Hollywood
Film Shop
IfOLLYWOOD—W—It’s farewell
to youth these days for 18-
year-old Natalie Wood, who has
made as clean a break as possible
for a teen-ager bent on being an
adult. She gave up her girlish hair-
do and bobby socks.
This young woman is going to be
a femme fatale, she says. In any
event she no longer is interested
in what she calls ‘those nice-little-
girl-next-door parts.”
Her present role opposite James
Dean in Warners’ "Rebel Without
a Cause” indicates her program is
already in operation. It's an emo-
tion-packed portrayal — definitely
not next-door stuff.
Miss Wood would not let herself
think about this adult business un-
til she was sure she had made the
difficult transition from child act-
ress to mature roles. She thinks
she's lucky, for many child actors
have failed to make the transition
and have been forgotten.
"I was quite frightened about
my future,” she said. “Many pro-
ducers and directors think child
actresses never can grow up, you
know. They don’t want to give us
jobs."
Began at Four
Miss Wood began her acting ca-
reer when she was four years old.
She successfully avoided the period
when she might have been too
young for adult roles and too old
for child parts.
The spot opposite Dean delighted
the fragile-appearing, 92 pound pe-
tite actress who was chosen in 1947
by Parents Magazine the “most
talented juvenile actress of the
year.” This award, incidentally,
was followed in 1949 by her selec-
tion as “child star of the year”
by the Children's Day National
Council of New York.
“I saw James Dean in 'East of
Eden’,” she said. "I went home
and prayed that I could work with
him some day.
“I guess my prayers were an-
swered, because one day I was
tested for ‘Rebel.’ I was a bundle
of nerves for three weeks until I
was called and told I’d won the
part.”
Miss Wood’s plans to grow up
may not make everyone here as
happy as they apparently are mak-
ing her. It seems she has been
called “Hollywood’s daughter” be-
cause she has been cast as daugh-
ter to so many top actresses. And,
if she gets older, they don't get
any younger.

War Vet Defeats
Illness, Graduates
ROCHESTER, N. Y„ Aug. 9—up.
—Edward M. Waz, a Korean war
veteran, was a real inspiration to
his classmates during the last
three years at the University of
Rochester.
Waz, who entered the school at
the age of 26, graduated last June
after licking a siege of bulbar polio
that struck him during his sopho-
more year. He spent weeks in a
hospital fighting the disease, and
when he first tried to go back to
school his strength didn't hold out.
Then he took another crack at it
| eight months later.
Waz persuaded authorities to let
him attempt to complete his last
three years in two in the tough
field of physics — and he didn't
disappoint them. He also worked
steadily at a job, helping with the
university’s large cyclotron.
For a long time he spoke with
great difficulty, a result of his
polio attack. But now he talks with-
out impediment because of his
perseverance.
After Waz, married and the fa-
ther of two sons, earned his B. S.
in physics, he started work with
the Eastman Kodak company in
color technology. He plans to con-
tinue study toward a master’s de-
gree.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 9 -01V-
Miss America of 1955 says she will
stay single. Well, at least until'
she’s given her acting career a
real try.
Lee Ann Meriwether said that
romance is “a thing of the dis-
tant future—now all I want to do is
work hard at becoming an ac-
tress.”
. Although her reign as America’s
beauty queen is almost over, Lee
Ann says her lifetime dream is just
beginning. The 20-year-old San
Francisco State College student,
who left the classroom last year
for the hectic pace of tours and
personal appearances, said she
looks forward to crowning Miss
America of 1956.
That chore done, she can devote
her full time to her career.
A beauty with brains, Lee Ann
knows there is lots of hard work
ahead. But she received good crit-
ical notices, following one nation-
ally-televised appearance.
The beauty queen said she wants
to work on the stage not in the
movies. She already has turned
down three offers from Hollywood.
Having been Miss America will
help her, she said. It already has,
financially. The title was worth
a $5,000 wardrobe and $50,000 in
cash for endorsements and person-
al appearances.
It also has given her 112,000
miles of travel, and more citations
and more keys to cities than she
cares to count. Although she has
been photographed thousands of
times in the past year, she hasn’t
appeared in a bathing suit since
the contest. Pageant rules prohibit
bathing suit appearances.
But her friends say all the fame
hasn’t changed Lee Ann. She lives
with her handsome mother, Mrs.
Ethel Merriwether, in their modest
San Francisco home. She still joins
her friends for a soda, or a down-
town movie.
Come September, she will crown
her successor. But Lee Ann doesn’t
feel she will give away her future.
“Being Miss America opened a
big, wide door for me,” she said.
Through it, she hopes to walk to
stardom on Broadway.
