can boast of one happy case his

For the past

Joan Fontaine,
and the actress
calls her inter

"t h e greatest
lesson in my

life." Joan discovered little Mar
tita, then 5Vi, living in a mud
hut in a remote village atop the
Andes in Peru while the star was
touring the country.
"I saw Martita sitting on the
wall of this home she was the
caretaker's daughter," the ac
tress said at MGM on the set of
"Until They Sail."
Destined for Each Other
"It was fate we were des
tined for each other," Miss Fon
taine said. "I thought, 'She's
mine.' It was a spur of the mo
ment impulse. She had lots of
brothers and sisters so her par
