performance in THE Diary of
Anne Frank" She had to
gain somthing like % pounds,
then lose it while making the
movie. It's easier to gain than
lose. Shelley was exactly
right in her Interpretation of
the role-complaining, sus-
picious, greedy, miserable.
Yet somehow sympathetic.
Her clothes in that picture,
as in all I've seen her in,
were atrocious.
Prefer New York
IF someone would give me
a part where I could wear
beautiful clothes, I'd pay
them" Shelley laughed. But
in real life, she dresses very
snappily, and has been for the
past few years. In her early
years in Hollywood, Shelley'S
style of dressing certainly
wasn't stylish.
Tony and prefer to live
in New York" said Shelley.
1--WE can work in the movies
there. I did all the odds
Against Tomorrow with Har-
ry Belafonte and Robert Ryan
in New York. I'm supposed to
do a play on Broadway in
January, "A Piece of Blue
Sky But now Tony and I are
both working in Hollywood,
and we plan to spend Christ
mas here. The ideal way Of
life for us would be to make
movies in Hollywood from
June to October, then do other
things in New York. No, not
television, not much of it.
They don't go to see you on
the screen in the theaters if
they can see you for nothing.
I had an idea for a series,
The Feet of An Angel about
a social worker. I had seven

cided against it."

Shelley Winters, adding
quickly, "Yes I am, but I've
about reached the point

the change in Shelley and her
movie took second place in
our conversation. I have
known. Shelley since she
played a small part, the

didn't like her very much

Who Is Constantine?
He's on Idol in France
By JAMES BACON
Press Stan Writer

HOLLYWOOD. - Eddie
Constantine is one of the
idols of the French movies.
He's often called the Hum
phrey Bogart of France.
But a dozen years ago, Los
Angeles-born Constantine was
getting nowhere in Ameri-
can films.
It used to sing in the
chorus of movies like Born
to Dance with Eleanor Pow
ell" he recalls.
He didn't go to the Brown
Derby in those days; he
couldn't afford even to park
his car in its lot. And that's
what made an incident the
other day so memorable for
him.
Back in this country for a
televiSlon appearance, he was
sitting in a booth in the IA
nous Hollywood restaurant
when he was PACED over the
loudspeaker. Telephone for
Mr.. Eddie Constantine"
A waiter brought the tele-
phone to his table. It was
Gene Kelly inviting him to
a party.
A Real Thrill
you can't imagine what
, a tremendous thrill this is"
he told Kelly over the phone.
, Being PACED in the Brown
: Derby by Gene Kelly"
He added later to his
companion: "And I am ac-
tually here, drinking creme
de menthe and soda"
This led up to his state
ment that he is one of the
main reasons why you can
now buy whisky in French
biStroS.
He says when he first went
to Paris in 1947, it was almost
impossible to get hard whis-
ky except near hotels that
catered to American and
British tourists.
Now" he says, cts in
nearly every biStro. A big
whisky distributor said pub
licly that I am mostly re-
responsible-then sent me
one case free.
Il can't appear in public
over there without drinking
whisky. Its my trademark

Career" in which Miss Jones
played a protracted, perfectly
shaped paroxym Of frustra-
ton.
An Academy Bet, Too
She is not only our personal
choice as best supporting
actress of 1859, she is also our
bet to win the Academy Award
for which she has been q
candidate in each Of her pic
lures.
Perhaps because it is easier
to choose best supporting per-
formers, this corners mind is
also made up on the male de-
serving Of this distinction.
The choice is Fred Astaire. No
man ever found himself
farther from his normal pro-
fesSional groove than he as
the life-weary atomic scien-
tist in "On the Beach,"
An element of AStaire's i'm
pressiveness in the Stanley
Kramer production naturally
is its surprise. Not necessarily
the surprise that AStaire does
it so well but that he does it
at all, which doubles its effect
as one Of the years inspired
pieces of casting as well as
acting.
The real stumper for the
mind that starts flicking
through a year Of acting for
best performance is in the
category of best male star.
This tentative process leads
to the suggestion that the
years most memorable act
ing Of this type was in the
comedy area-and comedy is
not the sort of thing that is
readily voted as prize-worthy.
Those Comic Candidates
Nevertheless, what is one
to do about Jack Lemmon's
riotous mining in that fe-
male impersonater role he
played in "Some Like It
Hot?" Or Cary Grants por-
trait of the Madison avenue
advertising grandeL in North
by Northwest" If the year
produced any dramatic per-
formance to equal either Of
these, where was it?
Well, it might have. There
was by that titan among
actors who who has yet to
win a major garland, chap
name of Orson Welles. Or
son, a missile-type actor who
has never yet found a sturdy
enough launching pad, may
have done so in 1859. This
could be his Clarence Darrow
impersonation in "Compul-
sion," a picture he stole with
the thoroughness of Mr..
Darrow's own performance in
the actual Leopold-Loeb
trial.
So the mind runs when it
comes to the summing up
time every year on the sub
jects of movies and perform
ances. Fortunately, a couple
Of weeks remain before the
mind needs to be made up.

don't like competing with hundreds of hurrying

At Usual Speed

Thick fog blanketed the
Washington area early today
but soon gave way to sunshine
and mild temperatures.
The fog, covering coastal
areas from North Carolina to
New York, slowed surface traffic
and caused slight disruption of
plane movements. National
Airport remained in operation,
however.
At s am, National described
the weather as "a 100-foot CELL
ing and an eighth of a mile
visibility"
Fortunately, the fog settled
down over the area at a time
when both surface and air
traffic are at a minimum.
Some arrivals were delayed
and airliners sent into holding
patterns, but virtually all de-
partureS were approximately on
schedule, the airport said.
Elsewhere the fog hampered
plane operations. No planes
left Idlewild in New York for
more than an hour and oper-
atoms at LaGuardia were shut
down two hours.
The forecast for tonight was
cloudy with q chance of a little
rain; fair and cooler tomorrow.
