She has too many deep-eyed good looks to be an all-the-way comedienne and too much height for a standard ingenue, so she has balanced herself neatly between the two - in Where the Boys Are, with Brigid Bazlen in The Honeymoon Machine, and in Bob Hope's Bachelor in Paradise, scheduled for release in November. While at Lamar High School in Houston, Paula sold a poem to the Atlantic Monthly, went on to Virginia's Auntie Bellum Randolph-Macon College, became something of a campus...
