By Randolph S. Churchill GLORIA GRAHAME has never eloped with an eastern prince, dallied with a maharajah, or brawled with a crooner. Unlike some of the celebrated ex-maidens of the Hollywood village her claim to fame is based entirely on what she has done in films.

Fortunately she has done the right things—or more correctly the wrong things in the right way. She has been establishing herself as one of the best exponents of captivating badness in the business.—MR. LOGAN GOURLAY in Lord Beaverbrook's Sunday Express, August 9, 1953.

INTO LONDON this. week comes Hollywood's Bad Girl No. I. blonde, grey-green-eyed Gloria Grahame.

Unlike some of the celebrated ex-maidens of Hollywood, Gloria has never eloped with an eastern prince, dallied with a maharajah or brawled with a crooner. Her claim to fame is based on what she has done on celluloid.

Fortunately she had done the right things : although it would be more correct to say she has done the wrong things in the right way. In the process she established herself as one of the best exponents of captivating badness in the business.—MR. KEN SMITH in Lord Kemsley's Sunday Chronicle, July 3, 1955.
