Jk fras.- CALHERN LANSBURY i Jeaa KAl P T IWWW HIT No. 3 KcCAUBTn-BCZr-FSSTOt DINING INN CENTRAL POINT Around Hollywood By ALINE MOSBY Uaita- frets Cerresanear Hollywood (U.R) Blonde, shapely Jo Van Fleet has found movie success as Hollywood's female Jekyll Hyde. She doesn't mind cover ing up her curves to play wrinkled, evil old ladies. Jo, a prize winning act ress on Broad way, made her Aline Mosky movie debut this year as James Den's shady mother in 'East of Eden.' Now she's portraying the over-ambitious, unhappy parent of Susan Hayward in MGM's version of the best-selling book, "I'll Cry Tomorrow." But the much-applauded act ress has no desire to throw away the false wrinkles and padding now that she is a sought-after personality. ..' "I never was an ingenue or the delicate type," she explained to day on the MGM set. I'm no competition to the glamour girls. I never considered myself that good looking. Character roles are my forte I'm better at them. I've almost always played them on the stage. G.Iamour roles are too much of a problem. On TV sometimes they want me to look good,, and there's such a worry about cam era angles and keeping your chin up!" Transforms Into Witch Transforming the attractive blonde into a near-witch is make? up genius. I trailed Jo to the make-up department at MGM where they drew lines and shad ows on her face and added a wig and figure padding. . "This is the first time I've worn a wig," she said apologet ically. I've always dyed my hair for a part. It looks more natural. I was a redhead for 'King Lear on Broadway, a blonde for 'Flight Into Egypt " "For 'East of Eden'" Gadge Elia Kazan, the director, wanted a peculiar shade of blonde so I streaked my hair with gray. My hair has been dyed so much I'm not sure what the natural color is." ' She completes the illusion for1 her current role by "making my figure sloppy." As she has figu- ured it out, "an unhappy middle- aged women loses her style. Her stomach muscles sag, her shoul ders are round." Knuckles Get 'Falsies' Her "East of Eden" transform ation took three hours each day. The character was supposed to be arthritic so her knuckles were enlarged with rubber "falsies." Her fingers were glued together to stiffen her hands. . Offstage, Jo. who left her Oakland, Calif., home 10 years ago for the stage, lives quietly in Vermont with her husband, college teacher William Bales. "Everywhere fans seem to be surprised when they see me in real life," she laughed. "They expect me to be old. They keep looking at my hands."
