"SKIN DEEP BEAUTY”“” "The most beautiful woman on or off the screen is Pauline Fre derick," states Stephanoff. "And I have never made her up. The most beautiful example of the art. of make-up and photography com- bined the finished product of our art on the screen, is Ann Harding. I think Joel McCrea is the hand- somest man on the screen, with Gary Cooper a, close second.

"But my ideals may differ from those of others. My idea of beauty in a woman is not a skin deep beauty; something must shine out of her soul to make her beautiful. And a handsome man, to my way of thinking, is a virile man, Joel McCrea and Gary Cooper look and act the same off the screen as they do on, and because they are real men in real life they stand out on the screen."

Stephanoff willingly names the hardest and easiest stars he has worked on during his years in the business,
