OPPENHE1MER Famllv Wrtkly, February 12, 1MI Late for A rehearsal one day several years ago, Marjorie Lord dashed into the kitchen of her San Fernando Val ley home to fix a quick lunch for her two children, Gregg and Anne only to find that her eight-year-old son had beaten her to it. "You go on to rehearsal, Mom. I can fix the hamburgers as well as you can," Gregg said matter-of-factly. He did just that most efficiently. Although the kitchen prowess of most children of eight is limited to spreading a peanut-butter-and-jelly sandwich, young Gregg's ability to prepare a lunch for himself and his sister is the rule, not the exception, in the Lord household. Gregg is now 15 and Anne 13, but Marjories insistence that they learn to take care of themselves dates back to her divorce from their father, actor John Archer, when the chil dren were six and four. The fact that Marjorie is remarried, to theatrical producer Randy Hale, hasn't changed the pic ture. If anything, the youngsters have learned to be even more self-reliant, because Hale has his main office in San Francisco and sometimes can't get home for the weekend. At those times, Marjorie visits him in the Bay City. At the studio, Marjorie, who plays Danny Thomas' tele vision wife, watches as her make-believe youngsters, Rusty Hamer and Angela Cartwright, are guarded like treasures. Since both youngsters are under age (Rusty is 13 and An gela 8), California law requires they have their mothers with them on the set. But when Gregg and Anne spend a day at the studio with their mother, it's a rare treat. In addition, Rusty and Angela are required to have a teacher with them constantly including vacations. How dif ferent from Marjorie's real-life children! At Rusty's and Angela's ages they were running the household while Mar jorie was earning the bread and butter. "For financial reasons," says Marjorie, "I had to go back to my career after my divorce. I had given up working to devote time to my family, but it turned out that the children had to learn to care for themselves. I'm glad that they did." Sometimes their concern to help out "Mom" proved a bit of a strain to the uninitiated like the afternoon young Gregg answered the telephone. "Mommy isn't home right now," he told the caller, an important casting director. "May I take a message?" -The director gave Gregg his phone number. "Will you spell "Hollywood,' please?" seven-year-old Gregg begged. "Mommy will be cross if I don't get it right." "He kept the casting director on the phone half an hour spelling 'Hollywood' so he could take down the message ac curately," recalls Marjorie. Marjorie taught her children by treating them as grown ups, but without taking the fun out of childhood. "I never talked baby talk to them," she recalls. "I had an aunt who
