Murphy said: "On you, glamour
doesn't look good"
Susan started her career look
ing just like the girl who should
have lived next door. A talent scout
spotted her one day in a Hollywood
high school. No one can quite figure
out why. She had none of the usual
attributes: she liked to wear her brown
hair in pigtails, had wide gray eyes,
a quiet, non-exotic face.
She got a minor sort OF contract
and nothing exciting ever happened
with that either until M-G-M's boss
rode in the same elevator with her one
day. When he asked afterwards who
she was, everybody fell on his face
finding out. That's how she got her

saw her again right after "Assiqh-
ment in Brittany" She was definitely
star material but she still hadn't both
cred to learn how to act like an
actress. People who work with her say
she's little disconcerting on the set
- she's so quiet. Susan is sincere,
serious, keeps away from the gossip
column, night-club routine.
PastsrnaIs's Little Joke
SHE is also the kind of girl about
whom you can tell story like this
with a straight face: Joseph Faster
max, producer of Song of Russia"
ran into her one day at the studio.
Kidding, he said an important new
part was coming up and if she wanted
it, she'd better make the right kind
of prayer. 1t wasn't very good joke
- the part seemed slated for either
Garbo or Lamar. But a few weeks
later Pasternak called Susan in, told
her she had the role. The producer
asked her why she didn't seem sur
prised. She answered simply: II took
your advice and it worked"
But who tells that sort of story
about a Hollywood celebrity? That's
why Susan Peters is hard to write
about. She's swell gal and has tai
ent. But what can she do with that
except make a million dollars and be
happy? JERRY MASON
