“Two1 strike against you, Becky!”
all her friends warned Becky Baer (1)
when she decided to try her hick in
Hollywood. Reason: Becky looks
startlingly like Myrna Loy (2), and
resmblance to a famous star is usual-
ly considered a handicap. Becky just
smiled and went ahead, a plan in her
head. The plan worked, too. Becky
stood in the lobby of a major studio’s
administration building one morning,
and spoke to 'everyone. As she had
hoped, some executives were among
the ones she greeted, and one return
ed her greeting. It was Director
Howard Hawks, who noticed the re
semblance to Myrna Loy, investigat
ed, and about a week later Becky,
now Gwen Baypr for the movies,
signed for a part in Ginger Rogers’
next film, “Having a Wonderful
