HOLLYWOOD, Jan. 15 (UP) The hardest thing about being a

‘movie star is taking that same

old orange juice and coffee for breakfast 365 days of the year. That is the word from Ann Bothern’s maid, Marie, who has watched over Miss Sothern's problems for 14 years and finds that keeping away from a doughnut is the biggest. : “She hates to diet,” confided

Marie, “but she has to. Shé begs

for a piece of toast but I rush her the trade papers and hope she'll forget about it.” Rising Hard for Her The second biggest problem 1s getting up in the morning. A movie star usually has to be on the set by 7 a. m.

“She’s never late,” bragged Marie, “and she always knows her lines.”

Miss Sothern is mighty fussy about her clothes and makeup when she's working on a picture. But after she finished acting with
