What does a performer do while waiting for cues? Ask
Mary Orr, but don't count on other players doing the same,
for not many have her varied talents. Miss Orr, be it known,
is a writer as well as a thespian and has combined her two
careers with unusual success. Her original story on which
the film "All About Eve" was based, won the 1950 Screen
Writer's Guild Award. She has also written four Broadway
plays, among them "Wallflower" and "Be Your Age," two
which were produced in London and numerous TV scripts
with her husband Reginald Denham, as well as many short
stories on her own for the top magazines. A Canton, Ohio
girl, she has been featured in such Broadway offerings as
"Three Men On A Horse," "Bachelor Born," "Jupiter
Laughs," "Wallflower" and most recently "Sherlock Holmes."
These days while waiting for her single yet very important
scene in "The Desperate Hours," she is writing a novel
which is already earmarked for publication.
