("Lance tells everybody he taught me to cook. Say, until
I took him in hand, he could have used his bread as a
cornerstone for our house!")
Recently, when Lance sold one of his countless antique
autos to a Hollywood columnist, Jill indignantly tele
phoned him to complain about losing that "lovely old
car." They've dated together, and she has visited the old
homestead but no reconciliation has resulted. Yet when
somebody mentions that the Revcntlows are "legally sep
arated," Jill corrects them acidly: "We are not legally
separated. We simply are not living together."
The couple's friends believe a factor in their breakup
was Lance's return to auto-race driving. Earlier in their
marriage, he had given up competitive driving to design
and build racers for international events, but his much
lauded Scarab failed most tests, and it seems frustration
pushed Lance back behind the wheel. Jill's reaction to
his dangerous pursuit can be glimpsed in the way she ex
plains her "extrasensory perception."
"I know I have ESP," she says. "I used to be able to
tell Lance before a race how he would finish. He scoffed
at me at first, but later he came to believe me. I could
just sense what would happen." Then there is a tremor
as she adds quietly: "There are times when you don't
want to know what will happen."
Like Lance, Jill is a person of extraordinary intelli
gence (a rare 162 IQ as a student at UCLA) and curi
osity. She is a practicing expert in such diverse fields as
marine life and jewelry.
"I went to a gemmology school," she says, "because
I wanted to know about jewelry. Now my friends call me
'loupe eye' you know, after the glass a jeweler wears
in his eye. When one of our girl friends gets a new gem,
I'm nominated to scrutinize it I'll come back and whisper:
'A lovely sapphire, all right Probably a Borneo stone.
But the best come from Ceylon, you know.' "
JILL HAS A carborundum wheel at home and grinds her
own semiprecious stones. In a family weekly inter
view, she wore a turtle-shaped breast pin glittering with
diamond chips, a square-cut blue sapphire ring, and a
double strand of matched pearls. "Just something for the
afternoon," she explained.
Jill's ire rises at the suggestion that her rich hus
band bought her art and gems. She points out that
her father is a well-to-do retired restaurant owner; that
she herself has been gainfully employed since she was
six years old; and that at 21 she came into a packet of
government bonds which she "promptly blew for things
I like." Nowadays most of her collections are in vaults,
while Jill lives in a furnished Los Angeles apartment.
No matter how she resolves her rift with Lance Revent
low, Jill will harbor no bitterness toward matrimony.
"I certainly wouldn't want the life of a bachelor girl,"
she says. "I like belonging to one man, and I like one
man to belong to me."
She states this with the same self-assurance she uses
in discussing her career and very likely will meet per
sonal challenges with a resoluteness and intelligence
that has skyrocketed her as a film comedienne.
