Marilyn Monroe in
Movies' Doghouse
Hollywood (U.R) Marilyn
Monroe moved over today to
make room for actress Grace
Kelly in Hollywood's doghouse.
Like marvelous' Marilyn, Miss
Kelly was suspended by MGM
studios for refusing parts in two
vehicles.
Miss Monroe, a sensation
whether she's acting or just
standing around, was suspended
by 20th Century Fox last Janu
ary on similar grounds.
Might Be Spoiled
Contacted in New York where
she is busy settling down in a
new Fifth Avenue apartment,
Miss Kelly admitted she might
be getting a little spoiled, par
ticularly after her role in "The
Country Girl," which won her
an Academy Award nomination
this year.
"I'm not trying to be difficult
or temperamental," Miss Kelly
said, "I just don't feel I'm right
for the Dart in 'Jeremv Rodoek
My agent told that to the studio,
Dut xney say they nave to make
the picture, anyway.
Dramatic Part
"It's difficult to describe the
role. It's a straight dramatic part.
But, you know, every role now
seems to pale in comparison with
ihe country Girl.' Maybe that
picture spoiled me a little." she
said.
An MGM spokesman con
firmed the suspension took place
11 days ago, but had not been
revealed because the Btudio
hoped Miss Kelly would recon
sider.
