Bright lights framing the mirror failed to ferret out the slightest imperfection in the picture she offered in it. The painted lips were just right, the tilt of the chin, the deep blue depths of the correctly shaped eyes, the baby-smooth skin, the pearly teeth, the rich blue-black hair. What she wore was a pastel nightgown. its torn lace edge showing beneath the folds of Clark Gable's raincoat and too-big brown leather slippers. is is positively blithe about it, almost child- like he said, “nobody can call me glamorous any is a movie called “Comrade X.” In it Hedy gets to do she’s never worn in any other movie. “Am I tired of mour?

For the rst, she wears a uniform (but T bet the Soviet tailors aren't Adrians.) battered leather cap and motorman’s gloves. “I never gloves myself when I can avoid them,” said can YOU drive a car with and a wear hats or she “They bother me — gloves on?” As further means of escape from her label, poor Hedy is counting on her fights — knock-down-dra-outs with Gable (she says she wore blisters on her hands yb swinging a chair at Clark all one afternoon) and with one of the women in the cast. She gets her face dirtied and her hair disarranged; she drives an army tank and hops a train and is lively as can be. So Hedy was happy as a child about it all, even radiant as she answered King Vidor's call to be arrested by the OGPU and taken away with Gable. But T dunno. Seemed to me she looked — no matter what she’d done with chairs, army tanks, streetcars and mud — exactly likg Hedy Lamarr. You can muddy up a silk purse but you don’t produce a pig's ear. e
