Why Miss Greco won't go to Hollywood
DOMINATING Broadway today is a poster which reads in letters
50 ft. high: "Juliette Greco: a new kind of woman excitement is here." Which is the kind of billing that Diana Dors dreams about at night; and for which most actresses would gladly trade their precious silver minks. Happily Miss Greco is making a fim at Pinewood at the moment so I drove down the other day to ask how it felt to be plastered all over New York.
I found her curled up in her dressing-room thinking a glass of Beaujolais and making dents in an omelolie with a fork, Her hair looked as if it had been styled with an egg, beater and she was wearing sweather and jeans. Wer feet were bare.
She told me what she thought of the poster,
"When I saw a photograph of it," she wild, "I nearly died lambliblg. I was sure Darrel Zanuck must have paid for it—but in fact he didn't. What do you think it means. . .A new kind of woman excitement?”
I told her I'd hate to even hazard a guess, and she didn't press the point. Instead she kept
on making dents in the omelette
"I hear talk," I said, "of your marrying again. How do you feel about it?" (She wag once. wed to French actor Phillipe Lemaire.)
The very thought of it makes me feel like an oyster siter lernon Julce has been squeezed on it," she said.
HE CAN EXPECT HELP
This, I felt, was hardly likely to enthuse her great and good friend Darryl Zanuck. For ever sinco he met her Zanuck has been near to her side, and gone flat out to make Greco en international star. And not only through his own plctures.
If another producer wants her, he can expect help, suggestions and advice from Zanuck--whether * it be over the script or the costing or the cutting.
