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."
