But how many end up being tucked between Loretta Young's silken sheets by the pin-curled, cold-creamed star herself? Jill Schary did. And now, as 27-year-old Jill Schary Zim-mer, daughter of movie producer-playwright Dore Schary, she has written a book about growing up in the Hollywood melee. "With A Cast of Thousands A Hollywood Childhood" is a child's-eye view of celebrities, Hollywood status symbols, and one rather extraordinary family. Jill Schary and the younger Schary offspring, Joy and Jeb, found it painfully embarrassing, as children of the onetime head of R.K.O. and M-G-M, to be dropped off at school by a chauffeur.

Yet they envied any schoolmate who showed up in a flashier limousine, with a cuter chauffeur. Jill thought just about everyone had a projection room in his" home, where he could watch movies on Sunday evenings, sometimes with guests like a young senator who required a straight chair for his bad back.

"With A Cast of Thousands" is cleverly written and, for the most part, entertaining. Perhaps its best moments are when the author describes, not the celebrities, but Anychild's world: where his or her bedroom was light and airy in the daylight, but where "at night, the curtains looked like cobwebs, the trees outside moved in an eerie ballet, and the whole house seemed to lurk about me." The subject is a bit too frothy to sustain interest for 252 pages, expecially when the author gets carried away on political bandwagons or the subject of Daddy.

The book is as ephemeral as that state of mind called Hollywood, which it tries to capture. Edward G. Robinson, Don Hart-man, Spencer Tracy. Reality for the eldest Schary offspring was Grandma, who wore Paisley scarves and loved boiled chicken and exposed Jill to a Hollywood taboo, riding a trolley car. This brush with the public launches the author on a sociological sketch of KNOWING ONE'S PLACE in Hollywood society: from where one's beach house should be to what streets one should be seen on driving to work.

Jill's education even bore the stamp of her unique environment. She began with a private school and had Jane Fonda and Maria Cooper as classmates, spent about a year in a public school, then attended coed Ethan Allan Country School where "it seemed that I was unique because my parents were still married to each other." rtt tygoers and their nurses, each trying to outdress, outgive, and out-name-drop the other. Jill was just as impressed with movie stars, often her father's employees, as any teen-ager.
