ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS God
dard's story is a Cinderella story.
She came to Hollywood with
scant formal education and little
dramatic training yet she has
achieved not only fame and for
tune but acquired an education
from world travel and associa-
ton with artists and intellect
uals
Il enjoy studying and learning
things" Paulette told me last
week as we slipped iced coffee in
the Hollywood home she bought
for her mother. This house once
belonged to an artist and in the
skylighted living room were hung
many pictures from Miss God
dard'S collection including such
modern masters as Cezanne and
Modigliani.
"I love to travel" Miss God
dard confided. ''It keeps me from
having set habits. And this is
good because the PSYCHOLOGISTS
today discourage people from de-
pending too much on fixed en-
vironment-it creates a sense of
insecurity when it is disturbed"
Paulette was wearing yellow
satin bull-f1ghter pants, a low cut
blouse and a beautiful set of
yellow and blue sapphires. She
was wearing her red hair should
er length and asked if she con-
templated cutting it.
81 don't follow fashion at ALL"
she said, explaining that she
liked to wear her hair long. "And
it doesn't interest me to spend
as much time on my clothes as
it would take to be chic. Going
to collections and having fittings
is full time job.
Il travel constantly and pre-
fer clothes with classic line
clothes which are good season
after season. Most of the time I
live out of two suit cases, so I
have to choose my clothes with
this in mind
AS we sat there talking, Paul
cite looked SO youthful that it
was hard to believe her career
had started so many years ago.
"Will you tell me your secret for
staying young?" I said.
Being ageless," Paulette ex-
planned, comes from having
interests. 1t comes from having
an awareness of what is going
on around you. And" she added,
from exercise.
Il manage to exercise every
day. I don't feel well if I don't.
I go to gymnasium and get a
workout and massage every day
or evening. And when I am
travelling I do Set-ups every
morning"
I wanted to know Miss Cod
dard'S top beauty secret.
Paulette remarked that she
hated questions that demanded
a direct answer. II prefer to be
oblique," she said.
But she puffed her cigarette
thoughtfully before she said,
Eating and breathing correctly
is the secret. Breath refuels
you. It sets up your whole
system and it makes you relax.
You can accomplish incredible
things with breath and diet"
Paulette continued. You can
rebuild your body or destroy it
with food. I know you can! We
are what We eat. In as short
time as three months I have seen
wonderful changes in skin, hair
and nails brought about by bal
anced diet.
Every one doesn't have to eat
the same to feel well, but it is
important to discover what works
the best with you. I eat for
energy. I have no set menus
but I like rare steak, fresh vege-
tables, fruit and cheese. i
Il don't like to have to skip
meals. When I was living in
New York often we didn't have
time for a dinner before a big
opening. So I usually had Tar
tar steak (raw hamburger
brought into my dressing room
because I couldn't stand to be
hungry"
You'd be out of luck if you'd
ever have to reduce" I COM
mented.
That's a different matter"
Paulette exclaimed. IF I get a
hunger signal then, relax and
enjoy it. I know it's the time
my system will dig. into extra
fat for energy and burn it up"
That's a very helpful atti-
