LOOKING AT HOLLYWOOD
by Hedda Hopper
France Nuyen owes her career to Clifton Webb. When France was bounced out of "Suzie Wong," all kinds of rumors about her were circulated. Hal Wallis was considering her for "A Girl Named Tamiko," but the stories made him cautious. Clifton, who worked with her in "Satan Never Sleeps," got on the phone and set him straight. "It was so unfair," said Webb. "She was wonderful with us. I couldn't stand and watch a career ruined." Now France, who is half French, half Chinese, plays a Chinese girl in "Daimond Head," and is up for the feminine lead in "Marco Polo," and may wind up in Zimmermann's "Hawaii."
