NEW YORK.
~ VERY night Vera Zorina, with
l. the long white wings of an
angel streaming from beneath
IL her golden curls, descends to
the earthly stage of a broadway theater
which is the latest interlude in her
81 years of both life and footloose
trouping.
Her heavenly wings are appropri-
ately symbolic of her frequent travels,
but hardly in the spirit of the little
white lies that have been utilized in
speeding her career as ballerina, stage
and screen star from Oslo to Venice
to London to Hollywood to Broadway
and soon to Hollywood again.
In her own words, which-to warn
you-will be amplified and explained,
she isn't Russian as so many people
think she is because she has Russian
name which isn't her own name be-
cause she is really Brigitta Hartwig
who is Norwegian who was born in
Germany and not in Kristiansund,
Norway, as he says she was when most
people ask her"
