By the time she had celebrated her 18th birthday, Linda had not! the bills separate, arguing that the only managed to storm the studio! citadels but also had succeeded in climbing to stardom in one record leap. Universal - International’s “The Lady Pays Off,” opening Tuesday at the Monroe Theatre, is Linda’s first screen role as a free-lance star and casts the -actress in the! role of a glamorous school teach-! er who takes a vacation fling at the Reno, Nevada, gambling tables and becomes involved with a gam- bling casino operator, played by Stephen McNally. Gigi Perreau, sensational nine-year-old actress, stars with Miss Darnell and Mc- Nally in the highly entertaining ro- mantic comedy. Miss Darnell was born and rais- ed in Dallas, Texas, and at the age of 13 was a member of the Cathe- dral Players of St. Matthew’ Church, then later of the Civic Theatre and New Theatre League of Dallas. In other words, Linda had her goal set on a film career just as she entered the teen-age bracket. During Linda’s first year in high school a film talent executive visit- ed Dallas in search of potential screen personalities, Young Linda paraded her charms and numer- ous photographs were taken and viewed by studio executives.
