnishing lines that won’t let Marge “fade into the wallpaper.” To keep things rolling on Peepers, the scripters have even arranged for Marge to have a baby. An easy way to kid Georgiann would be to suggest she do a com¬ mercial. Then just sit back and watch her fade away into the wallpaper. 17
