Small wonder that Shelley regards frumpy roles as her best ones. They always have been thus far. By contrast, when she has played a glamour puss, the result has not alwajs been to set the world afire.

During Shelleys current portrayal Tlie Diary of Anne Frank, actor husband Tony Franciosa has neither been out of mind nor out of sight, even though he is in Rome doing a picture with Ava Gardner. Each day for weeks, as Shelley has driven into or out of tlie studio, she seen a bigger-than-lifc billboard picture of her husband making love to Lee Remick in The Long, Hot Summer." Right now, Shelley Winters needs a publisher. To any presti-, gious national magazine she offers an authoritative article of her own composition and bearing her by-line, about the screen's bright new discovery Millie Per-kin's, who debuts in the title role of Anne Frank. Shelley offers in advance to give any money she receives for this labor of love (which it would be to Slielley) to the Anne Frank Foundation or similar fund set up to perpetuate the name of tlie little Dutch-Jcw-ish girl who was heroine and CHRISTOPHER PLUMMER end Gypsy Rose Lee ore starred in the new Worner Bros, motion picture release "Wind Across the Everglades" written by Budd Schulberg and filmed in WornerColor in Florida.

Doris thinks this intimate, self-critical study is a healthy situation and one that has helped bring about the new approach to the craft.
