What Is All This About An Eccentric,
 Unmanageable Doris Dudley?
New Movie Actress Protests She's
 Quite DOcile

NEA Service Stan Correspondent
 Hollywood, Aug i0-Doris Dudley says that Isn't true at oil about her being tempOrmOntal or eccentric or "Hoilywood," Indeed, she can't i'm. agine how tho report got around.
 The minute the announcement was made that Miss Dudley was coming Go Hollywood from Broad. way Co appear in Portrait of e Rebel" with Katherine Hepburn, people began predicting that there would Do some now and Bpectac- ular flrewofks in tAikietoWn. And scarcely had she arrived than gos- sip began to 90 around that the actress was hep to oil the Hepburn tricks: that she was inaccessible, dodged cameras, hlghshatted every. one and was spending her time dashlng around in on open Rolls. Royce while wearing Q tatterOd pair of overall.
 Fact h, says tho lD.year.old daughter of c New York newspaper. man she hasn't been inside Q Rolls. Royce and she iS trying to be gra. Cious to everybody.
 "And I don't want to Do lIkened to Miss Hepburn" she protests. "Of course, I admire her enormously, But such comparisons are likely to Do fatal to any young actress. If she can't Do just an individual, she might as well quit"
 Short Lived Romance
 Back in New York, of course, Miss Dudley did have . somewhat spec. tacular record of impulSivenesS. Be- gan by getting married when she was i4. Her father, when ho heard about 1t, said it wAB oil right, But the marriage was anulled. She hos . two.yearsold son, Theodore Kur- rus, Jr.
