GLAMOUR IS THEIR BUSINESS

or being vain is the "kiss
Of death" socially.
Every time someone paid
me a compliment, my family
played 1t down. You are
lucky to have a pretty face,'
my mother told me, but
other things are more i'm
portant, such as what you
make Of your character and
what you do with your life
II am grateful for my
mothers advice" Lee con-
fided, because Hollywood is
full Of girls who are beautiful,
but that's not enough. Peo-
pie expect more of you than
a pretty face. You have to
have charm and personality,
too. And If you forget your
self and listen and talk about
what others are interested
in, you can't help but be
liked.
II believe In overall
cleanliness" she continued.
There is nothing more
charming than a girl who
has hair that is shining
clean, skin that is clear with
a scrubbed look and clothes
that are spotlessly clean.
II love a bath. I make q
big thing of it with oils,
lotions and powder all with
the same scent. I like to lie
in very hot water. I know
that is not supposed to be
relaxing, but I can feel my
self letting down. I like q
carnation scent. 1t seems to
bring a fragrance into the
whole house"
You don't seem to be the
type that needs much re-
laxing," I remarked.
II am composed most Of
the time" she replied. THE
trick is not to pick up the
tempo from others, but to
establish your own and stay
with 1t. My husband has a
temper. He let's it go, and I
watch him effectively and
know that in. a short time
it will be over and forgotten.
II think tenseness Is
mental. 1t comes from failure
to be true to yourself. Not
living up to your ideals and
compromising robs one of
tranquility"
II have good muscle tone,
and I was working in a
picture six weeks after each
of my babies was born. But
I've been dancing since 1 was
eight. This is my favorite
form Of exercise. I find it
very satisfying. 1t is a great
way to work off mental and
physical illnesses"

HOLLYWOOD.-Lee Rem
lex and I met shortly after
she came to Hollywood for
her first picture. At that
time she was having a private
war with the makeup de-
partment because, as she
said. "They were trying to
give me the cookie-cutter
routine the same kind of
eyes, mouth, hair and figure
that they gave every girl at
the studio. / took one look
at myself, washed my face,
brushed my hair and re-
fused to wear padding. After
all, I looked natural when
the producer signed me for
the picture"
Lee has fiercely guarded
her individuality. and 1t has
paid off; for now, six years
later. she is a star, whereas
the girls who allowed them
selves to have the cookie
cutter" look are still un-
known. I reminded Lee Of
this when we visited at War
ner Bros, where she is film
ing Days of Wine and
Roses"
I have mother to thank
for stressing individuality"
Lee told me. when I was
in school, I wanted to dress
like all the other girls who
had dozens Of skirts and
blouSes. But mother bought
fewer clothes for me, but
better ones. It was good to
learn early that quality pays
OH, and ! learned to like
not looking like everyone
else"
Even when Lee made a
presentation at the Academy
Awards, she wore very little
makeup, and her hair was
soft and natural in contrast
to the many elaborate styles.
IT had so many COM
pliments that night, and I
have never met a man who
liked to see q woman all
made up with an artificial
hairstyle. I think naturalness
and extreme cleanliness are
