...achievement than it may sound. But she only acts out bewitching allure; she does not embody it. During rehearsals, the cast screened Louise Brooks' Lulu in the 1928 silent film of Wedekind's Pandora's Box- which may partly account for Shade's tendency to play the role as a jazz-age vamp...
Chandler has approached both work and play with that same drive to prove himself. A big-game hunter who says his sport has taken him to "all the high mountains of the world," Chandler is also a motorcycle enthusiast, weight lifter and former Stanford University shotputter who made the Olympic team in 1952.

Hollywood had a Latin view of them, the whore or the madonna." If a script called for a very young girl to play a suggestive role, directors looked around for slightly built older actresses. When the film version of Vladimir Nabokov's Lolita appeared in 1962, it was considered scandalous that Sue Lyon, a not particularly slight 14 when she was selected for the role, was so young.
