...appeal than, say, ZaSu Pitts, but it is also obvious that a Liz Taylor she's not. If there is an animal splendor about her, it is more pussycat than panther. Her curves do not pop the eyes. Her legs are a little too lean and a mite long (she is 5 ft. 7 in.). Her jaw is on the prognathous side. Her feet are a little less than dainty (size 8); when she played Cinderella on TV, her slipper could almost have fit the Prince. And she's got freckles on her nose...

Wahleah was properly tearful...
Charlotte was something of a wallflower until her middle teens. She was overweight and a mite bossy. But as the time for her debut approached, she took herself in hand, dieted, and straightened her posture. The night of the $250,000 extravaganza, dubbed "the party of the century," she was poised and pretty. Anne's debut two years later was the second party of the century and cost just as much...
