Jean Harlow's Double In Australian Play
TtTARY. DEES, the American actress who is appearing in Australia and New Zealand with “The Women,” was born in Alabama, but is a Californian by long residence. She looks like Jean Harlow as she was seen on the screen, and is the same height, weighs the same, and wears her hair in a similar platinum blonde bob. “I want to forget the Harlow angle and build up an acting individuality of my own,” she says. This has led her to abandon film work temporarily for .the theatre. Her role in “The Women” is her first stage venture. Miss Dees is insistent on describing herself as “double” and not “stand in” to Jean Harlow. “Those are two entirely different things,” she says. “A stand-in does not necessarily resemble a star, but, naturally, a double must, and is a very necessary person. All stars of importance have doubles who substitute for them when they are ill to avoid hold-ups in the production of the film.”
