& IN CHARLIE CHAPLIN‘S picture, „The Dictator,“ Paulette

Goddard will play scrub girl and will conceal her chic

under a cheap high-necked dress. Chaplin is said to be set

on her playing the role without a bit of make-up;

in fact, he has offered her a bonus if she will comply with his

wishes. Miss Goddard – generally believed to be

Mrs. Chaplin – uses no make-up on the street except lipstick,

and when she made her big test for the role of Scarlett

in „Gone With the Wind“ – and which she didn‘t get, Director

and water. While screen make-up covers up many defects

and wrinkles, it also detracts something from

youthfulness and freshness.

takes one look and advises you that he fell in love with

a brunette, that you looked much better to him

as nature had intended. What would you do? Go on being

a blonde because you didn‘t want to spoil him

by surrender?

      Paulette Goddard had that happen to her. She went

blonde and Mr. Chaplin went critical. She returned to her natural coloring. And I agree with Chaplin.

      I like her better that way.“ (...)
