Tragedy Plagues Life
Of Star Gene Tierney
Editor' Note Few film star;
have been so dogged by tragedy
and misfortune as lovely Gene
Tierney, who is now starting on
the comeback trail. This is the
first of three articles.
By CYNTHIA LOWRY
WESTPORT. Conn. AP) -
"When I was ill. I thought that
my emotional life was over for
good, says Gene Tierney. "That
was not true. I'm well now, with
plenty of hope and plenty of
chance to find happiness."
Happiness to this beautiful
green-eyed woman means the op
portunity to resume her acting
career, to bring up her 10-year
old daughter in peace and sec
urity and, if the right man comes
along, to fall in love and marry
again.
For most mf the past three years,
Gene Tierney has been a patient
In two mental institutions. For six
or seven years before that, she
had been ill and because she de
terminedly ignored the symptoms,
grew constantly worse.

in good order, emerged from the
Menninger Clinic in Topeka, Kan.,
ready and eager to return to the
nation's motion picture and tele
vision screens and to pick up her
functions as mother and bread
winner. Behind her are almost 20 years
of personal tragedy heartbreak,
crisis and, curiously for a famous
and successful motion picture
star, failure. Ahead of her, she
feels strongly, lie the serene, pro
ductive years of her life. She is
now 38.
Gene's sultry, exotic beauty
shot her to stardom before she
was 20. In the 14 years between
mO and 1954 she made some 30
films, was rated one of Holly
wood's top box office names. Her
mental breakdown, however, can
not be scored as another black
mark against the West Coast film
city.
"My doctors say that my career
had absolutely nothing to do with
my illness," says Miss Tierney.
"They tell me I handled it as a
mature person."
Perhaps the most Important
lesson I had to learn was to ad
mit and accept defeat," she ex
plains. "In the other days I felt I
had to stand up to any situation
and take it. I felt I had to put
up with the impossible and try to
resolve it. I had to learn to say.
I can t solve that: I give up.
Hollywood, . however, provided
the dramatic background against
which Gene silently had secretly
fought a losing battle against the
steadily worsening illness. When
she finally surrendered, it was aft
er a scries of emotional blows
which, in succession, involved her
close relationship with her beloved
father, her first-born child and
her husband.
Still under age, but an impor
tant film star. Gene met, fell in
love and eloped to Las Vegas with
Oleg Cassini, now a famous New
York dressmaker but then a
struggling studio designer. An un
known then, Cassini was notable
for an obsolete White Russian title
inherited from his mother's fam
ily and the fact he had briefly
been the fourth husband of a rich
patent medicine heiress.
The elopement precipitated a
family crisis. The Tierneys had
been a well-to-do New York and
Connecticut family of some social
standing.
The marriage ended the guar
dianship of Tierney pere, and
quarrels about this and other mat
ters permanently alienated Gene
from him,

NORTHPOIIT, Mich. (AP)
When John N. Clancy was a boy
he had trouble saying his own
name. Today, at 59, he can reel
off polysyllabic words and com

the same.

the camp as one phase of its gen

How did he end his speech prob

'All I knew, says Clancy, ' was
that I had to experience overcom

The technique is used at the
speech camp.
Clancy spent 10 years as a busi
nessman following his graduation
from Notre Dame in 1921.
In 1931 his wife, Grace, agreed
to his dream of opening a camp
for kids with speech defects. The
couple made a down payment on
a' 26-acre site at Northport and
named it Shdy Trails .
During the first summer four
boys enrolled and total receipts
amounted to $925. Last year 85
boys were on hand and the camp
budget was $42,000. Some 1,600
boys in all have attended the
eight-week sessions.
Originally all camp activities
centered around a leased hotel
which had been abandoned during
the depression. Today 17 buildings
accommodate 90 boys.
Clancy, says the camp s primary
objective is to build confidence.
If a young fellow can t speak
right he loses confidence in prac
tically everything he does. We
emphasize sports at Shady Trails
and close contact with others who
have speech problems. We've
found that this helps build confidence.
Building confidence is what It
does. Each summer a group of
stuttering, stammering youths ar
rive. Each fall they go home with
a new hobby debating.

That's the BIG THING about the Buicks of today.
Almost anyone who's out to get a car can get a Buick, and
fit it into his budget with no struggle at all.
And a Buick is an awful lot of car ... as more than
4 million Americans will gladly tell you. This &9 Buick,
more than ever. It's THE car.
Never before, in fact, have new Buicks caught on so fast
with so many people. A success due in no small part
to buyers who switched to Buick '59 from other makes of

For in a Buick, you own the rightesl-Loolunfi car there is.
In a Buick, you take charge of the rigUcst-goutt

And in a Buick, whatever the price, yoa own wmeHiing
that belongs to Buick alone. You own an
