FAVORITE PICTURE That picture, Natalie's favorite, was the great booster for her career. It proved her talent and made her a teenagers favorite. More important, it made her potent at the boxoffice always the deciding factor in any Hollywood casting conference. She's a star with Karl Maiden and Efrem Zimbalist Jr. in the upcoming "No Sleep Til Dawn." At the moment, "Marjorie Morningstar" is Warner's big picture of the year.

When Natalie finishes that, she goes to Europe to make "Kings Go Forth" With Frank Sinatra and Tony Curtis. How about Elvis Presley and his motorcycle. "I don't date Elvis anymore but I talk to him occasionally. Just say that I have graduated from the rear seat of Elvis' motorcycle to the deck of Bob Wagner's yacht. We go fishing all the time." "The bandleaders themselves are to blame," he says.

"Bands nowadays are just downright dull. They like to blame it on the kids but kids are just as anxious to dance now as they were in the thirties. That accounts for the popularity of rock roll. The kids like it because it has a beat something that every band had in the old days. "All the band business needs now is a pied piper, like Goodman, Miller or the Dorseys, to lead kids back into the ballrooms." Colleen Miller mer of the quintet and himself a BMI affiliated composer, wrote four selections especially for "Sweet Smell of Success." Also due for immediate release by Decca is "Goodbye Baby" from the same picture, written by Elmer Bernstein.

The song introduces a new singer, Mark Murphy. Another single release is Bernstein's instrumental, "The Street," based on the theme melody of "Sweet Smell of Success," backed with his "Toots IIIWAY 54 age but mostly they are not.

It's all part of the crazy business they're in.

Natalie has been an actress since she was four but, as veteran movie men report, never a spoiled child star. She credits her mother and father for this. "When I was between pictures," she says, "I always went to school with the other kids in the block. I used to work with kids whose mothers wouldn't let them associate with others, for fear they would pick up slang expressions and ruin their diction. "My mother never has been the typical stage mother.

I never felt I was forced into acting. I always thought it was fun and still do." KEPT WORKING Through the years, Natalie has never stopped working. Even in the awkward adolescent stage, she did a television series for a year where she played that age. By a twist of fate she now occupies the dressing room of the star who she believes befriended her the most. "I did a picture with Miss Davis called 'The she recalls.

"Everybody told me 'Watch out for Bette, she's tough on child actresses. However, Natalie says she found cess," starring Burt Lancaster, is the latest motion picture to find its sound track used as a source for popular music recordings. SUrrjl; Rock Hudson.
