ROME, Mar. % (P).-A sleepy
Anna Magnani was reused from
bed this morning to be told she
had won Hollywood's coveted
Oscar as the best actress of 1855.
"Are you kidding?" the tenn
pestuous Latin queried in a low.
cold voice.
Only after being shown the
news dispatch from America did
she break forth with the well
known Magnani emotion.

with no makeup on, the 46-year-
old actress joyfully pressed her
face against big poster on her
living room wall. 1t showed her
in her prizewinning role, that Of
the love-torn widow in The
Rose Tattoo"
She had told her friends she
was leaving town so that she
would not be disturbed by tele-
phone calls if she won. But this
morning a newsman tried her
private unlisted number and was
answered by sleepy voice with
a strong Roman accent: "Sig-
nora Magnani speaking"
Told about the award. she re-
piled: Are you kidding? If you
are. inform you that it is in
extremely bad taste and I will
get up right away to kill you
wherever you are.
Come over and bring me the
story"
Miss Magnani said she plans
to- return to the United States
next fall for another Paramount
picture but added she will not
move to America permanently.
