...pretty, crop-haired blonde had already qualified for the U.S. Olympic swimming team (100-meter free style and 400-meter relay) and set an American 100-meter mark (1:04.6) in the process. Shelley Mann of Washington, D.C.'s Walter Reed Swim Club should have been riding high, relaxed and easy. "But look at her," said her young (24) coach, Stan Tinkham (TIME, April 18, 1955). "You can almost see the adrenaline pumping through her. She'll swim each race a hundred times before she goes into the pool. Maybe that...
Whatever the reason, bonny Shelley continued to churn out championship performances. On the last night of the Olympic tryouts at Detroit's Brennan pools last week, the tireless 18-year-old won the 100-meter butterfly in 1:12.3, just half a second over her own world record. Even if she has to do it all by herself, Shelley is determined to win her country an Olympic gold medal, something no U.S. woman swimmer could do four years ago at Helsinki...
...Blackstone Hotel. Between events, blonde, blue-eyed Carin was just another casual, crop-haired, broad-shouldered, high-school girl-as cool and pretty as peach ice cream, and bouncingly healthy.

...concentration on the emotion of the distraught wife. Some scenes are grotesque, but they are never offensively so. Paul Meurisse, brutal and dynamic, plays the lecher of women and money. Vera Clouzot, palpitating in guilt and disease, is morally both noble and weak as his wife. Simone Signoret, a Shelley Winters of the Champs Elysees, is calm and ecstatically vengeful. The composite is queer, probing, and quite perfect...
...best Broadway season in years-with Shakespeare. Marlowe, Giraudoux, Anouilh and Wilder on the boards; with Julie Harris, Shirley Booth, Ruth Gordon, Shelley Winters, Nancy Walker, Gwen Verdon on the scene; and more hits around than theaters to hold them-one of the most dazzling events is the performance in The Diary of Anne Frank of 17-year-old Susan Strasberg (TIME, Oct. 17). Susan got an actress's recognition last week when her name went up in lights a foot high above the title of the show, and she became the youngest dramatic star ever to shine...
