Original Toronto Star caption: When Bobbie Gentry arrived in Toronto this week to do a TV pilot she wasn't wearing Levis and bare feet. The girl who became a star overnight with her hit ballad; Tallahatchie Bridge; was never a hillbilly at all; in fact. She's a well-spoken; intelligent sophisticate who writes music; designs clothes and reads fervidly. Not forgetting; of course; that she is beautiful.
