BY HAROLD HEFFERNAN.


/ That old bromide you can only
die once" was being shattered all
day long at Goth Century Fox
where Maureen O'Hara, for a scene
in Sentimental Journey" not only
died once but 10 times before she
was officially pronounced dead
for movie audiences six months
| hence.
Maureen reported at 9 am. on
stage IL for her synthetic bout with
the grim reaper, fully expecting
that by noon she would be over with
her death throes and ready to keep a
luncheon date with us in the sump-
tuous Cafe de Paris.
BY noon, however, she had yet to
attain anywhere near satisfactory
death take" and Walter Lang, the
director, said she had better grab a
quick and simple bite right there on
the sound stage. A hunk of choco-
late cream pie, he averred, certainly
would not be conducive to a beauty
ful young woman giving out with an
authentic death expression So
Maureen Cancelled the date, picked
a soggy-looking plate of salad in her
dressing room and remained ''in the
mood"
Death scenes are always fascinat-
| ing because it is something of q
tradition in FINLAND that the actor
or actress who puts over good one
! is always remembered when option
time rolls around Ask almost any
/ star in the business which scene is
most favored in his or her career
and it's cinch that it is one in
which the player did a job of pass
ing out of this world. Edmund
Goulding, most successful of direc-
tors where women are concerned,
once said: Every actress is a Little
Eva at heart"
But, getting back to Maureen's
passing. She finally effected her
exit at IL in the afternoon, just at
a time when Director Lang and all
the grips and technicians had be-
come convinced the scene would
hang over until next day.
4 Il y +
She dies in a very comfortable
looking chaise lounge in cozy bed
room setting. Her final dissolution
is supposed to come about through
a heart attack. It's all very star
tling. In the middle of a line OF
dialogue she begins gasping for air
stumbles to the couch, collapses ano
lays there silent-not even breath
ing! 1t has the effect of raising the
short hairs on the back of ones
, neck.
On each attempt the illusion /;
shattered by some one breaking the
spell with loud cry of "Cut!" Most.
