Star Tonight is the magic carpet that whisks aspiring young actors to star¬ dom—but only for one night. The program, a series of half-hour live dramas on ABC, gives these hopefuls their first star billing, in plays writ¬ ten especially for them or chosen to fit their talents. Anne Edwards, for example, got her chance one Thursday night in Rod Serling’s “Strength of Steel,” in which she played a young Army widow. Anne had been spotted originally by Helen Hayes while a University of North Carolina drama student. From campus. Miss Edwards became an un¬ derstudy in the Chicago company of “The Moon Is Blue”—and never got on the stage. She then became a stand-in for Miss Hayes—and never appeared before an audience. Finally, for a year she tested stimts for Beat The Clock —and didn’t get on the air. Then came Star Tonight. She awaits cue to face cameras... ... in scene with Frederic Tozere. Director Alan Anderson coaches her. Anne enters her dressing^ room, which was marked that night by magic star.
