She'd Give Up a Film Career
Maureen O'Hara's Real Ambition Is to
Sing Opera at the Metropolitan
By SheiIoh Grohom

wonderful childhood in Dublin" All
of Maureen's brothers and sisters,
with the exception of one sister
who is a nun, have acting ambitions.
Sisters Florence and Margo recent
ly were in Hollywood testing and
playing small parts. Her two broth
ers have worked with the famous
Abbey Players in Dublin. They'll be
heading for Hollywood one of these
days if they are as talented and
handsome as Maureen says they are.
Maureen and I invariably get
around to discussing the problems
of raising children. She believes in
being strict. Bronwyn used to be
difficult with her food, but not
now. Because I'd make her sit
at the table until she had finished
every scrap on her plate says her
mother. The result, f1guratively
speaking, has been terrific. Bron-
wyn is the chubbiest and the health
lest youngster I think I've ever seen.
And she's only had one cold in
her life and one sickness-an at
tack of Group.
Makes Own Clothes.
Six years ago Maureen married
Will Price. They met when he was
dialogue director on Maureen's
"Hunchback" picture. He was her
first and last beau in Hollywood.
They were married six years ago in
Wills home town in Mississippi,
where his father is a lawyer. His
grandfather, a judge, is 95 and still
going strong. But Maureen had a
MISREPRESENTATION with an
even better record. He lived to be
1903!
Two years ago Maureen and Will
bought an attractive farmhouse on
top of one of the canyons in Bel
Air. It's still in the process of being
furnished because Maureen hates to
waste money and she shops care
fully and methodically, making
most of her own clothes and all the
dresses worn by her daughter.
She's the least like any of the
feminine HlOVlc SldIS Ill IlOlly WOON.
It's interesting to compare the way
Maria Montez walks into a party
and the way Maureen does. Maria
always comes late when every one
else has arrived. She stands dra-
matically at the entrance to the
room, until every one must have
seen her. Then she hutters toward
her hostess shrieking, "Darling!"
Loves to Eat.
With Mauren, you don't know she's
there until she's been at the party
for at least half an hour. But when
you do see her, you see plenty. Be-
cause Maureen has very beautiful
shoulders, etc. And she favors strap
less evening gowns. She also has a
passion for wearing feathers and
furbelows in her hair, which she
also likes to dress in very extreme
style. I believe Maureen was the
first Hollywood personality to scrape
her hair clear off her forehead into
an Indian top knot.
And, in conclusion, the bane OF
Miss O'Hara's life is her very beau

she never conquered that dread Of
facing the camera. Upon her retire.
ment four years ago she told init
mates that her Goth Century Fox
contract would probably be voided.
Even her Sunday afternoon radio
broadcasts leave her in . nervous
state.
Getting back to Miss Fleming, she
was good enough to land q contract
with David O. Selznick without the
fornlality of a. film test-and Selz-
nick is famous for his selectivity so
far as hiring actors is concerned.
He interviewed her in the morning
and asked Goth Century-Fox, where
she had been under contract for six
months without a part, to send over
her test.
She Worked Hard.
That noon she sat, by chance, at
the table next to the producers.
Selznick studied her at close range
for an hour, and then said to forget
about the test and to bring out the
contract papers.
After breaking the ice with the
role of the love- obsessed mental pa
tientsin "Spellbound," Rhonda set
heart and mind to making up for
her earlier indifference to a career.
She worked hard at the job Of be-
coming a star, doing abilene Town"
with Randolph Scott, playing
George Brent's secretary in "The
Spiral Staircase" and filling the
feminine lead in Adventure Island"
When her big chance came and
she was tested for the plum role
opposite Crosby in "A Connecticut
Yankee" the determined redhead
faced as nerve-racking an ordeal
as any young actress has had to
undergo. She was up against tough
competition from nine other charm
ing and talented aspirants, and in
addition to doing singing and dia-
logue tests had to match ad Ibis
with Crosby himself to demonstrate
her natural personality in an unre-
hearsed appearance before the lens.
Rhonda was sailing along in the
clouds until the day she had to
record her first song for the picture,
the new tune, when Is Some
time?" She woke up on the crucial
morning with a head cold and de-
cided that her luck had changed.
She went through the song with
fear and trembling.
But I guess that cold was a
blessing in disguise" she says, "for
it gave an added huskiness to my
voice which the music department
liked"
While applying herself to making

by Richard Aldrich and Richard

The troupe, on board the steam

scrubbed, should have arrived in
New York by the time 1t Is being
read. No theater has been an
nounced so far, but the Messrs.
Aldrich and Myers have been as
sured the Gate gang will not be
homeless, theatrically at least. The
Dublin players, founded by Mac
Liammoir and Edwards in 1928,
have presented some $50 plays dur
ing a double decade of existence,
running an elastic Gaelic gamut
from Shakespeare, Shaw and Wilde
to the newest Irish playwrights.
Among players of popular note who
have trod the Gates boards are
James Mason, Orson Welles, Paul

Peggy Cummins. Geraldine F1tz-
gerald and Sara Allgood.
