Teen-Age World
And Filmdom Find
Fresh Cinderella
By Hal Boyle
NEW YORK UR — The teen-age
world —- and filmdom — have
found a fresh Cinderella in 15
year-old Sue Lyon.
Sue, whose ruinious blonde
beauty is only slightly marred by
a rash of adolescent pink chin
pimples, is living proof that baby
sitting is not a deadend career.
"As a baby sitter the least I
made was 50 cents an hour, and
the most I made was $1.75 — when
I sat six children," confied Sue,
star of the controversial film
"Lolita."
Miss Lyon, who never took a
real acting lesson in her life, is
currently signed to a seven-year
contract that will springboard her
from $225 a week to $78,000 a
year — and maybe much more.
The movie moguls who picked
Sue Lyon from nowhere are wring
ing their hands with joy.
It cost them about $1.5 million
to make “Lolita,” the story of a
middle-aged professor’s obsessed
love for a nymphet. But they con
fidently expect it will ring up
$10 million or more at the box
office.
Sue had performed only two
small television roles when she was
picked over hundreds of appli
cants to portray “Lolita.”
The swift transition from anony
mity to stardom has left an inevit
able mark on one so young. She;
swings from naivete to an almost j
breathless sophistication. One mo
ment she talks like the girl next
door — and the next moment like
Tallulah Bankhead.
She now has the same hairdress
er and the same clothes designer
as Jacqueline Kennedy. A
But success has its price. She
has to ration her chocolate sodas
and lobster casseroles.

she said wistfully.
Sue also said the morning after
the premier of her maiden film
performance:
“I’m not worried about ever
being out of work again. I was so
excited I read the reviews 60
times.
“I hope this doesn’t make any
real difference in my life. I’m as
happy as I am.
“I just stopped biting my nails.
“I adore Marlon Brando, Jewish
food and baseball.
“I think television is a terrible
waste of time for the American
teen-ager.
“I wear my hair half-up and
half-down and with bangs — be
cause foreheads aren’t pretty. I
always wear a velvet bow, and I
make the bows myself.
“I cook, clean and sew. My upper
lip vibrates when I’m nervous.
“At this point I want to be an
actress, have a happy marriage
and Jtiildren. But I think marriage
is the most important thing in life
to a woman, whether she is a wait
ress or an actress or a ditch digger
—or anything.
“The reason I want a lot of
children is that it is a maveious
thing to grow up in a big family
and know that all of them love
you.
“I used to sing in the church
choir. Math is my favorite subject
—I got 96.5 in algebra.
“My favorite poet is Edna St.
Millay. Sometimes I cry when I
read poetry. I like any film that
has a happy ending.
“No, I’m not going steady now.
I did for a while, but I decided it
was like having clamps on.
“I don’t know what I’ll do next.
I’ve only played one part, so I’ve
got a long way to go before I run
out of things to do.
“I’ve never been. in a hot rod,
or ridden on the buddy seat of a
motorcycle.”
She is the youngest of five chil
dren. Her father died when she was
10 months old.
STRIKING ENGINEERS
GROUNDS EAL TRAFFIC
WASHINGTON Wt — Striking
flight engineers of Eastern Air
Lines passed up today a negotiat
ing session set up in New York
by federal mediators, but offered
to talk in Washington instead.
Official pressure for settlement
of that dispute and others like it
built higher with talk in infuential
quarters shout possible legislation
for compulsory arbitration.
The la; t move was initiated by
chairmar V. S. Mike Monroney,
of the Senate Aviation Subcom
mittee. He called Secretary of
Labor Arthur Goldberg to his of
fice for a discussion of what Mon
roney called jurisdictional strikes
on the air carriers.
The dispute, that has grounded
Eastern since Saturday threatens
to stop Pan American World Air
ways and barely missed shutting
down Trans World Airlines last
week, is jurisdictional. The big is
sue is who shall have the third
seat in the cockpit when the air
lines cut the crews on their big
planes from four men to three by
combining the jobs of the third
pilot and the engineer.
EAL, the second biggest domestic
air carrier with nine million pas
sengers a year, shut down Satur
day when the engineers walked
out, furloughing 18,000 employes
and leaving thousands of travelers
to find other passage.
Pan American, the biggest U:S.
overseas line with four million
passengers a year, is flying after
a brief walkout Saturday, but its
engineers are working under a
court order effective only until a
hearing Tuesday afternoon.
