all of a sudden, Frances was fired. “Why,” she recently asked former M-G-M casting director Billy Grady now with CBS, “did they throw me out of there after all those pictures?” “Because,” Grady replied, “nobody around there really thought you cared one way or another.” She didn’t, as a matter of fact. “I just thought every part I got was real peachy keen,” she says, “and what a lucky break and isn’t this fun. Apparently they didn’t want any of the fun-loving Rovers over there.” After a few free-lance pictures, the fun-loving Miss Rafferty chucked it all out the window in 1948 to marry Tom Baker, an aircraft executive late¬ ly doubling as a TV writer, and stayed home for four years. “But in 1952,” she remembers, “Tom decided I should go back to work. He told me I was getting dull, that all I’could talk about was children (Kevin, now 5, and Bridget, 3) and that I was a lousy cook anyway. “Just like that,” she says, “I was up to my neck in 37 different TV film shows.” Several got nowhere. But one, December Bride, proved one of last season’s few. successful new situation comedies. It’s doing just fine—and so is Frances.
