IS MARRIAGE A HANDICAP?
TO FILM STAR. Can a film star keep on at her job and still preserve married happiness? The answer is “Yes” —according to Jeanette MacDonald and Myrna Loy. Jeanette—Mrs Gene Raymond—told a reporter: “If a woman has a career she owes it to her husband and family to continue with it. “Every woman should have at least one interest outside her home. The contracts she makes keep her mentally alert and interesting.” Myrna Loy, in private life Mrs Arthur Hornblow, Junr., (Mr Hornblow by the way has relatives in Masterton), thinks that the hardest part of the business is putting up with the penalties of stardom. “I receive letters from girls who envy my title of ‘star,’ ” she said. “They don’t realise that this title causes me to die a thousand deaths every time I witness a preview of my latest picture, or the fact that my life, night or day, isn’t my own for months before and during the shooting of the picture. “But if I had to do it all over again, well, I’d like to become a star.”
