Biography
It was great fun--at least most of it was. I'm certainly glad I did it, although I don't miss acting or Hollywood. I still have pretty clothes and I meet celebrities . . . I think that's glamorous. I hope there's no one out there feeling sorry for me, because I love my life.

My awkward age didn't arrive 'til I was eighteen. By that time, everyone at Paramount regarded me as their kid-sister. When I became eighteen, the boys up front still thought of me as that pink-cheeked youngster they'd known so long. They considered me too young for ingénue roles, too young for glamor roles, and too young for romance. I didn't do anything. E...

My awkward age didn't arrive 'til I was eighteen. By that time, everyone at Paramount regarded me as their kid-sister. When I became eighteen, the boys up front still thought of me as that pink-cheeked youngster they'd known so long. They considered me too young for ingénue roles, too young for glamor roles, and too young for romance. I didn't do anything. Everyone thought I was old hat.

My public image was the kind of girl you bring home to mother.
My public image was the kind of girl you bring home to mother.
I see no barrier between family and career. I had my children in the past five years and think I can achieve the proper separation. I don't burden my husband with every detail of stagecraft. I try to be instinctive about raising my children. I try to hear what they're not saying. It's working out. They're nice; they're happy; they've got manners

Acting was my own decision, a kind of rebellion. I loathed playing piano for people and I always have. I was so young when I started; I was used and exploited, and I didn't have the courage or the brains to say 'no' to the use of whatever talents I had.

Diana Lynn
She was a child prodigy and pianist at age 10, and her first movie role was as one of the children in "They Shall Have Music" (1939), in which you see her playing the piano. She made another movie using the name Dolly (a short version of her real name (Dolores) in "There's Magic in Music" (1941). She signed a long-term contract with Paramount in 1942 and had her name changed to Diana Lynn. She had good roles in "The Major and the Minor" (1942) and "The Miracle of Morgan's Creek" and "Our Hearts Were Young and Gay" (both 1944). She had fewer roles as she matured; she did do "Bedtime for Bonzo" (1951) but had a nice career on TV shows. She died of a stroke when she was making a comeback in film. Her first marriage was from 1948 to 1954 to architect John C. Lindsay (no children); then on December 6,1956, she married Mortimer C.Hall, president of L.A. radio station KLAC. His mother was Dorothy Schiff, then publisher of the New York Post. She had four children with him between 1958 and 1964. They moved to New York City so he could assume a post on his mother's paper. She passed away on December 17, 1971, of a stroke/brain hemorrhage in Los Angeles.
