HOLLYWOOD.—(NEA)—A 10-
vear-old blonde girl sat before her
mirror one day in 1933 in St. Louis
snd cried her heart out.
A neighkorhood boy had just
czlled her a “zombie.”
There was no argument about it.
Shirley Schrift was a champion
ugly duckling.
[here was a mole between her
eves, She had uncontrollable hair
and crooked teeth. She was pain
#ully skinny and she had the per
sonality of the lbackside of a
handball court,
The children she played with
frequently suggested a game of
ops and robbers and Shirley was
tied to a post. “So we could es
zpe from her,” one of them re
members.
Today Shirley Schrift is Holly
wood’s sexiest siren — Shelley
Winters. :

Shelley took a luckless film test
at MGM, She was made up to look
something like Lucille Ball. When
shiedprotested the makeup man
said:
“Ye Gads, you don't want to
look like YOU, do you?”
She got a Betty Grable treat
ment at Fox and was brushed off
yvith: “You're hopeless. Your voice
is all wrong and you have three
lefi feet.” The same thing happen
ed at the Warner studio and Shel
ley was convinced that she needed
at least a ton of make-up to face
a movie camera.
Then she was cast as the sexy
waitress in “A Double Life.”
“No miakeup,” ordered Director
George Cukor.
Shelley remembers:
“I thought he was ruining me. I
wanted to look like a Hollywood
actress, I'd sneak on the set with
lipstick and false eyelashes. He'd
yell at me, ‘Take 'emr off, Shelley.
Don’t be an actress. Be a wait
ress.’ So I took off the eyelashes
and the lipstick and what happens
—I become a glamour queen. You
figure it out.”
Hollywood has tried to figure it
out. There’s mo logical explana
tion except that when she took
off the makeup, Shelley’s face took
|on an earthy, natural sex appeal
that has been popping the pop
corn in movie theaters ever since.
The acting, once she got a
break, came natural to Shelley.
She’s an extrovert who has been
acting all her life — “When I'm
not acting for money I'm acting
for free.”
Shelley is the daughter of Rose
Winters, who was an opera sing
er with the St. Louis Municipal
Opera, and Johan Schrift, a men's
clothing designer. She made her
stage debut at four, singing “On
the Good Ship Lollipop” in a
movie theater’s Shirley Temple
contest — and wouldn’t leave the
footlights until they handed her
a consolation prize, a sweater 14
sizes too big.
At 11, the Schrift zombie moved
with her family to Brooklyn. She
played Katisha in “The Mikado”
at Thomas Jefferson High School
and changed her name from Shir
ley to Shelley (and took her
mother’s maiden name) “because
the kids called me Shirley Tem
- | ple.”
» Six months before high school
s | graduation she quit to become a
model by day and a drama stu-
L | dent by night.
Broadway casting directors re

ten, a chorus girl’s job at the La
Conga night club in New York,
and a $lO-a-week Summer sea
son in a stock company on the
borscht circuit.
Chester Erskine, who gave
Shelley her first stage role, re
members her: “She was about 16
and had a wild mop of hair and
heavy, shell-rimmed glasses. I
didn’t have a job for her but after
10 minutes of salesmanship she

A hit, finally, in “Rosalinda,*
brought Shelley to that short
lived, $l5O-a-week contract with
Columbia. Then came a quickie
war-time marriage to an Army
officer, Mack Thayer. They were
married on New Year's Day, 1948,
but spent only six months together
in almost five years of marriage.
They were divorced in 1947.
Explains Shelley: “It was just
a situation’ ruined by the war.”
But it was back to New York
again for Shelley, this time as
“Ado Annie” for a Summer sea
son of “Oklahoma” before Direc
tor George Cukor tested her for
the role of the waitress who dish
ed up sex in “A Double Life.”

COMMUNIST OFFICIAL “ERRS”
HONG KONG.—(AP)-—~This is
a boiled-down history of a Chi
nese Comnrunist who “deviated
and deteriorated.”
Yeh Chin Ming became & Com=
‘munist in 1928 and for 21 years
‘accepted Spartan self-denial.
After the Reds captured Shanghai
in 1949, Yeh was made the direc
tor of publie utility of the Shang
hal Municipal People’s govern=
ment.
~ Fifteen months later Yeh had a
'2O-room house with garden and
swimming pool and two cars at all
times.
Recently the Red newspaper,
Liberation Daily, reported that
Yeh was denounced for charging
an $8,400 rent bill for the house
to the government by listing it as
‘a dormitory and for driving both
cars to Hangchow and using up
65 gallons of gasoline instead of
going by train.
He has been called on te “re
view and rectify hinrself.”

Designed to spark ORC interes§

tactical and technical Ilessions
learned in Korea.
Team members Ist Lt. Robert A,
Algarotti, WOJG Robert T. King,
M|Sgt. Jerry Burdette, and Sfe.
James Reynolds are ali reservists
