She even posed for the War Assets

then, and she, seemed very sweet
and young. But that was deceptive
because she had a will of her own
even then.
She's Still in Battle.
'I'm having beauty Of a battle
now," she tells me. "It isn't for me:
it's for my agent, Kurt Frings." For
q long time Olivia employed the
famous agents, Berg and Allenberg,
to represent her, but she broke with
them-"when found they had .
financial interest in Ivy which they

1T didn't like the contract they
made for me at Paramount" Olivia
continues. Kurt got me twice as
much for The Snake Pit at Goth
Century-Fox. The price was 5000
0o0.. But she can't touch or spend
it until her agent situation Is
Strengthened out.
Then there was Olivia's epic bat
tie with Warmers. 1t kept her of
the screen for two years, but with
victory it set precedent for the
length of all contracts in Hollywood.
1t shattered her health, too, and for
while she was a very sick girl.
But since my marriage. I've been

was an "old maid" of 80 when she
married Writer Marcus Goodrich,
who had been married four or Ave

Mrs. Goodrich. r4 :
Olivias romances always have
been very tense. For a while she
was madly enamored of Millionaire
Jock Whitney. Then it was Jimmy
Stewart. then John Huston, then
she almost married Maj. Joseph Nc
Keon. But when she was introduced
to Goodrich in New York by Drama
Coach Phyllis Laughton-withw whom
Olivia is now on nonspeaking terms
the search for the perfect hus-
band was over.

Ronnie missed it. He really is
tickled to death with 1t.
He Likes Solitude.
Colman. now 81, is a meticulous
man. This hasn't anything to dc
with dignity. He chooses his roles
with great care, at the rate of about
one year. He works hard on them,
and then drops back into the
placid stream of his inconspicuous
personal life.
Perhaps this willingness to recede
from public view longer inspired his
reputation for formality. He looked
thoughtful, and bit pained
Never, he said, has he been stand

couple next door.
The Bennys and the Colmans
aren't actually next-door neighbors.
They do, however, live around the
corner from one another
Ronnie likes the radio. and he
thinks it is an excellent training
ground for young players. I'm many
ways" he said, radio has replaced
the stock company"
There is nothing stiff about Col
mans reaction to the honor and ac-
claim earned by his award winning
performance in "A Double Life. y
He's frankly elated. The part was
tough. Colman confesses that he
hesitated long time before accept
ing it. He believes any actor of
experience would have hesitated.
In "A Double Life" he is devious
and complex personality. Three
personalities, in fact: A charming
and normal actor, then a masterful
interpreter of Shakespeare, as
Othello, and finally a deranged thes-
plan with murder in his eye.
Il wasn't at all sure I could do
it," he said.
The Workers Vote Aye.
In exploring Colman I didn't con-
fine my attention to him alone. His
fellow actors. and the carpenters,
too, for that matter, like him. He's
all business on the set but always
smooth, easy.
One crew member said: Anybody
who has talked to Colman for half
an hour knows he isn't a stick.
After an hour you're pals. I've seen
him spend all kinds of time coach
ing young players who asked his
advice He's quite guy"
George Cukor, who directed "A
Double Life says of Ronnie: His
chief assets are intelligence, care
and sincerity. He has rare gift
for pantomime. He acts for the
camera, not to it.
Colman has been a star longer
than any other actor in Hollywood
since The White Sister" in 1922.
For consistency, his popularity has
remained unexcelled since the days
of silent films. His exceptional voice
and diction not only bridged the
chasm between silents and talkies
but materially advanced his career.
Ronnie regards free-lancing as
necessary for him now. so that he
can pick his parts. After ALL" he
pointed out. I'm not the dashing
young leading man any longer
