One Star Prefers Not To Win Oscar Terry Moore Feels Award Is. A Jinx HOLLYWOOD ftp — Terry Moore, up tor an Oscar this year, announced today \she’S one nominee who doesn’t want to win. She hjnks a victory is a jinx. Other thespians nominated in the Oscar derby have been bustling about Movietown wearing politics’ smi’cs and vote hcpes. Bu’_ Terry, Who has a talent for speaking up at the unexpected moment, declares she doesn’t give a hang, whether she totes home a goki statuette. “1 wanted to be nominated tor supporting actress, but I don’t particularly want to \ win.” explained the shapely actress, to whom this viewpoint is very logical. \ ‘I think it'sl a jinx. Most people remember, who was nominated — but who ever rememh?rs who won in tne supporting category? 1 net most people can’t remember who aon test year.” : Teiry was “really thrilled,” she sighed blissfully, whet she snared a nomination for her portrayal of an overheated college girl “Come Back, Little Sheba.” ‘She modertly thinks that’s enough honor for the yeur. .- ; - ; j ’ : | The final voting has ended, so it’s safe to say that now, anyway. She insists she won’t mind if one of her competitors—Gloria Grahame, Thelma Ritter, : Jean Hagen or Colette Marchand —is called to the stage of the pantages Theater Thursday night to receive tue Academy award. •What happens t.o the winners? Katina Taxinou w„n a supporting Oscar, and Mercedes McCambridge, and where did it get them? Kim Hunter won last year and hasn't done a movie placer she said. Dean JaaggeV; a supporting acta’ winner, once complained he couldn’t get,work for months because movie makers figured h?u accept only award-type roles. 1 J \ Big-eyed Terry added she’d be happy to some qay win the top Oscar, for best actress. • But that honirs has not brought . celluloid luck tc som£_of its .winners,’either. I i Ronald' Coleman hasn’t appeared in a picture sin -e he won the best acto: award in he became a radio, star. Btoderiek Crawfpid hasn’t topped his “All the King’s Men”r role that- won him the I Academy award. Luise Rainier won two awards and hasn’t worked . in pictures since. A ! list of past winners shows many a name not active in Holly] wood now—Paul Lukas, Paul ,Muni, Robert Donat* and Fred<r|c March. 1 More than 4,000,000 trees and shrubs wore planted on 4,000 surface mined acres in Pennsylvania in 1951 by cpal operators, while tjie Pennsylvania Department of Forests and Waters planted more than a million trees and shrubg on 800 affected areas.
