HOLLYWOOD—Gosh, Betty, I
said to Betty Hutton, where do
you get all that pep?
“Ten hours’ sleep a night and
two T-bone steaks a day.”
The bouncing, busty Incendiary
Blonde seemed pretty well burned
out for that day, though, and it
was my misfortune to be denied a
glimpse of her figure. She was
flowingly clad to the ground and
the wrists as a mid-Victorian
housemaid in “Perils of Pauline.”
“Let’s sit down,” she said as I
shook her hand as lingeringly as
was seemly. Her brown eyes were
underscored by fine lines.
"They tell me I should learn to
relax, but I just can’t,” Betty
moaned. “If I do, I lose my mo
mentum.”
I speculated that this twinkling
tempest takes vitamin pills. No.
Chocolate bars between scenes,
then?
“No, the only source of energy
is sleep and food.”
Betty’s in bed nightly by 8
o’clock, studies her next day’s
lines briefly, reads a chapter or
two of a book, takes a sleeping
pill and turns out the light. “Oh,
yeah, I have insomnia terribly—
my lines keep running through my
head.”
Up at 6 a.m., she drives to the
studio singing and bellows “Hi,
Joe!”—“Hiya, Mabel!” so loudly,
they tell me, she can be heard
across the lot.
Besides her luncheon and din
ner T-bones, Betty has an egg
nog in mid-morning and another
in mid-afternoon. Her only exer
i cise is the plenty she gets making
! a movie.
“And of course no drinking or
smoking when I’m on a picture,”
Betty added; “smoking cuts your
energy worse than anything."
My pipe suddenly tasted awful,
and tossed it into the nearest
ashcan. Got a smoke, bub?

Brian Donlevy, by the way,
hardly can wait to quit the weed.
In “Fandango” he’s a Russian sail
ing captain who strikes one match
a day, it light his first cigarette
upon arising, and keeps ’em going
chain-fashion till bedtime. “I’ve
been smokin’ three packages of
the king-size babies a day,” the
granite-jawed actor told me, grind
ing a slim holder in his teeth, “an’
by night my tongue feels cooked.”
They’re king-size to resemble Rus
sian smokes.

After nearly eight years Mischa
Auer finds himself still hopelessly
identified with a brief line he
made famous in "You Can’t Take
It With You.” The mobile-faced
Russian-born comedian stuck his
lower lip out a foot or two in a
despairing grimace and told me:
“I get into a cahb and the driver,
a total strahnger, will turn arahnd
and giggle and say, ‘Confidential
ly, it steenks’.”
