THE
LADY AND THE TRAMP
Pageant
February 1960
The society queen on the preceding page and the come-on girl before you represent exaggerated aspects, respectively, of the off-screen and on-camera personalities of Lee Remick. A fresh 23-year-old, she is totally unlike the standard Hollywood star in possessing in tandem an easy but potent sex appeal plus marked ability as an actress. In films, Miss Remick has excelled in slut roles (notably in Anatomy of a Murder). In private life she is happily married to TV producer William Colleran and is clearly the product of a well-heeled environment. Consequently, the story angle on Lee Remick has been ad nauseam, “the good-bad girl,” “naughty but nice,” etc.
Miss Remick agreed to pose for Pageant’s larger-than-life-size portraits of two classic types, the lady and the tramp, in the hope that the result might be the story-to-end-all-stories on her dual personality. In any case, her hussy days may be numbered. Following a Broadway appearance in The Good Soup, she will go under the klieg lights again in a suspense thriller, Bunny Lake Is Missing. There she will portray a mother whose gentility will be at least within teacup distance of the real Mrs. Colleran.
