Her mother, Rebecca Welles, Gus-' younger sister, has made a name for herself over the past seven years as the designer of exuberant, madly feminine casual clothes. "When we were children, my sister and I used to be the best-dressed girls in school," says Gwen, who is here for a brief visit between films.

"She used to sew at night. She even made suede coats, and she used to cover our shoes with fabric to match our clothes. When my uncle first went into business she did his sample' collections for him." Her own first job when she was 17 was selling dresses at Paraphernalia. Even then she didn't plan to become an actress, but she started tagging along with her friends to acting classes 'at night, and from then on everything has been smooth sailing.

There are other reasons, according to Richard Perry, a producer-recording director who is traveling with her. "Just say we're keeping company," he says of their relationship.

"She is a very ambitious girl," Richard goes on. "When she isn't actually working on a film, she is always studying or going to classes." On her own since she was 17, Gwen is resting just now.
