That's why it’s news when Peter Lind Hayes starts his fourth film career. That’s not a bad record for a lad in his mid-30’s. But with Peter, nothing is: impossible. He was bern and tred in show business, his mother being the old- time entertainer, Grace Hayes. Pete tried everything, from sing- ing on the radio to doing imperso- nations in saloons. His first movie id 9 Healy, the comedian. “That lasted for two years,” he recalled. Then Healy died and I was out of a job.” His second career began when he was signed to an acting con- tract at Paramount. His first pic- ture was “Million Dollar Legs.” “The studio released Betty Grable, and kept me,” he said. After. 17 pictures, all of them B's except three, he was pretty well washed “Fihen came the war and Pete toured with “winged Victory.” Aft- er he returned from the service, he hit the night club circuit and seored a big hit. He was brought to Hollywood in triumph. His first picture under his new contract was “The Senator was ”* It turned out to be his last. The product of such funny: men as Nunnally Johnson and George S. Kaufman, it was one of the unfunniest films of 1948. “I was supposed to be the prom- ising young comedian,” he sighed, work was as stand-in for Ted but’ ‘ali of «my dialogue was straight lines. I didn’t-have a laugh in the picture. The studio released cod shmie andkept the picttire.” ‘Sfpisheaitétied by the’ ‘movie flop and the failure of a radio program ‘he “ha? with Dinah Shore, Pete ) 925) 'peturtied to New York. He and his ros wife, Mary Healy, latched ‘television. They are now vet- erans of three sponsored shows and one sustaining, which makes them oldtimers in the infant industry. At present, their program is al- ternating with Burns and Allen on Thursday nights. Mary and Pete are back in Hol- lywood again, this time to star in a Stanley Kramer film with the weird title of “The 5,000 Fingers of Dr. T.” Oddly enough, the deal did not come about because of their TV appearances. “It bappened when we were Vegas,” said Pete. “I had just | come off after the show and was | standing at the bar when a guy struck up a conversation. I thought he was going to be the usual kind | @f pest and was going to give him the brush as soon as possible. A was—Stanley. Kramer,” Considering his: past film ad- ventures, it’s natural that Pete isn’t bowled over by his latest movie break. He and Mary still intend to live in New York. “You can keep people off-bal- ance back there,” he reasoned. “If you fail in one medium, there are three others you can jump to. In Hollywood, if you fail in movies, there’s only place you can jump— in the Pacific Ocean.” Inflation caused the price of brid- es to go sky high in Uganda, Afri- ca.
