Shirley, understandably, was thinking about her career and what a TIME cover story would do for it. "It's still so early," said she, speaking the truth. For it is precisely because it is early in a career of great promise that Shirley is on TIME'S cover. She is one of the "New Girls of Hollywood" (more are pictured with the story) who are setting a new style in movie personalities...
...Rivera, and other baubles to match. From her mother, Mexican Actress Lupita Tovar, she inherited liquid, tip-tilted eyes of striking beauty.

As a female emancipation proclamation, the Memoirs will also seem curiously dated to Americans, for Feminist de Beauvoir belongs uncompromisingly to the either-or camp on the marriage v. career question, and apparently consigns most of her sex to the vegetable bin of history. Nonetheless these graciously written memoirs carry distinct appeal in recording the emotional and intellectual birth pangs of a fascinating woman...
