ROOM WITH A VIEW—OF HERSELF
A young actress sees her own TV performance for the first time
How busy can a young actress get? Well, beauteous, red-haired Julienne Marie has been so busy that she was a regular on CBS's nighttime serial, Our Private World, for almost a month before she got to see herself on television. It so happened that she was also appearing in the Broadway musical hit “Do I Hear a Waltz?”’, which kept her well occupied on the nights World was on the air.
What made Julienne doubly anxious to view Julienne: She had never seen herself on_ television. She had done only one other TV how, a Golden Showcase called “Tonight in Samarkand.” ‘’But,’” she said, “it was live, so | never got to see myself.”
Friends—some 21 days after World had premiered—finally moved a portable TV set into her dressing room in the 46th Street Theatre. Even then her viewing didn’t come easy. Since her dressing room was four flights up, she had to watch herself on the air for a few seconds as the impulsive, unhappy Eve Eldredge, then dash downstairs to become the impulsive, unhappy Jennifer Yaeger in “Waltz.” “What made it even tougher,” said Julienne, “I had already made that trip four times before the show came on the air.”
As for her reactions, just see the pictures bordering this page. “At first I was very anxious and nervous,” she said, “but then I was surprised and delighted to see that I wasn’t so bad. I would say to myself every time | would come on the screen, ‘Oh, who is that? What is she doing?’ I would never say, "What am I doing?’ It was*hard for me to believe the girl on the screen was actually me.”
