HOLLYWOOD. -Though Katy
Jurado made 80 films in Mex
leo. it wasn't until she was cho-
sen for High Noon" and won
an Academy award nomination
that she become well-known In
this country.
They told me what to say and
I said it," Katy told me at lunch
in Beverly Hills recently. But
! didn't know what it meant"
But after working four hours
a day for four months she is
quite at home with our language
and is most enthusiastic about
the women in the United States.
Age Differences
"They don't grow old-it is
wonderful! In Mexico you have
to dress to the age which is on
your birth certificate but here
you dress to the age which is
inside of you," she explained.
Katy enjoys the independence
women have here. I'm Mexico q
girl cannot go out at night with
out an escort" she said. "She
has to wait until a man invites
her" :
Miss Jurado n,arvelled at the
efficiency Of the American
housewife.
II go to q party and see some
one who looks as if she spent all
day dressing herself and I find
out that she takes care of her
own house and children" Katy
said. I'm Mexico even with serv-
ants the women are not this
attractive"
Katy had ordered chicken en-
chiladas which she seasoned
with tabasco sauce. sS'I like
everything hot" she explained,
and fattening. The Latin man
does not like girls as thin as they
do in the United States and
am glad. I have big bones and
they look best with meat on
them. But when I make a pic
ture I have to be thinner so be-
fore start to work I 60 on q
diet"
I asked her to tell me more
about this.
Green Vegetables
81 give up bread and butter,
anything made with corn meal, |
pork and highballs," she told me.
And then I eat green vege-
tables and grilled beef until I |
lose"
Katy's lashes are long and |
thick as artificial ones.
Mexican women feel that eyes
are the most important feature
and as soon as they have baby
daughter they start to work on
her lashes. You will see them
brush their finger tips with a
drop of oil from the castor bean
and stroke the baby's lashes. If |
you start using oil as child |
your lashes can't help but grow
long and thick.
But the Indians believe that
you can make lashes grow at
any age by cutting off the tips |
at the time Of q new moon and
brushing them regularly with
castor oil.
ITO me the eyebrow pencil is
every bit as important as the
lipstick," Katy confided. "And |
I think the women in this coun-
try should use more mascara"
l wanted to know how she
applied her mascara. i
First of all I use good, black |
color" Katy said. Then when
you put the mascara on, you
should be sure that the lashes
do not stick together. The best
way to do this is to apply little
at a time with a damp brush.
Let each layer dry completely
before adding another layer. Add |
as many layers as you like, but
be sure with each application
that the lashes stay apart"
Tell me more about your
ideas, on makeup" I said.
Night and Doy
Makeup should be changed |
for the person you are with,
for the time of day and for the
light you are in," Katy told me. |
When I have date at night I |
try to find out where we are
going because If he takes me to
a dark night club will use q
different makeup than if we
were going to ball game.
"And different men feel diff
ferently about makeup" she
