Gently transformed themselves over
night into sophisticated vixens-
and she thinks the same could and
should be done for her!
I'm so tired of being called a
sweet girl I could scream" said
Olivia between camera setups for
"Rafhes," In which she is playing
opposite David Niven. ut all started
four years ago, in my first picture,
Anthony Adverse They made me
sweet, spineless, shrinking wall
f1ower-and today I'm still at it.
Il guess that picture typed me.
Anyway, I've never had a chance
to do the kind of parts I'd like. I
think Ann Sothern played the game
exactly right. She got fed up on
being the sweet helpless thing and
decided to sit back and wait until
the right part came along. It took
her l8 months of idleness to find
it-but look at her now. At the top
of the heap!"
Olivia says there's nothing of
spur-of -the-moment nature about
her decision.
Too many people in this country
and especially in Hollywood-as-
sociate sweet young ladies' with
dumbness," she went on, land
think 1t is up to all actresses in that
classification to rise and put stop
to it,"
How to 60 about getting untyped?
Olivia hasn't quite made up her
mind what procedure she'll adopt.
But she is studying various ways
and means.
L could try some form of tenn
perament." she said, and be mean
to subordinates. In time this would
cause people to think I am an
artistic, because only artistes do
things like that. But I'm afraid
my conscience would bother me. It's
quite a problem I'll have to think
it over seriously"
Olivia merely reflects the opinions
and feelings of many Hollywood
leading ladies who have found them
selves stymied in similar situa-
tlon-condemned because of their
prettiness and the normal. COM
pletely sane lives they lead off the
screen.
