There was a seven-foot cake. There was champagne. The press was there in force and so were scores of film people. After almost two hours of posing for the press, smiling and greeting her guests, Jean crept out on the stairs and cried. She was just plain tuckered out. She had been up at 5 am. for work at Pinewood Studios and had already celebrated her birthday at an afternoon tea party with her boss, J. Arthur Rank, and his top executives. Her birthday present from the Rank organiiation was an increase in salary of £6,000 ($18,600) bring- ing her salary to nearly £20,000 a Jean left the Odeon publicity party to celebrate with actor Stewart Granger. They made a sur- prise visit to the 21 Club, Chester- field Gardens. Jean wore her favor- ite oyster-satin brocade evening gown. Supper was smoked salmon, duclling, orange salad and crepes suzettes 'followed by pink cham- pagne. Jean has come a long way from the 13-year-old who first faced film cameras as Margaret Lockwood's young sister in "Give Us The Moon." Her first film "success" was "The Way to the Stars," a story of Battle of Britain pilots. From then on Jean headed for the top, playing the young Estella in "Great Ex- pectations;" the sultry island beauty in "Blue Lagoon;" the Indian girl in "Black Narcissus;" Ophelia in "Hamlet." Still Learning Her first grown-up non-costume part was with Stewart Granger in "Adam and Evelyne." Eager to talk about her work, Jean says: "Making films is thrilling. I enjoy every moment of it though I rea- lize I've still got a long way to go. I'm learning ,something new every day, particularly from experienced actresses like Celia Johnson and Margaret Lockwood." Asked about her performance in Hamlet, Jean said she nearly passed out when Sir Laurence Olivier sug- gested testing her for the part. At 21 Jean. has 2 pew sophistica- tion and confidence. She drives her fast sports car to the studio and has her own flat off Oxford Street. She is fond of clothes, dancing, parties and fun, but when she is working: on a film she is in bed each night at nine. On the question of romance she says: "It's all become a bit of a farce. I'm too interested in work to be serious about anyone." "I have resolved not to marry till I'm 25... but I may not stick to that resolution."
