Certainly he liked the idea of taking that woman, to be his lawful wedded wife. Oddly enough, there's a strong resemblance between be-tween the new Mrs. Markey and the first one, Joan Bennett, as Joan appears ap-pears In her brunette wig In "Trade Winds." And there'll probably be a resemblance In the setting of "Trad Winds" and the next picture in which Hedy LaMarr stars "Lady of the Tropics," in which Robert Taylor will be her leading man. This business of tracing resemblances resem-blances can go on and on forever. Old timers can try to find one between be-tween the clamorous Hedy and that f; I' ' n HEDY LA MARK glamour girl of an earlier day, Barbara Bar-bara LaMarr (surely there couldn't have been a thought of Barbara in the mind of the person who suggested suggest-ed "LaMarr" when the lovely Viennese Vien-nese Mrs. Markey was choosing a name for her American career!). Believe It or not, Merle Oberon had her face washed with kerosene the other day. The same thing happened hap-pened to Laurence Oliver and David Niven, and all in the cause of art. Not that the makeup man had anything against them. Kerosene, when mixed with paraffin and heated heat-ed slightly, provides a quick-drying spray which dries white, so that he who gets sprayed looks as if frost had appeared on hair, eyebrows and eyelashes. With the cops and robbers cycle waning, motion picture producers are certainly taking to playing cowboys cow-boys and Indians in a great big way. Paramount has three big westerns scheduled for this spring and summer sum-mer "Geronimo." "Buffalo Bill" and "The Lives of a Texas Ranger," a sequel to "Texas Ranger." There's going to be a premium on Indians in the Hollywood studios, first thing anybody knows. |
