HOLLYWOOD. - When I
met Lana Turner for lunch
the other day in fashionable
Beverly Hills restaurant, she
looked every inch a movie
star from her beautifully
dressed hair to her chic suit
and understated jewelry.
Her appearance was in
sharp contrast to young
star sitting across the room,
who obviously reserved her
glamour for the screen. When
I mentioned this to Lana,
she said, ITO neglect your
appearance is rude. You don't
have to look at yourself but
others do,
When I first went to MGM.
the reigning queens were
Joan Crawford and Norma
Shearer; they always looked
glamorouS and still do. I was
making only $50 a week but
I tried as much as possible to
copy their glamour and make
up tricks" Lana continued.
Il can see only one reason
for neglecting your appear
ance and that is that you
don't care" Lana added.
Daughter. Too
And this no makeup kick
these teen-agerS are on! They
claim they are nonconform-
lists but what are they doing
but going along with the same
trend? I have to laugh when
I think how my daughter
begged to wear lipStick when
she was too young and now
that she is 16 she doesn't
want to. But as she grows
older, I hope she'll feel like
taking advantage of the fiat
terry of makeup properly
used"
Lana was not wearing
makeup base and her skin
was clear and fine-grained.
Il have just finished one
picture and I'm soon to start
on Streets of Montmartre' so
I'm letting my skin breathe"
she explained. I'm blessed
with a good complexion but
I've always tried to keep it
clean. This may sound shock
ing but what does me the
most good is a granular
cleanser which is popular
with mechanics. make a
paste Of this and go all over
my face. I work it in gently
and my pores are never
clogged."
We talked of the past holi-
days and all the parties we
attended and I asked Lana
to give some advice on dress
Ing for a gala occasion.
The most important step"
she began, "is to plan ahead
to decide what you are 60
ing to wear down to the
smallest accessory. If you
have to buy something, do it
in plenty of time because you
never can find what you
want in a rush. Have every
thing inspected so that you
step into your clothes know
ing they are perfect. There
IS nothing more frustrating
than to find what you in
tended to wear is not pre-
sentable.
The day of the event I
have my manicure and pedi-
cure in the morning. Llama
has long beautiful nails
which she paints mother-of-
pearl0 I do up my hair on
big rollers before my shower
and use an diversified shower
cap. In an emergency use
a cut-up plastic bag-the
kind that comes from the
cleaners.
After my shower I use a
body lotion that is unScented.
I don't like to have it con-
f1ict with my perfume"
I named a floral scent that
Lana has been wearing for
years asking. Are you still
true to the same perfume?"
Lana laughed. Yes, and I
guess I always will be. 1t has
become such a part Of me
now, but the funny thing is
that when other people try
1t, the fragrance is not the
same on them"
Light on Subject
Lana mentioned that a
good light is essential in ap-
plying makeup, adding, Il
like to have plenty of time
80 that my makeup will look
natural. I think that terribly
exaggerated eye makeup is
ugly. You can't see the eyes
for the cook around them"
