was always cooing at me, and I hated it
very much, so I didn't want to inflict it on
my children."
Her divorce and Marjorie's instinctively
independent spirit combined to shape her
attitude toward child rearing. Her own
family was united, and she led a normal,
unpampered life. Nevertheless, she decided
at 15 to go out on her own.
Marjorie started out studying ballet but
met an actress who encouraged her to go
into show business professionally. She easi
ly won the first summer-stock role she tried
out for. Marjorie's head was in the clouds
until she tried for her next job. "When
I lost out on it," she says, "I came down
to earth with a bang." Yet she went on to
a number of Broadway and touring roles,
and while playing in "The Male Animal "
met and married actor John Archer. .
Nowadays, Marjorie has a helping hand
in raising Anne and Gregg: her parents
live next door to her San Fernando Valley
home and look after the children when she's
at work. But Anne and Gregg still handle
many of the household duties, even now
that Marjorie can afford a full-time house
keeper. In fact, Marjorie recalls, "Recently .
when both her grandmother and I were ill.
Anne ran both houses beautifully."
Except for special chores, the children get
no allowance for housework, because Mar
jorie doesn't think they should be paid for
- helping out in their own home.
Instead, the children are encouraged to
be resourceful in earning money. Two years
ago, Gregg needed some extra funds for
Christmas, so he set up a stand in front of
his home to sell mistletoe. That' year he
took in $35, but the next year, when he
tried again, it was raining so much that
mistletoe sales didn't go so well.
But Gregg commented: 'That's life."
Gregg and Anne are willing to work
toward other ends, too. For instance,
Marjorie wanted them to have the best
possible schooling and guidance because
she was away more than most mothers.
Her solution was a private school, which
put a severe strain on the family budget.
When the children's grades didn't live up
to her expectations, they had a heart-to-heart
talk. Marjorie pointed out that going
to a private school was a privilege they had
to earn by getting good grades or the extra
expense would no longer be justified. The
children promptly buckled down to work
and became honor students; Gregg is also
president of his class and captain of the
school baseball team. '
Marjorie is convinced that children suf
fer only if their parents are unhappy.
When their father visited them one day to
announce his remarriage plans, Gregg and
Anne were disturbed. After Archer left,
Gregg cried out, "This is terrible!"
"Not at all," Marjorie replied. "I think
it's wonderful that he's found someone who
wants to take care of him and love him."
"The minute the children saw that I
wasn't unhappy," Marjorie says, "their at
titude changed. If anything, their relation
ship with their father improved greatly.
"I wouldn't want people to think I allow
my children to run wild," Marjorie adds.
"They get plenty of guidance from me, and
we frequently talk things over. But what
ever I say to them is designed to help them
think for themselves, to stand on their own
feet And they do a wonderful job of it."
