Friday the recent rise of radio

But ho added that he would try

Radiation levels in Los Angeles

the AEC set off its 19th and final

City health department officials
said the radiation level dropped

"The insecurities of being a
performer are difficult enough
with just one member of the fam

their next picture is coming from
it is impossible.

You're afraid to. ,

a big, star but, the. wife isn't get
ting many parts. Pretty soon she
starts nagging her husband for
roles too.
-."Even if they're both success
ful. they , never know when or
where the next picture is coming
from. It amounts to an on-and

you're not busy in this town the
word gets around. Jobs become
hard to find."
Cara says she didn't care about
a career while she was married
to Barrymore. But now that she's
on her own, the shapely actress
is booming for activity. She s giv
