Helen

Never mind Cuckoo, we can take Helen. The corn complexion glows, it doesn’t seem just the pallor left by countless hours of make-up under hot lights. And she bubbles like the champagne they didn’t pour into those glasses on the “Sachchai” cabaret sets – they poured Helen instead. Helen really does work on her dances. That’s why she remains at the top despite all the competition – June, 1973
