w came TO work at Columbia
for Knock on Any Door," in
which he shot to stardom, he
said II never knew temper
amental player to get anywhere.
You don't have to worry about
my getting that way" Perhaps
the reason is that he was born
in Hollywood, and that both his
parents are actors. In New York
to help publicize his new pic
ture, the sensational "All the
Kings Men," Derek wanted to
see the city, but got very little
opportunity. Columbia press
agents booked him so solidly for
photo layouts and interviews, as
well as for appearances on the
radio, that he never really had
any time for sightseeing.
