Tastes Seem To Fit
I said in the last chapter
that our tastes, even our moods,
seem to fit. That was evident
even in the beginning. In Hol-
lywood, where I met her, we
often went out together (as
often as I could spare time
from our picture work., and al
most invariably we wanted to
go to the same places for
lunch, for dinner. or for recrea-
tion. When I wanted to talk,
I found her an interesting con-
versationalist; when I wanted
to be quiet. I found her pres
ence soothing. In short, she
was the perfect companion for
me. and to me that was impor-
tant.
Once, when I had finished
work on the picture for the
day, we were invited TO beach
party at Malibu. I did not feel
particularly like going. The
last scene which we shot had
not gone as we'll as I would
have liked. and I was a bit
moody, which is rare for me.
But on this occasion I was Fin
the dumps" I did not want to
go on a party. I did not want
to talk to people. And I didn't
want to be pleasant. 1 wanted
to be alone.
When I 'phoned Fay to say
I wasn't going. she readily
agreed that if I didn't feel like
going, I shouldn't. She was
very pleasant; her voice was
so soothing to my nerves, that
even as we talked 1 changed
my mind, and decided to go,
just to be with her. BY the
time we reached Malibu, was
in a merry mood again, and
had a fine time.
News to Rudy
This incident was a revela-
ton to me, for never before had
, known a person, except my
mother. who had this soothing
effect on me when I was in
such a mood. Frankly, I don't
often get into such moods. In
my busy life, I have not had
time to indulge in this luxury.
But now and then they come
to me, as to everyone else. So,
I was happy to find in Fay
that restful quality which could
calm an inner turbulence.
Between us there was a COM
munity of spirit, and her moods
seemed responsive to mine.
When the occasion arises, she
can be just as vivacious, just
as inspiring, just as fiery, as
she can be soothing. 1t is evi-
dent that she knows how Ito
handle me"-not that I require
much handling, for I think I
am a reasonable creature, but
naturally there are times when
the stress and strain Of work
