Leigh Snowden Is a girl who
got more out of a walk than
Gromyko.
The Russian. of course, is one
of the most famous mixers In
the history Of the United Ma

It was just a year ago that
Miss Snowden took her walk
and it's nice to report that it
carried her all the way to
stardom at Universal-Interna-
tional.
No one in town mad ever
heard Of Leigh until Jack
Benny asked her to go along
with his television show to San
Diego early in 1855. Benny
was appearing before 10000
sailors at the naval base there.
Being an astute Snowman,
he figured that you have to
give sailors more than Don
Wilson and Rochester so he
asked Leigh to go along. Her
only bit was a walk across
stage-nothing else.' There
was no rehearsal but Leigh
apparently didn't need one.
Stopped the Show
When she ankled in, the
whistles and wolf calls sounded
like VI Day. 1t stopped the
show and marked the first
time in Benny's career that a
walk-on had ever stolen a
scene from him.
II swear I don't know what
I did when I walked across
that stage" the onetime Gov
ington (Tenn.) choir singer
said. II just walked like I al
ways walked. Don't all girls
walk like that?"
The sailors whistles re-
sounded In most every Holly

She had to lose her southern
accent.
After a few months, she was
ready for her first part. 1t
was in "All That Heaven

1t was an incongruous role.
After scores of lessons that
rid her of the southern drawl,
she was cast as a sultry south

adaptation of Sinclair Lewis
short story, "A Letter From a

night on G.E. Theater,

Mr.. MUM, currently starring

Fred Goes production of a

on Broadway, "Counsellor-at-

film show which he prefers
not to remember.
The 61-year-old actor, who
is marking the 50th year of
a distinguished career, thinks
he might well have been hap
pier and better rewarded if he
had spent his years working
in some other profession.
His astute and witty wife,
Bella, refers to him as a "fruS-
