Being stepped on by an ele-
phant is not usually part of an
actress' training — especially
when the actress weighs just
80 pounds.
But that’s just what hap-
pens to the four-foot-five-inch
Quinn Cummings when she
works with a herd of pachy-
derms on “The 4th Annual
Circus of the Stars,” to be
rebroadcast Thursday, Aug.
21, on CBS.
“It’s only afterwards that
you begin thinking about how
really dangerous it is,” said
Miss Cummings. “I knew that
Mardji was trained to move
over me in a certain way, and
I had complete confidence in
her. You have to have confi-
dence because an elephant
can feel if you are nervous.
That could cause it to prance
and step on you. I also learned
that the trainer moves to
accommodate the elephants,
because they will not move to
accommodate the trainer.”
In order to get the ele-
phants to respond to her, she
explained, “I first had to
make friends with them. I fed i
them apples and lemon drops.
They became my friends.
Actually, elephants are very
simple to work with. They
learn a certain routine, and
all you do is call out the steps.
You just hope they learned
their routine well.”
Pretty, brown-eyed Miss
Cummings has been doing
rather well, too. When she was
just eight years old, James
Wong Howe, the noted cine-
matographer, called her a
“natural” and introduced her
to show business. She hasn’t
stopped working since. She
was nominated for an Acade-
my Award for her role in
“The Goodbye Girl” and was a
regular on “Family.”
