MELVIN SOKOLSKY







The brash and fearless beauty – looking life as square-in-the-eye as a gunslinger – faces her fashion fortune without a quiver, looks great as all outdoors by day; goes full tilt into make-up, fantastic necklaces and rufflings of organdie by night. From the top of her shining head to her well-shaped foot, the brash beauty is heart-whole and candid, entirely and enticingly, unselfconscious, dashingly willing to be her self and be utterly attractive about it.

In
Praise
of
Black Sheep

Dylan Thomas

Much-loved black sheep, Dylan has been the subject of a lot of lachrymose gabble. It was partly his own fault of course; he thoroughly enjoyed his legend, and even blackened his own fleece a bit. There were at least four Dylan’s: the domestic, the creative, the public and the private.

Yvette Mimieux
SAUL LEITER







Yvette Mimieux, already noted for her subtle performance in The light in the Piazza, will soon be seen as the dancing princess in MGM’S The Wonderful World of the Brothers Grimm, the first feature film to be shot in Cinerama. Her fragile blossom beauty is complemented here by Yardley’s Sun Peach lipstick.



Barbra Streisand
DON HUNSTEIN

Nineteen-year-old Barbra Streisand, the delightful comedienne making her Broadway debut as Miss Marmelstein in Jerome Weidman’s musical I Can Get It For You Wholesale. Her long fluid legs and wistfully whining voice, reminiscent of Fanny Brice, are the laugh of the show.
