Here's how she tells it: "About two years ago I was working in New York as a model. We were shooting a layout for Show magazine, something called Girl with a Goal. One of the caption-writers asked me what I wanted to be, and I honestly told him, 'An It happened to be the truth. I've been stage-struck ever since I was a kid.

I acted in school plays, amateur theatricals, TV programs. "Anyway," she continues, "this fellow looked at me and sadly shook his head. 'Every model in the he said, 'wants to become an actress. Surely, you can dream up something So I told them I like to ride horses, which I do, but having been raised in Brooklyn, how much horse-riding can you do in Brooklyn? But they ran a big article on how I loved horses, how more than anything else in life I wanted to become a famous equestrienne, a great horsewoman riding in Madison Square Garden. It was funny, and of course it was nonsense.

But the two pictures of me which the magazine ran caught the eye of Mel Tucker. I believe he's the assistant production chief at Universal." Tucker says that he was attracted by "the natural, nonmanufactured composure" in Rosemary's face and called her photos to the attention of his boss, Edward MuhJ. Muhl in turn called his casting head to set up a screen test for the girl. "One afternoon," Rosemary recalls, "my agent phoned and told me to go see Alice Boatwright. She's Universal's talent representative in New York.

She talked to me, and a little while later I flew to Hollywood, where I tested opposite a young actor named Peter Mann. "The studio thought I showed promise but needed training, so they shipped me back to New York, where I studied technique and method under Wynn Handnian." Rosemary also appeared with Art Carney in summer stock and acted in eight TV dramas, including two Defenders programs. Universal then brought her back to Hollywood and tested her again to determine her improvement. "We felt," says one executive Who needs Jet Dry?

In this business it's the public who makes the stars, not the studios. All we can do is to give a kid an opportunity. So we put Rosemary in Shenandoah. The picture hasn't been released yet, so we don't know what the public reaction will be. But I can tell you this.

On the basis of a couple of sneak previews, the audience seems to like Rosemary. Men go for her, and because her sex appeal isn't obvious, she doesn't antagonize the women. So the kid has a pretty good chance. "She's no great shakes as an actress, but in this business we don't need any great actresses, we need new personalities." Walter Seltzer, producer of Warlord, remembers that when he was casting his production, "the studio gave me some film on Forsyth to take to Rome. I was on my way there to talk to Charlton Heston, who was then working on The Agony and the F.cstacy.

Heston has the right to approve his leading lady, and one night we ran the film. "Rosemary looked very beautiful," he continues, "but we didn't think she could play an 1 lth-century virgin who on her wedding night is suddenly taken from her husband by warlord Charlton Heston. So I told the studio she didn't fill the bill. tip Ss Bei'witp "Then when I came back from Rome I was having lunch in the studio commissary one afternoon. I saw her in person for the first time a handsome, freckled well scrubbed girl, so youthful-looking, so fresh; she radiated such wholesome innocence.

That's the girl I need for I said to myself. So we signed her, paid her 1,500 a week and she did a great job for us," Rosemary Forsyth was born in Montreal her Scottish father was a member of the Royal Canadian Air Force at the time but she was raised in Brooklyn, her mother's hometown, after her parents were divorced and her mother subsequently married a dentist. Dr. Arch Winick. Dr.

Winick died of a brain tumor a few months ago, but Rosemary always refers to him as "my father," never her step-father. Her natural father, David Forsyth, is now a disc jockey on an Erie, radio station, "but I never see him, and insofar as I'm concerned, Dr. Winick is the only father I remember." Until a few months ago Rosemary's mother, a tall, strikingly beautiful woman, was one of New York's top models under her maiden name, Rosemary Collins. It was she who introduced her daughter to the modeling profession after she finished her schooling in Stockbridge, Mass. Of Rosemary, her mother proudlv savs, "I always knew that she would make it.

As a child she had determination, energy, Ifks, great perseverance and drive. As far back as I can remember Rosemary has ahvavs wanted to act. What I would like best for her to do is to become an established actress, sort of like Grace Kelly, then meet a gocd. reliable man. get married, quit the business and have 40 children."
