HOLLYWOOD. - "They

in Sicily with Burt Lancaster
and Alain Delon in THE
Leopard" But" added the
23-year-old actress who has
been called successor" to
Brigitte Bardot, II prefer to
make films in Europe because
American moviemakers come
to Europe. It's so difficult
to make a foreign actress a
success in another land. They
don't understand how to Il
struct a foreign actress In
Hollywood.
"If'-Claudia didn't want
to close the door entirely
they propose for me a good
part. I go. but not for long,
not a contract. I have a con-
tract in italy with VIDAS-

she replied, II don't hate be-
ing second to Brigitte Bar
dot. But / am completely
different, not based only on
the sex appeal. I prefer the
drama. I have a great adj
miration for Brigitte; I met
her in Brussels, she was very
nice to me. I hope she does
not give up her career. 1t is
stupid for them to say I am
the second Bardot. There is
only one B. B. I am c. c.
Unlike Brigitte, Claudia
hasn't married. cts so much
better for my work. It's so
difficult to have a successful
marriage and so difficult to
get a divorce. All the trouble
Sophia Loren is having"
ROme's the Center
The young actress, more
interested in talking about
her career, told me, I'm this
period, the Italian cinema is
very good; we are making
good films with young, new
directors. Rome is now the
center of the movie world. 1t
is full of foreign actors;
many, many American actors.
And I don't mean Elizabeth
Taylor. People in Rome are
sick of all that.
II don't envy Elizabeth.
The paparrazi (photog-
raphers) never leave her
alone. They never leave any
one alone. I never dare go
outside, I never go to a night
club. l hate it. I don't like to
have people following me; I
can't walk on the street any
more. I'm sorry because one
of my best hobbies was to
walk on the streets Of Rome.

HOLLYWOOD-With that
lovely body encased in the
curve-snuggling strawberries
and-cream sheath dress, the
stagehands should have been
whistling.
But they weren't. The girl
was too demure, too sweet, too
nice for wolf whistles. Be
sides. she was nervous.
II don't think this girl will
get on" commented one
stagehand. I've never seen
one so jittery before"
1t happened backstage at
the recent Academy Awards
show. OnStage came the in
PRODUCTION from Bob Hope.
AS the cue approached, the
young girl Tipped an unruly
forelock and began a jazzy
swapping of her right fingers
close by her eardrum.

girl turn into a torrid, SEN

Mother Explains
And there you have the two
faces of Ann-Margret, Just
turned 81 and unquestionably
one of the most-talked-of
girls in Hollywood today.
Mrs. Anna Olson, her
mother. explains it with
Swedish accent:
II don't know why she Is
that way-but I'm happy she
is. Everybody who meets my
daughter In person makes the
same observation.
"Ann-Margret the girl is a
sweet, home-loving daughter
who is very close to her
mother and father and nei-
ther smokes nor drinks. Ann
Margret the performer is an
other girl. I don't recognize
her myself sometimes"
Ann-Margret explains it
this way:
THE music just moves me.
gotta hear it to move. I lose
all my inhibitions in song
and dance"
Her statements are remi-
niscent of Elvis Presley in
the days when his pelvic gy-
rations shook up bobby-sox-
ers. No wonder Ann-Margret
has been called a female Elvis.
Hope Wanted Her
Being a girl, Ann-Margret's
torso-tossing shakes up many
in the post-malt-shop age
group. Hope tried to sign her
after the Oscar telecast for
his next TV show, but she
was already committed.
Her movie career-just two
released pictures thus far
gives a graphic proof of the
two faces of Ann-Margret.

he met her. He cast her as

Drama Critic Of The Star

Eileen Brennan, a large
eyed, deep-dimpled girl, ap-
parently has her choice Of
being the next Beatrice Lille
or the first Eileen Brennan.
One may hope out of an
invincible affection for Miss
Lille that her choice will be
the latter. One may assume
on the basis of q fugitive
acquaintanceship with Miss
Brennan that it will be.
There are any number #
resemblances between the
imps which have so long pos
sessed Miss Lille, perhaps
the funniest woman alive,
and those which are taking
up tenancy in youthful Miss
Brennan. This is apparent
to any alert spectator at
Olney Theater's first produc-
ton Of the 1862 summer
season, Little Mary Sum-
shine"
Miss Brennan plays the
title role in that spool Of
the musical comedies which
died, unlamented, in the sos.
She's a riot, sometimes in
the most unlikely of material,
as Miss Lille can be: a
thrown-away line that lifts
the roof of the theater.
Speech Pure, Too
There is a point in the
dialogue. for instance, where
Little Mary's absolute purity
of heart is to be expressed
in three small, insignificant
words. Such an one" says
Miss Brennan demurely. The
English language has almost
never sounded so absurd.
Such an one, she is.
Another Of her achieve
ments in angelic malice is
in her walk. AS becomes a
heroine Of such towering in
nocence and naivete, Miss
Brennan does not really walk.
She floats instead. But not
altogether smoothly. Every
third or fourth step, she
kicks up a heel. Result:
Another uproar.
Neither Of these, for all
their hilarity, touches the
explosive effect of a still
smaller gesture in Miss Bren-
mans portrait of Colorado
mountain top girlhood. This
occurs in the first love scene
between Little Mary and
Ranger Capt. big Jim" War
rington. In this tender mo-
ment Big Jim, as gentle as
a dove and as brave as q
lion, knows the inexperienced
innocence he is dealing with

Urban Action
questioned
By Mcclellan
BY ]. A. O'LEARY
Star Staff Writer

Senator Mcclellan, Democrat
OF Arkansas, today questioned
the wisdom of using the Reor-
ganization Act to create new
departments which Congress is
unwilling to create by statute.
Presiding over Senate hear
ings on President Kennedy's
order to set up a Department
OF Urban Affairs, the chairman
OF the Government Operations
Committee pointed out that
Congress has failed to act on
the urban affairs bill. He said
this makes him wonder If the
Reorganization Act is to be-
come a device to circumvent
Congress.
II fail to see how it circum-
vents Congress-" replied Budget
Director David E. Bell" because
If Congress does not approve
this reorganization plan it will
invade or weaken States rights.
In earlier testimony, support
ers of the plan denied it would
not 60 through"
Case, Javits Favor
Lined up for the Presidents
plan at the opening session
were Republican Senators Cliff
ford P. Case of New Jersey and
Javits of New York. They are
included in group of five or
six Republicans on whom the
administration is counting to
provide the margin of victory
when the reorganization plan
is voted on in the Senate next
week.
Present indications are the
plan will be approved in the
Senate. The crucial vote will
come in the House, where the
opponents believe they still
have a majority.
Conflicting testimony was
presented today by outside
organizations. with the AFL-
CIO supporting the new de-
partment and the National
Association of Real Estate
Boards opposing it. The Ma
tional Association of Home
Builders and the National
Apartment Owners Association
also opposed it.
{ Floor Action Set
Senate Democratic Leader
Mansfield has announced he
will call up the reorganization
order for floor action Monday
or Tuesday. If it should fail,
the original urban affairs bill
could still be considered in the
Senate, but there is no hope
of getting action on it in the
House.
1t was the refusal of the
House Rules Committee to send
the bill to the floor that
prompted President Kennedy to
turn to his powers under the
Reorganization Act.
Senator Case said that de-
spite its shortcomings the
Presidents order offers the best
hope for beginning to bring
order out of existing admins
trative chaos" in the handling
of urban affairs.
