r 8A MAIL TRIBUNE, M.dford, Ore., Sunday, September 21, 1953 Famous Actress Explains Secret for Staying Young By GAY PAULEY New York -(UPD- Lynn Fon tanne says her secret of youth is wrapped up in one rule: "Don't get bored." "And funny thing," added the long-time actress who rates as one of the all-time greats of the theater, "in the last couple or three years, I confess I am occasionally bored. "You may see me begin ning to break up." And she laughed heartily. I don't think so. Frankly, I hope I look as young and have as much vim when I reach her age, whatever it is. "Questions about how old I am are questions I never an swer," she said in one of the rare interviews she, has given in recent years. 'I don't really remember how old I am," she insisted. "I'd have to count back. I haven't discussed age since I was 19." This, she said, may be an "ostrich outlook" on the pas sage of time, but "it's more fun that way. And you'fl have trouble looking me up. "Now with Alfred it's dif ferent," said the British-born actress. "He comes from Mil waukee and it's easy to check." Alfred Lunt, her hus band for 36 years and her act ing partner for 34, was born in 1893, according to "Who's Who in America." Her listing gives no birthdate. Born while Queen Victoria still reigned, Lynn Fontanne has acted since childhood. She came to America in 1916 as a protege of the famous actress, Laurette Taylor. She and Lunt first teamed in "The Guardsman" in 1924, and have rarely been separated since. This spring they opened in a new dramatic hit, "The Visit," and in a Broadway theater named for them. After a brief summer vacation at their farm home 40 miles north of Milwaukee, they will re-open in the play August 20 "We always talk about re tiring from the theater when we're tired," said Miss Fon tanne. "Right now, all I want to do is sit and stare. I love not to work. I like to play scrabble and do all the Idle things. Cooking bores me, so I let Alfred cook. Why shouldn't I . . . he's a gradu ate of the Cordon Bleu cook ing school. But I'm one whale of a seamstress." "I'll tell you another theory I have about staying young," said the actress. "A woman's neck and jawline are very im portant and unfortunately, also the first to go. All my adult life I've exercised the neck muscles by stretching my head back, and I massage with cold cream as I stretch. "Not too much at first, three or four times," she cau tioned. "Work up to seven or eight stretches. "And make it a ritual, ev ery night of your life."
