When Roz
sails in
By NANCY ANDERSON
Copley News Service
HOLLYWOOD - The Bistro,
a Beverly Hills restaurant,
caters to such a celebrated cli
entele that one more star pass
ing through its dark and sedate
portal usually causes no ripple.
Yet even the restaurant’s
staff took notice when Rosalind
Russell sailed in.
She’s an actress recognized
by her peers for her talent; a
star recognized by the public as
having been one since the title
actually meant something.
She recently finished work in
an ABC television movie,
“Lonelyheart 555,” and had
come to lunch to discuss it.
However, she wasn’t adverse to
discussing other new produc
tions as well.
“I don’t know how young peo
ple can look at those blue
movies and not be disgusted,’
she all but snorted. “I’m not in
terested in anybody’s sex ac
tivities but my own. I must say,
though, that I’m fascinated by
the use of the camera in some
of the new pictures and by the
sets.”
Miss Russell began learning
the tricks and techniques of her
chosen field when, after gradu
ation from Marymount College
in Tarrytown-on-the-Hudson,
she enrolled at the American
Academy of Dramatic Arts in
New York.
The daughter of a distin
guished New England trial
lawyer, the late James E. Rus
sel, Roz came from a thorough
ly nontheatrical family which
found her addiction to acting

somewhat unnerving.
“I hid my theater ambitions
from my poor mother,” Miss
Russell said. “She’d been left
with seven children, and I
hated to add to her burdens, so
I told her I wanted to study
drama so that I could teach
dramatic arts.”
However, at her graduation
exercises, the tall, intelligent
New Englander was offered a
job with a theatrical company.
And, after that, neither her
mother’s qualms nor phone
calls begging her to come home
could discourage her from be
coming a professional actress.
She made her Broadway bow
in “Talent.” Then for three
years she appeared in a succes
sion of plays, usually under
Theater Guild auspices, until
her performance in a revival of
“The Second Man” brought her
a screen test and an MGM con
tract.
Since that time, despite her
returns to Broadway to star in
•Wonderful Town’’ and
“Auntie Marne,” she considers
California her home, primarily
because of her durable mar
riage to lx)s Angeles-based pro
ducer Frederick Brisson by
whom she has one son, loanee.
"To have a successful mar
riage,” Miss Russell declares,
“you must put marriage first —
ahead of everything else. There
is no other way.
“Fortunately, my husband
always understood my work,
but he also knew that it was
secondary to our family life.”
Referring to young people in
the entertainment industry,
Miss Russell regrets that youth

has so little humor today.
“When I was under contract
to MGM,” she says, “I worked
with the biggest stars in the
world, Clark Gable, Robert
Taylor, the giants. They were
the young people then, and they
all had great senses of humor
about everything including
themselves. The young people
now lack humor. They find ev
erything so tragic. Many of
them also lack discipline which
starts in the high chair.”
Her next professional project
is uncertain.
“I may play Aimee Semple
McPherson,” Miss Russell re
veals. “We have the property,
so making the picture is just a
matter of working out details.”
