ner neaQ When she BTcctcU
me at the door of her apart
ment with a warm. natural
hello. I asked Carol later If
it had been difficult keeping
her feet on the ground.
II think it's stupid to be
impressed with yourself" she
replied. II can't abide affec-
tation in others. You see
these characters around town
who feel that they should act
differently because they've
made a name for themselves.
II think that when you are
in public life, you should be
disciplined and have q sense
of obligation to those who
have made you a star.
II always try to look my
best" Carol went on. ut
would depress me to be seen
looking sloppy. Many young
people go around in slacks as
If to say, Look how free I am.
I don't make a bid for atten-
ton. I don't care what peo-
pie think of me- But this is
q false front. You don't have
to prove your rebellion by an
offensive appearance. Prob
ably if they took pride in the
way they looked, their atti-
tude toward themselves and
toward life would be different
and they wouldn't feel so re-
bellious.
On Clothes
"It Is important to feel
right in your Clothes" Carol
continued. "I know during
the era Of the sack dress, I
tried on many but I didn't
buy a single one. Now
am interested in designing
lelothes." She showed me q
lame sheath that she was
embroidering with gold
beads.
when do you find time for
that?" I asked.
when I was sick" Carol
explained that she was out
Of the show due to extreme
exhaustion. That's my big
gest fault. I try to take on
too much. I have always
been very healthy and ]
made the mistake of think
ing I was indestructable.
Il love learning things,
and one has to be versatile
in show business today, so
I had classes in dancing and
six hours a week of acting
and three hours a week OF
singing and three courses at
the New School of Social Re-
search. And on top Of that a
TV spectacular"
II hope you've learned
your lesson" I commented.
II hope so, too," Carol
said. "for I still am winded
when I climb stairs, and ]
have promised myself never
to get run down again. Food
Is important. I find that eat
ing high proteins helps me.
And I have been avoiding
most all starches. When ]
am busy, it is so easy to for
get about food and to skip
meals. and this is very fool
ish, and I paid for it.
Il have always known
what / wanted" Carol con-
fessed. "As q little girl /
started taking ballet, and in
Chicago I won three scholar
ships. My family complained
about my working too hard,
but I enjoyed improving my
self more than / enjoyed
dating. The boys in school
seemed immature to me, and
= think I frightened them.
This made me rather shy
with the opposite sex. and 1t
wasn't until I had q hit play
on Broadway that / was able
to feel free and easy socially.
When I look back on 1t all.
] realize that perhaps I liked
men but not boys"
On Eyes
The talk turned to make
UP and the way everyone
is accenting the eyes.
II have always used a
heavy line on my eyelids. !
think it's my ballet influence.
You know how they exagger-
ate eyes. I get so used to
looking at myself with make
up that I feel washed out
without it. But I do like
makeup to be natural. I
try to choose a base that is
the color of my skin and I
put 1t on so thin that it Is
not noticeable"
Don't you find wearing
makeup day and night is
bad for your complexion"
"Quite the contrary" Carol
exclaimed. when I am in
a show, my skin Is really
better, but I use a creamy type
base and it seems to protect
my skin. Makeup is made
so differently today. but I
do think it's important to
take it off completely. And
i like a milky lotion. I use
this several times and then
.lots Of soap and water and
then a dry-skin cream.
That's all I do. and"
Carol knocked on top of the
table, II never have had a
problem with my skim
do you have a problem
relaxing?"
when begin to feel the
pressure Of my work, I find
1t relaxing to visit a museum
I lose myself in all the ex-
hibits and when I come out
