Wyler we'll OF on . career Of d.

back with "Dodsworth" and followed
it in the ensuing years with such
things as Dead End" "Jezebel,
"Wuthering Heights" The Letter
and The Little Foxes"
II the list gives you the idea that
Wyler feels the same way about
stories that Bette Davis does, you
are perfectly right.
Life is more like that, he believes,
than 1t Is like the pure sweetness
OF most movies.
He proves it not merely to the
satisfaction OF his bosses, but to q

again by having baby. Life is too

find myself being talked about. One
day you are a normal human being
with your friends, the next day they
are afraid to speak to you because
you are somebody else Fans can be
more loyal than some Of your

I've never been social In the fllm

in. I don't need people, never
did. My mother brought me up to

that she was due for a fitting-and

meanwhile I was getting an earful
about the problem child on the

find her modelling In the most dis
interested way Edith Heads cos
tunes for her picture. When she
finally finished. we went down the
steps In a little procession, led by
the most Indifferent person I have
ever encountered in Hollywood. Her
bicycle was waiting at the curb and
she hoped on it-but not before I
hoped on her protesting when she
said:
I'm riding to my dressing room.
You can meet me there"
II have followed you all over this
lot, Miss Lake" said I. "and I'm
a little weary of it. Apparently you
don't wish to be bothered with an

But by this time my curiosity was
UP as we'll as by dander-I was
determined to see it through. 1t was
worth the chase Veronica Lake

freckled face with eyes 50 tiny they

stringy blond hair that got its
fame solely from the fact that it

voice has nom Of the husky quality

sible for the screen. She has q

But there is dynamite under that
quiet exterior. They named her
the Blond Bombshell because Of
her sex appeal. They should have
tagged her Dangerous - Handle

In her Il dont-give-a-damn" and

possible for him to accept place as

Wyler decided the chance for ad-

for he had been prop man only

saw him as likely fellow for the

their production as a mere chore
