Tall Girl's Film Career
Hampered By Her Height

AP Motion Picture Writer
HOLLYWOOD (AP)-Constance
Towers, who has the dream as
signment of costarring with Wil
liam Holden and John Wayne,
should have been a star two years
ago.
One of the things that held her
back is that producers didn't have
the vision that some of the rest of
us had. Another is I beg your
pardon for this . that Connie
lowers.
She slands a delightful 5 feet
9 or 10 in high heels. Though she
has obvious qualities for stardom
a natural Bergmanesque beau
ty, blonde Kelly-like hair and a
rich voice that is all her own
her height was against her. Some
how, male stars don t like to look
up at their leading ladies.
Fortunately, Wayne and Holden
rise above her. Hence she quali
fied for the leading female role
in the five-million-dollar "Horse
Soldiers."
She plays a Southern belle who
spies on Yankee interlopers
Wayne and Holden and is kid
naped by them on their cavalry
march through the South.
Why hasn t she gotten to the top
faster?
It's a wonder to many who have
caught her on the supper club cir
cuit. I recall seeing her on the
closing night of the old Last Fron
tier Hotel in Las Vegas. She was
a knockout. But she couldn't get
anywhere in films.
Columbia brought her out here
after she made a hit in her first
big-time date as a singer at the
St. Regis in New York.
I did just one picture a
quickie with Frankie Laine," she
recalled. 1 didn t have much to do,
and Blake Kdwards, who was di
recting his first picture, didn't
have much time to devote to me.
The picture did nothing for me."
She asked lor her release and
got it. Then she went back to the
clubs.
Meanwhile, she studied dramat
ics and sang occasionally on TV.
Marty Rackin, who had pre
viously considered her for an Alan
Ladd film, remembered her when
he went independent with John
Lee Mahin. He introduced her to
director John Ford, the ardent fan
of Ireland and the Navy.
"It didn't hurt that he had
served with my uncle, who is an
admiral in the Navy, and that my
father was born in Dublin," Con
nie said.
Of the-500 actresses considered,
she was one of 10 who tested. She
won. And now, somewhat overdue,
she'll be a star.
Judge's Call
Halts Escapee
INDEPENDENCE, Mo. (AP)
Judge John R. James objected
Monday when two armed guards
were posted in his courtroom for
the trial of Karl Ward on a sec
ond-degree murder charge.
Ward wasn't going to run away,
said the judge, and there was no
need for the guns. Sheriff Arvid
Owsley argued that Ward was a
dangerous character, and the
judge agreed to let one deputy,
with pistol, remain.
Wednesday, as the jury deliber
ated Ward's case, he asked for
permission to step into a corridor
for a drink of water. Once there,
he broke for freedom. The judge.
at that instant walking down the
hall, shouted for him to stop.
"He stopped, looked at me and
walked back," Judge James said.
It's probable that Ward also
saw Deputy Clyde Hatfield's lev
eled gun when he stopped.
Ward, 41, of Tulsa, was con
victed of stabbing an airman and
sentenced to 12 years imprison
ment.

LOS ANGELES (AP) Judy
Garland, who said in an affidavit
last March that husband Sid Luft
had beaten and tried to strangle
her, has denied it on the witness
stand.
"I'd say he had a very good
disposition." the singer testified
Wednesday. She was helping Luft
resist the effort of his ex-wife
actress Lynn Barl, to regain cus
lody of the Luft-Bari son, John,
10.
Luft won custody last month on
grounds the youngster needed
home and family life instead of
living in a boarding school. Miss
Garland was subpoenaed to an
swer questions about the boy's
adjustment to life in the Luft
Garland home.
Miss Rari's lawyer picked up
the divorce complaint Miss Gar
land filed last March in which she
said in a sworn affidavit that Luft
had beaten and attempted to
strangle her.
"Has he ever attempted to
strangle you?" the attorney asked.
"No," the singer replied in a
low voice.
"Did he ever beat you?"
''No."
Miss Bari's present husband.
Dr. Nalhan Rickles, Beverly Hills
psychiatrist, testified earlier to
a telephone exchange wilh Luft
when the boy was being prepared
io go to the Luft home. He said
Luft called him an unprintable
name and sain it the child wcrenl

At
C e n t u r y-Fox commissary for
lunch, Diane looked a perfect
ragamuffin, the antithesis of such
studio glamour girls as Jayne
.Mansfield and Joan Collins.
Diane was wearing faded, skin
tight blue denim trousers,
blotched by rust from the rivets,
Her hair was disheveled, her
nails unpolished and her bare
feet ensconced in Japanese san
dals. She wore no makeup nut
even lipstick as she sat cross
legged at the table.
"I'm not interested in superfi
cialities," she explained in a
quiet voice.
"Fancy clothes . and makeup
take too much time. I only take
time for things I think are im
portant. Therefore I'm quite in
considerate of my appearance
and superficial opinions other
people might have."
Diane and the late, tousled
haired Dean have other traits in
common. Both were nominated
for Academy Awards Diane for
her first role in "Peyton Place.'
Like Dean she also fights studio
dictates. Lntil recently she was
under suspension by Fox for re
fusing to accept a Ioanout.
"I don't like being compared to
Jimmy," she went on. "I never
met him. But I want to be orig
inal. That's how I think."
Diane rubbed her shiny nose
with the back of her hand and
nibbled at a piece of French
bread. Before answering ques
tions she burrows deeply into her
thoughts.
Asked the reason for this, she
said, "I only went to high school
for one year, and I like to think
about things.
"I m undisciplined about my
reading. Right now I'm studying
anthropology and reading some
books on plants and things."
When Diane quit high school
she struck out on a "pilgrimage
to find myself." In the process
she worked as an apple picker,
restaurant hostess, model, sales
girl and on an assembly line In
a candle factory.
Diane has been married twica
and lives along with her 2-year-old
son, Shawn. She divorced her
second husband, James Dickson,
last August.
"My days are filled with house
work and taking care of Shawn,"
she said. "I don't even own a tel
evision set. Never saw more than
12 hours of TV in my whole life.
I haven't the time for it.
"I've been a rebel since I was
12 years old. I was rebelling
against the way I was treated
and things I didn't like. Even at
that age I thought conforming
would annihilate my very exist
ence. When people ask me why
I don t conform, I ask them,
conform to what ?
Currently starring in "-Compul
sion," Diane says "I am trying
to commit myself as fully as I
can to the role" a character
istic well known to Dean's asso
ciates.
