Chicago drama school, her father con-
vinced her mother it was all right. Later
he encouraged her to go to New York to
study acting.
Geraldine was 27 at the time and had
10 years of summer stock and little thea-
ter to her credit. But that wasn't enough
to get her a job on Broadway, To support
herself even meagerly proved rough— .
which she didn't mind then or in retro-
spect. "Sure, I went without meals and my
teeth always needed fixing, but frankly
I had a marvelous time," she recalls.
Geraldine wound spools in a thread;
factory, clerked in a bookshop, ushered at
a theater, spent evenings as a hat-check
girl, and modeled lingerie for Mamma
Weinberg, who fired her almost every other
day because Geraldine’s mind usually was
concentrating harder on trying to memo-
rue lines for an of-Bro adway performance ■
than on the numbers of the negligees she
was supposed to wear.
ing back to her apartment, she ran into a
i tall, blond man whom she had known at
drama school in Chicago.
r . : “Don't you remember me?” she cried
out. He hesitated a moment. “You used to
date one of my girl friends." Geraldine
I explained He remembered Hu name was
i Joed Quintero, and luckily for Geraldine,
I he was on his way to becoming a famous
theatrical director.
i Thereafter Geraldine spent as much
time as she could at Quintero's Circle in
i the Square Theater, hoping for a chance

Her parents had very different attitudes
toward life As Geraldine recalls it:
"Mother was the disciplinarian; she firmly
believed in the old motto. Eat it up, wear
it out. make it do As a result. I still have
every bit of clothing I’ve accumulated
since I came to New York Father was
more of a nonconformist To,him. formal
educatioh was a lot of nonsense As a re-
sult. I was more inclined to cut short such
education and concentrate on acting "

likely movie star.
Geraldine has received her third Aca-
demy Award nomination—this time for
"Sweet Bird of Youth"—and has a better
than 50-50 chance of getting her first
Oscar this year Yet she doesn't look like
a star, deesn’t dress, talk. or live like one.
Wen I met her, she wore low heels, as
she usually does (she is five feet, eight
inches tall and quite conscious of her
height >. Her speech is a slow, sweet,
almost Southern drawl that belies her
Midwestern upbringing, and she seems
prouder of her partly furnished apartment
in New York’s Greenwich Village than
most Hollywood stars are of their gran-
diose mansions in Beverly Hills.
To my immediate recollection, Geraldine
also is the only actress over 21 whose
official biography gives her complete birth
date- Nov 22. 1924 Her birthplace was
Kirksville, Mo., but when Geraldine was
five, her father Dr Leon Page, an osteo-
