Marjorie Lord Says:
"I Taught
My Children to
Take Care
of Themselves"
Television's perfect mother had
a more complex roJe in real life
raising two children while,
supporting them as an actress
By PEER J. 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
