...stars looked suddenly pretty dim." Producer Pandro Berman (who had just lost Marilyn Monroe for the part of Grushenka, and could not be sure that Warner Bros, would let Carroll Baker play it), took one startled look at Maria and got on the phone to Director Brooks. "I just saw Grushenka." After the party, Maria happened to meet Actor Brynner in the lobby of her hotel. He took one startled look and got on the phone to Director Brooks. "I just saw Grushenka." "O.K., O.K.," said Brooks. "You just saw Grushenka. Everybody just saw Grushenka...

But once they saw her in front of the camera, says Brooks, "they knew they had to do with a real professional, and the whole atmosphere of the picture changed. The other actors worked like hell to keep up with her." She was into everything. She had notions for the costume people, insights for the cameraman.

He was a little slow in school, and for his slowness he was often caned, but he had a wonderful "aura"-the multicolored emanation that Theosophists saw gleaming about each other. Krishnamurti displayed big black eyes and a set of irrefutable (because unstatable) notions of a vaguely ethical tinge; e.g., "Truth being limitless, unconditioned, unapproachable by any path whatsoever, cannot be organized." He lived on vegetables, and on the front page, and the wonder is that he managed...
