This school is run by Alan Mowbray, a has-been ham, whose daughter rates the leading lady assignments. The author and producer of “Enter Laughing” can argue all night long that the characters are fictional and all that. But, take it from the hip along Broadway, they are recognizable. To the Stars who fly to Manhattan to “catch up with the new shows,” by all means put “Enter Laughing” on your list. To the Photoplay subscribers who visit The Big Town for a holiday or two — take my excited word for it, don’t miss this very comical show. Anyhow, Broadway arena is now where Maureen O’Sullivan co-stars with Paul Ford in another comical show named “Never Too Late.” It is expected to run for at least a year, perhaps longer. Maureen could not count on Hollywood to offer such steady employment. Despite the many films she helped prosper for so many years. Then there’s Joseph Cotten, another fine talent, who decided to challenge Broadway again in a suspenseful opus titled “Calculated Risk.” Mr. Cotten’s natural pretending kept this show alive during the long newspaper strike — four months — getting its advertising via word- of-mouth. This is called “The Hard Way,” and only the very talented find it Easy. Irving Berlin’s musical “Mr. President” is enjoying a hefty sale because its co-stars are Hollywood reliables — Nanette Fabray and Robert Ryan. The Broadway experts agree that their movie reputations sold the tickets. Plus, of course. Mr. Berlin’s fame as a Big-Timer. The critics were no help, at all. Anthony Quinn of “Tchin-Tchin,” Ben Piazza of “Virginia Woolf,” Franchot Tone in “Strange Interlude,” Rudy Vallee in “How To Succeed” and Peter Ustinov in “Photo Finish” are a few other Movieburg citizens who have brightened the Broad- way lights and vice-versa. Vice-versa, because it is no exaggeration to report that the above mentioned could not be sure of finding roles in Hollywood. I have not listed all the cinema “names” who braved the Broadway jungle this season and perished in productions, some- times after only one night. Tony Perkins was one such unlucky lad, Van Johnson was another. It must have been an agonizing experience for Van. He always dreaded making personal appearances, anyway. Then, after rejecting Broadway bids for many years (he started in a musical as a chorus boy) he signed for a play that flopped hard. * This paragraph is to pattycake N. Y. Times film critic Bosley Crowther for his comment in a review of “A Girl Named Tamiko.” He caught it at Radio City Music Hall. Mr. Crowther found a good deal of it very odd. He also said he found it hard to be impressed by a lot of it. “Odd, too,” he went on, “is the fact that all the Americans (in it) are silly to downright vicious types, while most of the Japanese are forthright, courteous and charming.” For which Thanks! Yes, I know some of our desperate Hollywood producers are romancing the foreign film exhibitors, but some of us tax- payers are fed up with their “anything-for- a-dollar” ugly-Americanism. I also know that nothing any of us do (or say) about it. will help stop it. (End of Fierce Glare! ) * Universal Pictures recently squandered a few thousand dollars arranging a closed circuit TV press conference between Tony Curtis and about 300 members of The Fourth Estate. The big idea, of course, was to get these coast-to-coast byliners to ex- ploit Tony’s picture “40 Pounds of Trou- ble.” Some of the tired queries tossed at Mr. Curtis: “Does the makeup hurt your face?” and “What kind of shoes do you wear?” A few days later, the star attended an- other press confab, this time made up of teenagers on school papers. Now look at some of their knowledgeable questions: “Is the star system really responsible for Hollywood’s lack of production?” . . . “How do you feel about a star’s participa- tion in profits?” . . . “Do you think your public image is having or will have any effect on your children?” Refreshing, wot? Perhaps some of these youngsters will land on newspapers and magazines someday and help improve journalism. * Item to make you wince: A publisher has come out with a “thing” we won’t help advertise by mentioning the title. He took ads in one of those interim papers (during the New York strike) announcing that it dealt with “violations” of Marilyn Monroe between the ages of six and eleven. One of the ad’s lines: “It describes the sexual mis- adventures of the future movie star — forced upon her mostly.” How cruel can they get? * Most of you probably know Zsa Zsa Ga- bor from her film, TV and front-page image. We caught another side of the Happy-Go-Lucky Hungarian the other day. The scene was laid in the Cub Room in the Stork Club.

Paul Newman, Brandon de Wilde, Patricia Neal, Melvyn Douglas. what’s it about? A boy chooses between two ways of life: an idolized uncle’s free-wheeling, a grandfather’s idealism. what’s the verdict? Its consistent and sometimes brutal honesty wins respect and rapt attention. While Paul’s crude egotist and Patricia’s warm realist are the most striking characters, Melvyn and Brandon also come across solidly. Con- trasting old and new Texas, the picture actually shows a dilemma facing us all. 55 DAYS AT PEKING A A; Super Technirama-70. Technicolor; Director, Nicholas Ray; Producer, Samuel Bronston (Family) who’s in it? Charlton Heston, David Niven, Ava Gardner, Flora Robson. what’s it about? In China of 1900, a group of foreigners holds off the fanatic Boxers and the dying Manchu Empire. what’s the verdict? Blazing battles and imposing sets fill the screen with excite- ment for some 160 minutes, in spite of stock figures like the gallant Englishman, the strong, silent American, the good- hearted shady lady. Viewed today, the bygone international scene is fantastic and confusing. Who is in the right? THE STRIPPER 20th; CinemaScope; Director, Franklin Schaffner; Producer, Jerry Wald (Adult) who’s in it? Joanne Woodward, Richard Beymer, Claire Trevor, Carol Lynley. what’s it about? Worldly but not very wise, a vaudeville girl drifts into a wist- ful romance with a younger boy. what’s the verdict? Though its people and plot are familiar, it comes to life through nice authentic touches in the atmospheres of small town and sleazy show business. Sympathetic acting blurs the rubber stamp, too. Richard isn’t too naive; Joanne’s both hard and childlike; P Claire escapes the Mom classification. LANCELOT AND GUINEVERE U-I; Panavision, Eastman Color; Director, Cornel Wilde; Producers, C. Wilde, Bernard Luber (Adult) who’s in it? Cornel Wilde, Jean Wal- lace, Brian Aherne, Michael Meacham. what’s it about? The peace of Arthur’s kingdom is wrecked by the passion of his queen and his dearest knight. what’s the verdict? Here’s the original spirit of the Arthurian legend: gutsy and lusty as old Malory’s “Morte d’Ar- thur,” minus the romantics of Tennyson’s “Idylls” or Broadway’s “Camelot.” Jean is a witchy adulteress; Brian is a sadly human king; Cornel’s surprising skill as a director even outshines his able acting. THE YELLOW CANARY 20th; CinemaScope; Director, Buzz Kulik; Pro- ducer. Maury Dexter (Family) who’s in it? Pat Boone, Barbara Eden, Steve Forrest, Jack Klugman. what’s it about? A conceited singing star is forced to change his tune when his baby son is kidnapped. what’s the verdict? Promisingly tough and cynical at the outset, this thriller gradually loses steam, just as Pat— for all his sincere hard work — fails to con- vince us that he could be a heel, even temporarily. The mystery is never very mysterious, and the villain’s seen too early for a wind-up of pure suspense. 14 JASON AND THE ARGONAUTS Columbia; Eastman Color; Director, Don Chaffey; Producer, Charles H. Schneer (Family) who’s in it? Todd Armstrong, Nancy Kovack, Gary Raymond. what’s it about? As the ancient gods of Greece look on, a young hero seeks a magic treasure to regain a kingdom. what’s the verdict? The old myths were often pretty rough, but this cleaned-up version just has the cheerful scariness of a fairytale. The special-effects de- partment creates most of the excitement, ranging from a bronze giant to a squad of skeleton warriors. Squabbling among deities adds a hint of sophistication. TAMMY AND THE DOCTOR U-I; Eastman Color; Director, Harry Keller; Pro- ducer, Ross Hunter (Family) who’s in it? Sandra Dee, Peter Fonda. Macdonald Carey. Beulah Bondi. what’s it about? When her aged bene- factress falls ill. our backwoods gal up- sets hospital routine as a nurse’s aide. what’s the verdict? Everybody who en- joyed Miss Fixit’s earlier adventures will be pleased to find this one staying right in line. Clowning with awesome energy. Sandra still looks mighty peart — now she has us talking that way! No going-steady stuff for Tammy; her latest is handsome intern Peter (a bit young). ISLAND OF LOVE Warners; Panavision, Technicolor; Producer-Di- rector, Morton DaCosta (Adult) who’s in it? Robert Preston, Tony Ran- dall, Walter Matthau, Giorgia Moll. what’s it about? Chased by a vengeful gangster, a con-man flees to Greece and starts an antique-faking racket. what’s the verdict? Thank Tony for the best laughs in this light-weight farce. As a timid lush, he makes something out of very nearly nothing. As for Bob, he was a more appealing swindler with all those trombones to back him up. For us stay-at-homes, the real beauty of the fa- bled islands is an imaginary-travel treat. BLACK GOLD Warners; Director. Leslie H. Martinson; Producer, Jim Barnett (Family) who’s in it? Philip Carey, James Best. Diane McBain, Fay Spain, Claude Akins. what’s it about? A wild-catter work- ing for a ruthless oilman breaks with his boss to help a girl find fortune. what’s the verdict? Though it goes no further back than the Roaring Twenties in Oklahoma, it has the rugged frontier air and the unassuming briskness of a good little western. Skipping any pro- found character-probing, it concentrates on physical suspense like the breathless business of handling a high explosive. DRY SKIN?

These two have been “ friends ” a long time. This summer Rock goes to Europe and it looks as if Marilyn s going too. Could this be a honeymoon? Frank Sinatra and Jill St. John are the talk of town. Frank must like redheads — Juliet Prowse has red locks, too. Jill spent a week with Frank at Palm Springs. She still is trying to negotiate a property settlement with her es- tranged husband, Lance Reventlow. Has Elvis Presley finally found the girl to keep house with? The entertainer invited Priscilla Beaulieu (they met three years ago in Ger- many) to be his parents' houseguest in Memphis. Pris is the daughter of a U. S. Air Force officer. It certainly doesn't look as if Vince Edwards is still serious about Sherry Nelson.

There's no love lost between Carol Lynley and her estranged husband Mike Selsman these days.

Sad but true. Sophia Loren, in town for the Oscar ceremonies, and husband Carlo Ponti felt right at home eating the marvelous Italian fare at Via Veneto Restaurant. Sophia also visited the Wax Museum to see the statue they did of her portrayal in the Academy Award winning "Two Women." Gary Lockwood and Joey Heatherton, the eighteen-year-old blond actress, re-dis- covered each other. They met two years ago when she was on Broadway, and just met again at M-G-M where both are working. He's doing a new TV series, "The Lieutenant," and she's in "Twilight of Honor," with tele- vision's young doctor, Dick Chamberlain. The way Gary acts around Joey one would think Tuesday Weld never existed. What ever happened to Tuesday? She enrolled at the Actor's Studio in New York and re-dis- covered Richard Beymer. Debbie Reynolds finally admitted what she couldn't deny any longer — she and Harry Karl are expecting a baby in August. Debbie still doesn't like to talk about it, though, be- cause it brings back the tragic memories of last summer when she lost a Karl heir by mis- carriage. Harry wants a boy; but Debb e just wants "a healthy baby — boy or girl.” Scooping Around: Brigitte Bardot turned down Gardner McKay's invite to talk about adventures in paradise over dinner in Paris. . . .

But / say wait and see. European jaunt this summer, and Marilyn Maxwell is packing her bags, too! When Grace Kelly and her Prince flew to this country in April, she turned down all in- vites to come to Hollywood. Alfred Hitchcock is still trying to per- suade her to reconsider doing "Marne." He's even offered to make the film in Monaco. Grace would like to do it; it's the Prince who's against it. Last time I saw Shirley MacLaine, we were both shopping at Seibu. She told me she was off to Japan and husband Steve Parker for a visit of several months. Dickie-Boy Burton finally talked his Sybil into going ahead with the divorce so he can marry Liz Taylor. The estranged Mrs. Burton goes to Mexico to obtain it. The prop- erty settlement makes her a millionaire. Liz wants Eddie Fisher to file in Mexico, too. That way, Dickie and Liz would be free to marry immediately. Guess Bo Belinsky is really hooked. He and Mamie Van Doren are looking for a ring, tho they’ve set no definite date. Oddly enough, it was Mamie's ex, Ray Anthony, who introduced her to Bo. Ray has always been a great baseball fan, and eight months ago told Bo: "I know someone you'd really like. You both have the same personality." So Ray arranged for the pitcher and the actress to go out on a blind date. If anyone cares, and not too many do, Jayne Mansfield has flipped for another Italian. He's Nelson Sardelli, a singer she met while appearing in a Biloxi, Miss., nitery.

It wouldn't surprise me if Bette probably fig- ured she had her third Oscar in the bag. Another surprise was Ed Begley's win. Omar Shariff had smelled victory, and he looked like a canary who swallowed the cat when Begley's name was announced. You'd never know it from the way Frank Sinatra and Eddie Fisher greeted each other on the Oscar telecast but actually Frankie is miffed with Liz' ex. Eddie sup- posedly turned down a singing engagement at Frank's Cal-Neva Lodge. The Audrey Hepburn-Mel Ferrer mar- riage is smooth again. They leased a home for three months in Hollywood while she's doing "My Fair Lady." Wasn't Alan Ladd a little upset when his daughter, Alana, announced her engagement to Bob Westbrook, Jr.? Bobby is a good pal of Ava Gardner's. Connie Stevens has really flipped over Robert Vaughn — who, in many ways, is like her old beau Gary Clarke. I didn't think Jim Garner was a Rudolph Valentino but apparently Lee Remick did. She fainted in his arms while doing a love scene for "The Wheeler Dealers." All in the same month, Anita Ekberg mar- ried Rik Van Nutter, a Californian trying to become an actor in Rome, and Rod Taylor announced his engagement to model Mary Hilem. Rod and Anita, at one time, planned to tie the knot themselves. George Hamilton's new gal is German actress Elke Sommer. He's even introduced her to his mother. Nice going. Troy Donahue and Suzanne Pleshette had a big beef. She says they've decided to take a "rest" from each other. Isn't the Sue Lyon-Jimmy Harris dating for real? They were at the Academy Awards together and at the party afterwards. Harris produced "Lolita." Natalie Wood is dating her publicist, Guy MacElaine, more than she is Warren Beat- ty- What goes on here? Sleeper romance of the year, Don Rickies and Connie Francis. They met while appear- ing at the Sahara Hotel in Las Vegas. The romance is for real too. Out the window went Pat Boone's image when he and Nancy Kwan participated in a torrid love scene in "The Main Attraction." Pat doesn't like it either. Charges that the film was cut so to make it appear he and Nancy had a wild night together in her bed- room. Wanted the producer to re-shoot the scene. Sorry, Pat, they wouldn't do it. Stefanie Powers and John Wayne's son. Pat, called it a day. Duke is a little crushed about it. Because he really wanted the actress for a daughter-in-law.

Haven't Mike Ren- nie and Mary Preminger decided against marriage? He was dating Carlyn Chap- 20 man's sister, Carolyn, while in Hollywood to make "Mary, Mary." . . . Lana Turner and Fred May are still talking reconcillia- tion. . . . When it comes to Cliff Robert- son's gigantic date list, Sandy Freeman, a model, is in the number one spot. . . . Andy Prine decided not to name a celebrity in a divorce complaint. . . . Van Johnson is okay following cancer surgery. . . . Ann-Margret and Eddie Fisher looked like lovebirds at the Academy Awards. However, insiders claim this relationship is all for publicity. . . . Was certainly a surprise when Chuck Connors and Kamala Devi got hitched. Apparently she decided that love was strong- er than her career. Chuck had wanted her to give up acting if they married. Or is it Chuck who weakened in his stand? It's no wonder Lois Nettleton turned down dates. The actress (she co-stars in "Come Fly With Me") has been secretly married for some time. Janet Leigh and Bob Brandt deny the stork rumors, but I wonder? Debbie Reyn- olds once denied the same "truth.” Tony Curtis won his point. Told Christine Kaufmann that following their marriage she must give up her career. So after she does "Monsieur," she’s retiring. I believe the stork has something to do with their decision, too. Marlon Brando opened his mouth again. This time to blast the press. I wonder if he realizes that if he feels the press had treated him roughly, it's his own fault. He refuses to be interviewed by them. Don't chalk out the Kay Gable-Efrem Zimbalist, Jr., romance. He discovered Kathryn Grayson and she's quite a dis- covery. They were holding hands at the party Ann Miller gave for Kathryn. But Kay was on hand, though she was with another escort. Marilyn Monroe's ex-press agent, Pat Newcomb, is now working for the govern- ment. It was Pat who was with Marilyn when she met the President and his brother at the presidential birthday party. Remember? Marilyn sang Happy Birthday to the Nation's Chief. And now her song is stilled. Big break for Jim Franciscus when War- ren Beatty pulled too many demands and was replaced in the starring role of "Young- blood Hawke." Warren acted like a Brando in demanding that he has script approval and the approval of his leading lady. I also heard Warren and Suzanne Pleshette didn't hit it off but that's never a reason to drop a star! No reason at all. Liz Taylor and her Dickie Boy are will- ing to star in "Camelot” for Warner Bros, on one condition. Liz wants one-million and Dickie's big-money demand has gone up from $500,000 to $800,000. Hasn't the Clan really been broken up? Only Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin ap- pear to be members now. And they're not bragging about it either. It seems to be serious between Edie Adams and Arthur Loew. Edie continues to work practically around the clock to pay off the debts against Ernie Kovacs' estate. Puzzler of the Month: What actor (he stars in a TV series) was so drunk the night of the Academy Awards that he collapsed after pre- senting one of the Oscars ? THE END | Q. Do you know there are two kinds of perspiration? A. It’s true! One is "physical," caused by work, heat, or exer- tion; the other is "nervous” stim- ulated by emotion or sexual ex- citement. It’s the kind that comes at moments when you are tense or emotionally excited. Q. Which perspiration is the worst offender? A. Doctors say that this "sex perspiration" is the big offender in underarm stains and odor. It comes from bigger, more power- ful glands — and this is the kind of perspiration that causes the most offensive odor. Sex and Your Perspiration Q. How can you overcome this "sex perspiration"? A. Science says you need a deo- dorant specifically formulated to overcome offensive "sex perspi- ration” odor. And now it’s here . . . ARRID CREAM with exclusive Perstop*.

When they arrived in Rio a few months ago, a cou- ple of strong men met them at the plane, whisked them off in a car, parked in an old garage and searched their luggage. They were kept prisoners for two hours before being released with a lame story that they thought they were jewel thieves. The men didn’t even apologize or say they were sorry. In addition, it cost George $1,500 to attend the festival for our State Depart- ment. How’s that for good will? Gary Clarke’s supposed to be in a spin over Dolores Hart — but she’s pretty cozy with a local doctor named Mitchell Covell. Ava Gardner’s developed a phobia of the candid camera. She refuses to attend any of the premieres of “55 Days At Pe- king” because she can no longer face a battery of photographers. She told a pal she wasn’t sure if she’d ever appear before a mo- tion picture camera again. I’m sorry Ava feels this way and hope she changes her mind. Work would do her good, and we want her back in Hollywood. Vic Mature’s coming back to pictures, which should give this town a shot in the arm. He’s had quite a time in the construction business and says it’s worse than Hollywood. “At least, in the movie business you know who’s doing it to you so you can keep an eye on them.” He almost lost his shirt in the building business, but stuck with it for two years and finally came out a winner. Shirley MacLaine’s supposed to stay in Japan and play hus- band Steve Parker’s favorite Geisha for two whole months. Well, we’ll see how long she stays. They thrive on parting. Above: Eddie Fisher’s date “Oscar” night was cute Ann- Margret. Eddie made a com- plete comeback with the Holly- wood cynics when he sang his heart out on the Oscar show. He never sounded better. He claims he’ll never marry again, “I’ll never again give up my career for any woman.” That’s proba- bly the wisest decision he’s ever made, but never is a long, long time and Ann-Margret’s mighty cute. Maybe he can figure out how to marry and keep working — like a whole lot of other men! 22 Kim Novak discovered Eng- lish writer Roderick Mann. Now if she gets that Cockney accent right for “Of Human Bondage,” all will be serene. The producers provided Kim with a Cockney maid, secretary and chauffeur, but her accent came out so thick even the Cockneys couldn’t un- derstand her. Poor Kim!! That must have been a whop- per of an argument that singer Joan O’Brien had with actor Harvey Allen. Just before their altar march she called the whole thing off. Then they patched things up and married. But it wasn’t smooth sailing. Joan made headlines again when she took too many sleeping pills. Below: A sight to behold! Mama Ingrid Bergman strolling down a street with her twin daughters Isabella and Isotta Rossellini. Her son Robertino was with them, but he very deftly managed to wander away from the camera’s prying eye. Above : Rick Nelson’s wed- ding to Kris Harmon was as lovely as any wedding could be. Now, everyone is wondering if Kris will be on the Nelsons’ TV show. She’s pretty enough, but one thing is sure — she and Rick certainly don’t need the money she’d make! But it would be fun. When Mrs. Tony Curtis has her baby this fall, she aims to retire from the screen. At least that’s what she’s saying now. But once you’re bitten by the acting bug you rarely recover. The beautiful Carol Lynley married press agent Mike Sels- man. I never met him. The first time he telephoned me, he in- troduced himself and said, “I’m the husband of Carol Lynley and want to give you a story.” I said, “Young man, I’m not in- terested in you but I adore Carol. I’ve known her longer than you have. I knew her first when she did 'Blue Denim’ in New York, so don’t try to sell yourself.” Well, they had a baby and a few months ago they an- nounced a divorce. Now, I hear he wants custody of the child, although Carol’s so crazy about their daughter that when she had to go to Boston to film “The Cardinal,” she took the baby, Victoria, along. Like the Dee- Darin split, this divorce might be a bitter one. It’s really sad. Carol has worked so hard for so long (she was a model long be- fore she turned to acting), she deserves a better break. Above: Pal Sophia Loren spent her one day in Hollywood after the Oscar show touring Disneyland and the Wax Mu- seum with husband Carlo Ponti. She’s the latest star to be waxed (in a scene from her Academy Award role in “Two Women”) for the Museum, which is be- coming as famous as Madame Tussaud’s. And bless her heart, Sophia brought me another hat from Paris, lovelier than the one she sent me a year ago. I had a heck of a time keeping that one from being stolen — half a dozen dames tried to snatch it off my head. Incidentally, I understand my busy friend is not content just being a good actress. I’ve now heard she’s going to made some recordings. If she does, I’ll be first in line at the store to buy one!

By the way, Danny got a standing ovation after the opening of his marvelous one- man show in New York City. Jill St. John is certainly play- ing a fast game. She’s a beauti- ful girl, and at the time she sepa- rated from Lance Reventlow I told her I thought it was a mis- take. Since then she’s been play- ing the field. When Walter Wanger, who’s old enough to be her father, flew in from New York, she was at the airport to meet him. She’s also been seeing Richard Gully and Frank Sin- atra and her ex-husband. If this isn’t playing aces wild, I don’t know what is — do you? Virginia and James Arness, after five separations, finally got a divorce, and Jim got custody of their two children. He charged that she was unfit to raise them because not long ago their twelve-year-old daughter went to the hospital with an acute case of alcoholic poisoning. Above: Anita Ekberg seems very happy being Mrs. Rik Von Nutter. They kept the press away when they wed in Switz- erland, but willingly posed a few days later in the garden of her beautiful villa in Rome. Anita Ekberg’s new mother- in-law put a fast damper on all those dreamed-up stories about her son being an Austrian-born film star, fabulously wealthy, and seven-feet tall. She cut him down to size with, “He was born in Pomona, California, he’s six feet two, and worked on a news- paper in Hawaii and had a job with a film company on location there.” As for his name — Rik Von Nutter — he’s just plain old Freddie Nutter to his mother. I always feel sorry for these young girls who make stardom and then marry and have a baby before they’re out of their teens. It’s tough enough learning to act without having to learn how to become a wife and a mother. This is what happened to San- dra Dee. She and Bobby Darin were brought up in totally differ- ent environments. She had the protection of a lovely mother. Darin fought his way up every inch of the way. His was the world of song writers, pluggers, etc., and the things that go with that life. While he was singing “Mack the Knife,” she was play- ing “Tammy.” When they had a baby, they wouldn’t permit it to be photographed. They were de- voted. She told me how she used to get up at 5 A.M. to feed the baby and make Bobby’s break- fast before he went off to work. He was very good at his acting job — and at being a father. Then they had a terrific row the night he opened at the Cocoanut Grove. The separation followed. Now I understand he’ll fight for custody of the child. Where will it end? Nobody knows. Above: Eddie Robinson and Charlton Heston stopped to compare beards at a recent premiere. Beards are the big thing now, but I’m glad Paul Newman decided to get rid of his.

They’re insepa- rable these days, and a husband and wife should be if they want their marriage to work in this crazy town of ours. The feud between Joan Craw- ford and Bette Davis was only an undercurrent during the mak- ing of “Baby Jane,” but Oscar night it came to the surface. Half the town was certain Bette would win her third Oscar. Joan was betting on Anne Bancroft or Geraldine Page. Before she left New York, she very sweetly arranged to pick up the Oscar in case either won. She showed up at the theater in a gown of crystal dewdrops from shoulders to feet, highlighted by the largest diamond clip she owns — and she owns plenty. Backstage, she in- stalled two Pepsi coolers, and had her dressing room stocked with champagne, Scotch, and bourbon, along with cheese, crackers, etc. She held open house for the press. Then came the electric announcement of best actress. When Max Schell announced, “Anne Bancroft,” the camera flashed to Joan. She wore the biggest, broadest smile on record. Joan clutched the Os- car in her hand. The next day, a bitter friend of Bette’s said, “I cringed as I * watched.” But I say you’ve got to hand it to Crawford. If there’s a star in this town with better showmanship, you name her. Joel McCrea sold a thousand acres of his San Fernando Valley ranch for a paltry three million. It didn’t exactly leave him cramped for space — he has six hundred and fifty acres left. Below: Fabulous Marlene Dietrich had the world talking about her when she helped out at a Paris circus for charity. Other actresses dressed glamor- ously, but grandma Dietrich dressed as a circus boy and stole the show from the glamour gals. Diana Hyland, the cool blonde who’s playing Mrs. Nor- man Vincent Peale in her first picture, aims to be the female Marlon Brando. I met Diana’s lovely mother in Cleveland, so I asked Diana in for an interview. She’s about as informative as a Secret Service agent. She gave out with a flat yes or no to my questions until I asked if she had gone to the Academy Awards. “Why should I,” she shrugged. “It’s like the Emmy. If you spend $2000 for promo- tion you can get a nomination.” Well, I just hope Miss Hyland has lots and lots of talent, she’s sure going to need it. Richard Chamberlain was more than a strong arm to Clara Ray at her Beverly Hilton open- ing. He helped her out by sing- ing a duet — all about love. But when asked when they would marry, he said, “We both have our careers to think about.” Fred Astaire pooh-poohs ro- mance with, “I’m too busy — I don’t need it. I’m a very happy fellow.” I thought for a while Barrie Chase might change his mind, but she didn’t. He did go up to Las Vegas when she opened there, and she was darned good. After all, she had the great master to teach her. Sheila Connolly came up with a unique reason for divorcing Guy Madison. She claimed, “He was so devoted to practicing with his bow and arrow that he paid no attention to his family.” That’s all the news under my hat now.

CONNIE STEVENS: “Because of my religious beiiefs, the answer is no— for me personally. Just like posing nude, acting might be a form of exhibitionism. But if you’re comparing the two, don’t overlook the fact that to be good at either requires talent. The big difference is that acting is far more of a challenge to the imagination than posing — that’s another reason why i prefer acting.” 2. SARAH MILES: “I wouid — if the scene is an integral part of the film as it was in ‘The Ceremony.’ Yes, I posed nude in that movie. But all i did was take off my clothes for one second, and then it was all done and very quiet. I went back to England and suddenly someone decided to use that scene to publicize the film— and then I got the worst of it. When the film comes out and people can see it— it is so beautifully done by a great cameraman that they will see that they can’t see anything. I take off my clothes and I (Please turn the page) get into bed, but it’s so dark that not even an outline is seen. It just looks lovely. If only the studio people had made it quite clear that I didn’t take off my clothes in broad daylight But this way, it’s become quite silly and crude, I think. It’s very sad. They prom- ised me that no photographers would be on the set, but one was there and he sent the picture around the world. And that’s how it started. It’s such a shame, really. I didn’t do it for the pub- licity. I did it for the good of the picture." 3. DEBORAH WALLEY: "Under no circumstances would I pose for a nude scene in a movie. That just isn't the kind of ‘exposure’ that helps an actress’ career. On the contrary, it minimizes any real talent she might have and less- ens the chances for public acceptance. Even if such a scene is necessary to the development of the plot and it is handled with taste, it’s a cinch to be sensationalized when the picture is released. I didn’t spend my parents’ money and my time in learning to be an actress, only to end up displaying the kind of talent that’s measured with a tape by inches. That's not for me." 4. ANNETTE FUNICELLO: "Definite- ly not. I don’t think an actress’ career should hinge on such promiscuity. Even for so-called ‘art's sake.’ Her talent or ability as a performer should be enough to win her the role she seeks. I think that such an act cheapens an actress and lowers her standing in the movie in- dustry. By doing so, I feel she would also lose the respect of her fans and the moviegoing public. If getting a role is dependent on an actress doing such a thing, maybe she would be better off to get into some other kind of business." 5. LAUREL GOODWIN: "! don’t think so. I would be embarrassed to tears! That would stop me altogether, aside from any other moral considerations." 6. KIM NOVAK: "Yes, and I did in ‘Of Human Bondage.’ At first I worried about it and thought maybe I should wear some kind of nightdress. But then I decided nothing— absolutely nothing- should come between me and my au- dience. My director even suggested that I use a ‘body double.’ When I asked him what he meant, he told me, ‘You have a nude scene and of course you don't want to pose in the nude, so you’ll have a body double.’ But I told him, ‘Why should I use a double? Who’s got a better body than I have?’ Of course, when I did the scene, they cleared the set of everybody but the people who were working on that scene. When it was over, Lawrence Harvey told me: ‘I’m glad I became an actor. This was worth waiting for.’ There’s only one thing that worries (Continued on page 91) Is there any torment more painful than the torment of love lost? For Liz Taylor’s fourth husband there was. This is his story, the story of what heart- break did to one man. 3 WEDDING GOWNS FOR LIZ created by 3 TOP DESIGNERS which one should she wear? ( Continued on page 38) 36 3 WEDDING f * GOWNS J -v FOR LIZ A'?* SYLVAN RICH LILLY DACHE ANTHONY PETTORUTO As we go to press , Richard Burton's wife, Sybil, says she will never divorce him . But there hasn't been a man, married or not, whom Liz couldn't wed if she wanted to. So with this in mind, we asked three top designers what they thought Liz should wear— and why. What do you think? At the end of the story, there is a ballot. Vote your choice. We want to pass on your recommendations to Liz! If Liz Taylor ever feels that she hasn’t got a thing to wear — for her fifth wedding, that is — she need fret no more. All she has to do is take her pick of one of the three gorgeous creations on the preceding pages — designed exclusively for Photoplay by three of the world’s top fashion de- signers, expressly for Liz’ forthcoming marriage to Richard Burton — and her problem’s licked. We’re not jumping the gun on a Liz-Burton wedding, either. True, at this writing, both hap- pen to be married — to others. True, no divorce proceedings have actually been initiated. True, our principals are holed up in their adjoining suites at London’s Dorchester Hotel, talking to no one but each other. And Eddie Fisher claims he knows from nothing. And Sybil Burton is telling New York reporters that, although legally separated from Richard now, “I won’t give him a divorce. He won’t be Liz’ fifth husband.” But we have sources close to this much-publi- cized foursome who insist that the no-wedding talk is hogwash — much like the stuff dished out at the time those first reports came through from Rome to the effect that “there is absolutely no truth to rumors linking Miss Taylor and Mr. Bur- ton. They are simply co-stars and good friends.” Do you remember those denials? And, say our sources about the current shrugs and/or denials : “Elizabeth and Richard are more in love than ever — passionately, wildly in love. And there ivill be a wedding. In proper time. As soon as a certain rather complex detail can be completely worked out . . .” The detail? Money. To give Burton his freedom, Sybil reportedly has asked him for — and is getting — $1,500,000. (Says a close girl friend of hers: “She should get double, after what she’s had to put up with!”) To give Liz her freedom, Eddie reportedly gets a neat $1,000,000 from her “Cleopatra” take. As one of Eddie’s buddies put it recently : “You won’t see him in the picture, but Lord knows he sweated through every frame of ( Continued on page 40) 38 THE ENGAGEMENT RING WITH THE PERFECT CENTER DIAMOND The gift that carries the message of your everlasting love is a diamond.

But like the old proverb goes: “What’s money when you’re in love? — and rich?” And on that note let us take leave of all financial details. And get on to the wedding itself. And to the bride — and the dress she will wear. Or, rather, should wear. A special dress for an unusual occasion. As envisioned by our panel of designers — the world-famous Sylvan Rich, Lilly Dache and Anthony Pettoruto — and sketched exclu- sively for Photoplay by one of the world’s top illustrators — Jon Whitcomb. Our first designer, the soft-spoken Sylvan Rich — owner of Martini Designed Inc. — told us: “I think it is a shame — really — that in the films Elizabeth Taylor has made, so little attention has been paid to her clothes. By that I am not criticizing the designers who have worked with her. What I mean is that Elizabeth Taylor has never been set up as a fashion image, an exponent of fashion. Pic- tures just aren’t made that way these days, I guess. Times have changed. “It was different in the Thirties. Stars of Miss Taylor’s stature would definitely influ- ence the world by the way they dressed. A star like Joan Crawford, say — the great indi- vidualist, with the great new innovations. A star like Garbo — who introduced a new standard of beauty that is still one of the most important influences on fashion and makeup today. “Unfortunately, however, Elizabeth Tay- lor will not be remembered for her clothes. “But that is off the subject somewhat. And to get on with it now — the wedding dress . . . I’d like to say first that in designing I al- ways feel that the individual’s personality must be considered — and, particularly when a person is as strong as Elizabeth Taylor, that the clothes should be a complement to her beauty and her natural attributes rather than something that will detract from these attributes. So it should be with her wedding dress. A complement and a compliment. “With some show business people I have designed for in the past — I stress. With others, I understress. For instance, for Sheila MacRae — Gordon’s wife — I go over- board. The girl has much gaiety about her, much joie de vivre, she’s a great clothes horse. And so, for her nightclub act espe- cially, I design huge evening coats over dresses — what can be called a costume look — always sure to create a very spectacular effect. While with Barbara Britten, on the other hand, I play things down, so to speak, so that her magnificent lady-like quality is not tempered with. I always give Barbara a little shoulder-covering, for instance. I al- ways do rather soft things with her, so as not to destroy that soft and very reserved qual- ity of hers. It works out well. “In Elizabeth Taylor’s case, then — partic- ularly for a wedding — I would not stress her glamour. I would want to make the dress a background — yes, that’s it — a background for her glamour and beauty. Her beauty alone is, after all, so spectacular. She is cer- tainly one of the most spectacularly beautiful women of our era. And I think that the tra- ditional bridal dress is one of the most beau- tiful costumes a woman can ever be seen in. And that is why I choose traditional for her. ... By the way, this has nothing to do with the fact that Miss Taylor has been married before. This is simply the way I visualize her as a bride. Although in her case I would do something a little more extreme than for basic traditional since she has to have some- thing worthy of the publicity that is bound to surround her marriage. “Traditional, of course, implies white. In Miss Taylor’s case, I would not do her in dead white. I see her as not stark. But rather I would do her in slightly off-white. Or in antique white satin. In a gown cut simply, to fit the figure closely. With the back flow- ing from the shoulders and ending in a train — long — about four yards long. “In the headdress, and possibly on the dress, too — I would use some magnificent starched heirloom lace. Very beautiful. Very valuable. From ( Continued on page 95) 40 YOU CAN'T lvnirrii rn J YINCE She’s a brown-eyed brunette with a peaches-and-cream complexion and an enchanting figure for a mere six- teen-year-old. She’s the kind of girl who turns boys’ heads and starts their hearts pattering when they pass her on the street or in the hall at school. But the boys can stare at her till their eyeballs fall out. They can whistle and wolf-call till they’re blue in the face. They can wave until their arms fall off. None of these mating calls make an impression on her. It's not that this sweet and fascinating charmer isn’t interested in boys. But boys, as such, don’t stand a chance with her because she’s waiting for a certain man — a certain man who is also waiting for her. Waiting until she grows up just a little bit more. . . . The man is Vince Edwards. The girl is Karen Zoine. Of course you know Vince Edwards, the dour, dynamic and dedicated “Ben Casey” of coast-to-coast televi- sion fame. But you’ve never heard of Karen Zoine, you're about to tell us? Pay close attention because you may be hearing a lot about her in the months and years ahead. For Karen has her eyes on Hollywood and a burning desire to follow Vince Edwards out to the cinematic citadel. So far as Vince Edwards is concerned, the idea is great. But as he has al- ready told her: “Karen, the best thing for you is to finish high school first — don’t neglect your studies. Nothing is more important than a good edu- cation. Once you have that, every- thing else is easy. If you don’t finish school, that is something you’ll re- gret the rest of your life. . . .” Karen has taken Vince's injunction to heart. She will stay in school — she will enter the senior class in September at Brooklyn's Franklin K. Lane High School — until graduation next June and then continue her edu- cation at (Continued on page 80) 43 Can a divorce c„, “I WON’T LET HIM she discovered her husband HAYE MI BABY! wasr:if;r n not an unfit mother!” nf thpir rhilrl Please turn the oaee Carol Lynley continued Never had Carol Lynley sounded so lost, so broken, so infinitely sad as she did that Saturday morn- ing in late March — the day the newspapers an- nounced her separation from Michael Selsman. For Carol knew her marriage was definitely over, even though the separation was labeled a “trial” one in the official announcement. (A few days later, she and Michael sued each other for divorce, charging extreme cruelty, and each parent also sought full custody of their pretty little year-old daughter, Jill Victoria Selsman.) “I’m all right,” Carol insisted that Saturday morning, in answer to my worried question. “It’s just that . . . this whole thing isn’t very easy for me, Jim. . . .” Only a close friend of Carol’s — and I had counted myself one for the past five years — could realize the full, aching truth of her words. For admitting the failure of her marriage before the whole world involved not only a personal tragedy, it also carried a bitter dose of humiliation. When she married Michael, an ambitious young press agent, she had gone against her mother’s wishes and warnings. At the time of the wedding both mother and daughter tried to deny that fact in order to avoid embarrassment. (However, it was not true, as some newspapers reported, that Carol’s mother failed to mail her the birth certificate she needed in order to expedite her marriage license. It was, as she said at the time, held up in the mail.) But Carol’s mother — now Mrs. Arthur Broderick of Los Angeles — had the good sense not to say “I told you so” when Carol called her and said, “Michael and I are separating. I wanted you to know it before we told the newspapers.” Whatever her inner feelings, she accepted the fact without comment and offered motherly sympathy. And the next day — after Mike had moved out and Carol was alone in the big house in Benedict Canyon, except for the baby and a Spanish-speaking nurse, Mrs. Broderick called her to ask: “Would you like to come over for dinner tonight? We’re having your favorite pot roast. . . To me, Mrs. Broderick predicted: “Now people will probably start saying that I broke up the mar- riage. But 1 didn’t.” And she was telling the truth The difficulties between Carol and Mike were not caused by her mother. They were the result of deep and, finally, fatal differences that existed between the two young people themselves. These differences existed, like hidden time bombs, the day they married. But the young couple had to live together in order to discover them. And Carol’s increasing maturity — she was only eighteen when she married — not only failed to help the situation, it made her more conscious of its hopelessness, and less willing to endure it forever. Mike steadfastly refused to admit the possibility of divorce until those time bombs finally started going off all around himself and his young wife. And when the smoke had cleared, it was too late, and the mar- riage that had started so hopefully lay in ashes. A few days after the separation announcement, I spoke again to Carol between takes of her movie, Columbia’s “Under the Yum Yum Tree,” which she had just started. Actually, for Carol — as for most people, it would have been much harder to sit at home alone and brood about her misfortunes. So the necessity to work hard in order to keep up with her more experienced co-stars (like Jack Lemmon and Edie Adams) was a blessing in dis- guise, and one which she seized gladly. Carol was reluctant to discuss the breakup for publication, but felt that if it had to be done, it would be better to have a personal friend write the story. “Please emphasize one thing,” she told me. “Basically it’s just a difference of personalities, plus the fact that we got married when I was very young. There’s no scandal, there’s nobody else in- volved on either side. People may try to see things in the separation that aren’t there, but that’s really all there is to it: Our personalities were just too different.” I listened without comment as she spoke. I knew that while that was the basic reason, there was much more to it than that. And so, of course, did Carol. Apparently she read my thoughts, for she added, “Jim, you know the whole story, because you saw it happening. Just write the truth.” My first question was ( Continued on page 32) Fun To Enter Easy To Win! Jerry Lewi$"Nutty Professor" CONTEST Its Wild!

But he was never the life of any big party. Bill Chamberlain’s wife, Pat, remembers that Dick, late in his teens, could come into a gathering at their house and be so quiet that you’d never notice he was there. Dick was different around his own close set of pals — Dick Hall. Don Tinsley, Billy Buggies, Vernon Lohr and Travis Reed and their steadies. Naturally Dick had one too. Donna was the kind of girl he always chose — pretty, peppy but femininely sweet. Usually somebody could promote a family car; and if there wasn’t a dance or a movie all wanted to see, they could always drive up into the hills, park and as Dick grins, “neck in the back seat.” But the most fun was roaring off to California’s handy mountains, desert or beach on weekends for picnics and sport. Dick liked the beach best because he’d figured a way to casually stroll off the public strand into the private Del Mar Club and blandly as- sume the privileges of a member. All it took was a cool head and a bit of acting. That came naturally to Dick Chamber- lain, so naturally, that he wonders now how he ever let his movie star dream slumber throughout high school. He did do a couple of school plays but something else seemed more his dish. Among the scores of forget-me-nots which classmates scrib- bled on Dick’s last copy of the Beverly High’s yearbook, “The Watchtower,” is one which explains: “To a wonderful guy,” it reads, “and a terrific artist.” The same book summed Dick up in ways that hardly blocked out an actor’s essential ego. He was voted, “Most re- served . . . Most courteous . . . Most sophisticated.” So, painting, Dick Chamberlain decided, was his major talent and ft would he art he’d go after for his life’s work. In a way it was like track, the sport he always pre- ferred to football. Basically, both were solitary and you won or lost by yourself. He liked that idea. After graduation, he enrolled at Pomona College, in Clare- mont, to major in art. That summer his mother inherited part of an oil well. “It pumped away faithfully all the time I was in college to put me through,” says Dick. “The minute I graduated it went dry.” Everything else flowed as pleasantly for “Chambo” Chamberlain during his dear old college days. He felt at home there as lie had never felt before or, truthfully, since. “I loved Pomona,” Dick says sim- ply. Other alumni have felt the same way. One loyal grad, Robert Taylor, was called “Pomona” by his first wife, Barbara Stan- wyck, all the time they were married. Claremont, which Californians call. "The Oxford of the West,” is only thirty- five miles from Beverly Hills. But, except for the mountain backdrop and sunshine it could be in another land. Four colleges cluster there — Pomona, Scripps College for Women, Claremont Men’s College and Harvey Mudd. Pomona’s buildings are classic and ivy clad; old trees shade its quad. There’s little rah-rah: the climate is academic, secluded and detached. In Dick’s day only 1100 hand-picked students roamed its halls. All of them soon knew Chambo Cham- berlain. From the start and in various ways, he was a marked man. At the big Frosh-Soph mudfight Dick had a heads-on collision with the Soph captain and broke that leader’s nose. “For some reason,” recalls Dick, “that made me a hero.” He went out for track and made the mile re- lay team. The Phi Delts took him in; so did the Scripps girls and Pomona co-eds, in strictly another way, as he passed with his golden good looks. "Dick’s only problem was holding them off,” remembers Bob Towne. “More girls were after him than he knew what to do with. You couldn’t blame them. He was as good, maybe even better looking then than he is now. And. even in Levis and a T-shirt he always looked as if he had just stepped off Saville Row. I had early morn- ing classes with Chambo and I never saw him with a hair out of place, a whisker or, for that matter, a smudge on his face.” Spotlight In one way or another the spotlight focussed on Dick Chamberlain all his four years at Pomona. If he wasn’t win- ning a trophy at an art exhibit, he was starred in a theatrical production. And sometimes, of course, the spotlight was there, but mercifully deflected by Dick’s misleading look of innocence. Like that outrageous poster on Carnegie Hall at the Arts Festival. “It was a work of art,” declares Mar- tin Green, who was in on the prank. “Not the painting — but Dick’s whole cool ma- neuver. It involved a brilliant plot- swiped fire ladders, split-second timing with the police, all night work and de- stroying the evidence. We hung it so high that it was two weeks before they could figure a way to get it down from there.” The three stealthy operators — Dick, Martin and Dave Ossman — were all “DP’s.” That meant “Dramatic Produc- tions,” although jealous outsiders had a less flattering name for the exclusive, elite group — “Displaced Persons.” As a mem- ber. strangely, that’s just about what Dick Chamberlain was. His major was not dramatics but art. He loved it and was good. His paintings won prizes and he even sold some to Pomona students. “Dick had real talent, still has,” says Martin Green, who should know. “He could have been a fine painter, especially in ordered abstractions and geometrical subject matter. He was espe- cially good in grays, blacks and whites.” But Dick was a dedicated DP for two reasons: Although truly popular for the first time in his life, he still needed a close circle of kindred souls with whom he could shed his reserve and let himself go. As at Beverly High, Dick took in the school dances and events. But it was with Bob, Dave. Martin, Hal and their girls that he really had fun — up at “Stinky’s” joint in the canyon, on ski junkets to Mount Baldy, or at Stan Kornyn’s big home in Covina, where, after a show, they could keep a party going all night, fueled with gin or cheap champagne. DP was a true fraternity, not just a “social” one. Dick has always needed that. The other reason was longer range and even deeper: As school slipped by, some- thing was happening to Chambo Cham- berlain and he knew it. “I was thinking less and less about painting and more and more about acting,” he says. In other words, that crazy kid dream was popping up again out of the past, despite himself. “ The last time my husband tried to fix it we got Perry Mason accusing Ben Casey of not brushing his teeth after every meal.” 86 Cream hair away the beautiful way.. . with new baby-pink, sweet-smelling neet; what a beautiful difference it makesl Any gal who's ever used a razor knows there's trouble with razor stubble; bristly, coarse hair-ends that feel ugly, look worse.

R2 “I think the turning point for Dick was when he did Shaw’s ‘Arms and the Man,’ ” believes Boh Towne. "He did a brilliant job.” Virginia Prince-House Allen, head of Pomona’s Drama Department, thought the same thing. “I’m considering trying to be an actor instead of a painter. ’ Dick told her. “Should I?” She thought a minute. Dick wasn t ma- joring in her department. "Yes, she said. “I think you should.” It was too late by then to change his college course, but from then on Dick Chamberlain knew what he was after. He told Bob Towne flatly. “I’m going to act. It’s not such a lonesome life. Besides, I Have you a recipe you would like to share with other readers?

But where was the conceit and the ego? I still don’t know.” At any rate, when Dick Chamberlain stood in cap and gown at graduation in the spring of 1956, he had only one l bought in mind — getting somewhere in Hollywood. For the first time in his lile, nothing, not even a girl, sidetracked that idea. Dick says he broke up with “Joan.” his steady of two years about that time when she got too serious. But none of his pals remembers a “Joan. ’ I I (link Dick’s 1 fudging,” says one. “But I’ll tell you a girl Dick was in love with — we all were. Her name was Nancy and she had everything: A cameo-cut face so beautiful it hurt you to look and a divine figure. A voice like an angel. She played the piano like a dream, painted beautifully, acted even bet- ter. But she gave only one of us more than a kind glance and that’s the guy she mar- ried. Dick called her, ‘The Goddess.’ ” And then, the Army Maybe it's just as well that Chambo didn't score. Only four months after he drove home from Pomona with his sheep- skin, the Army nabbed him. That was a blow Dick hadn't counted on and it chopped low. “It was painful enough to leave Pomona.” he remembers. “But then to get slugged with a ‘Greet- ings!’” It was only the beginning of two years which in Dick Chamberlain’s book, add up to one long, frustrated waste. Symbolic of his futility was the mural he painted in the dining hall at Fort Old. where he went first for basic training. It was a mighty project — 18 feet high and 35 feet long and covered one whole wall — a wharf scene, because Ord’s beside Monterey Bay. Dick worked like a dog finishing it the final four weeks. Everyone from the C.O. on down patted him on the back. Again, Dick was in the spotlight: again, it meant nothing. “Right after I left,” he sighs, “the next C.O. ordered the whole thing painted out. No great loss, I suppose.” Perhaps, but still frustrating. Private Chamberlain left for Seattle with the 32nd Infantry heading for occupa- tion duty in Korea. Next a transport plane dumped him at Pusan and another dumped him at a place called Camp Hovey, 30 miles in from Seoul, ll was Endsville in Bamboo Lane. “If lliere was anything around there worth seeing or doing I never discovered it.” says Dick. “ 1 he most uplifting activity was drinking beer. Even Jess exciting than the scenery or suds was Dick’s job — company clerk. “I bad to do all the paper work,” says Dick. “Morning reports, company corre- spondence. filing, personal cases, court- martial records and stuff. It took me eight months before I was really on top of that job.” They rewarded him with a corporal’s stripes and finally a staff sergeant s. Dick would have settled for his PFC without the headaches. “Until 'Dr. Kildare. he says, “I had never worked so hard in my life.” The only relief he had in fourteen months was a seven-day pass to Japan on the standard "R and R” — Rest and Relax- ation. All Dick had time to see was Tokyo, which is a sort of Oriental Los Angeles with kimonos and crazy neon lights. He stayed at a USO hotel, sat through Kabuki shows, peeked in at a few geisha tourist traps, fumbled through sakiyaki and tem- pura with chopsticks, prowled the Ginza and bought a couple of cameras. In one shop he also picked up one of those cute Japanese dolls, the live kind. She had an American name, “Toni” and spoke good English. “A lovely girl, all right.” allows Dick, “but it was hardly a romance. 1 wanted to see the inside of a Japanese home so I pestered her to take me to hers. She finally did. but 1 discovered her par- ents didn't think much of the idea, or of GI’s. either. All in all. I didn’t have such a terrific time in Japan — or anywhere else in the Army. I felt like I was just getting old and learning nothing. 1 wanted to get started, for God’s sake.” Dick spent his final service weeks at Fort MacArthur. right out of Los Angeles. He itched so to get going in Hollywood that before they let him loose he rattled up there after duty, in a dinky Renault he bought for lessons with Carolyn Trojanow- ski and Jeff Corey. Then he was free at long last, but loaded with problems. Seasons of despair “Briefly, they were, no money, no place to live, no experience and no contacts,” sums up Dick. His first attempts to get all four were pretty discouraging. For three months he lived at home, way down in Laguna Beach where his folks had moved, but Dick soon discovered that Tom Wolfe was right: You can’t go home again. His family was sympathetic with his ambition but nobody exactly cheered. How could they? He was just one of a thousand others with the same long odds against him. “I didn’t want to take dough from my folks, but I did.” says Dick. “I had to have lessons and I had to eat." He also had to pay $60 a month for a Holly- wood pad in what Dick calls. “The Dismal Arms.” The years 1958-59 are not rose- tinted in Dick Chamberlain’s memory. They were the seasons of despair. Dick expresses it neatly: “There’s nothing so depressing as being on the outside of show business, trying to get in.” And that’s it.

(Airmail Postage to England 15c) Of course, it’s also the oldest story in Hollywood. For the brash, the brassy, the thick-skinned, it can be an exciting game. But the sensitive suffer. Dick had never flailed helplessly at thin air before. Al- ways some good things had come his way, whether he really enjoyed them or not. Now nothing, and nobody seemed to care. “I almost went out of my mind,” Dick admits. He was only twenty-four but already he lived in a neighborhood of defeat. His apartment house was filled with old people who had long since had it. The hall was chronically posted with funeral notices. It was dismal cooking and eating his skimpy meals alone, standing in line to pick up an unemployment check, doing nothing most nights except study and read. Even the job he finally found attending the para- lyzed woman, was not what you’d call cheerful. “Still, I was lucky,” Dick Chamberlain believes today. “All that time I had very wise people keeping tab on me and crack- ing down.” Two were Carolyn Trojanow- ski and Jeff Corey. Low or not. Dick never stopped taking lessons. And they weren’t always encouraging. Jeff Corey is a drama expert who has helped straighten out such stars as Tony Perkins. Gardner McKay, Diane Varsi and Tony Quinn. “The thing I liked about Chambo,” he says, “was his sensitivity and charm. He had a lot of good stuff. But he had done mostly classical things in college and was inclined to be too lyrical. It was hard to bring him down to earth. I used to tell him. 'Dick, for Heavens sake, go out in the back yard and rub some dirt on your face!’” Corey put Dick in a class where the “climate was stressful.” Students there were trying to strip themselves down to their own raw juices. “It was painful for Dick,” recalls Corey. “His face turned red and he broke out in sweats. He wasn’t ready for that.” That was when Dick Chamberlain came close to quitting. Wise- ly, Corey put him in another class that was milder and he carried on. “But he was always shy,” concludes Corey, “and it’s too bad. There are a lot of wonderful things about Chambo that most people don’t get to see.” For a long time few around Hollywood saw more than a handsome, mannerly, young man who’d like a job acting. Only the ones who got to know him became boosters. One was Lilie Messinger, former personnel assistant to Louis B. Mayer, late boss of MGM. A friend of Dick’s family sent him to Lilie, who’d “retired” and turned agent. In her day she’d helped hundreds of newcomers get started but now the last client she wanted was a raw unknown. “Things were too difficult in the industry,” she explains, “And I’d promised myself I’d never go through that again.” But when she met Dick. “He was so charming and attractive,” she says, “I couldn’t refuse.” Wherever Lilie Messinger took Dick, however, others found refusals compara- tively easy. Everybody liked him; nobody gave him a job. He was always, “Not quite right.” Dick, however, takes some of the blame. “I think it was largely my own fault,” says Dick today. “I froze up on interviews. When they asked me to read I got a block that reached clear back to third grade. I couldn't sell myself. They could see I was no professional, not yet anyway.” “No, Dick wasn’t,” agrees A1 Tresconi, MGM’s casting chief, who looked him over then, as he had even before at a Pomona College play. “But if you have it in the eyes — you have it. They tell the story. Put it this way: The first time I saw Dick Chamberlain I thought, If nothing else I’d like this boy to be a friend of mine,” Tresconi had nothing cooking then to put Dick Chamberlain in but he made a mental note; Good bet for a long term MGM contract. That’s exactly what Dick finally got, of course, but not until his wide eyes had opened 'considerably wider by the hot- foots of show business. His very first “break” in a TV pilot for “You’re Only Young Once,” turned into exactly one line which he delivered with three other people yelling “Goodbye” to a wedding party. There was a movie, too, “The Se- cret of the Purple Reef,” and again Dick’s hopes rocketed up only to descend with a thud when they scissored his part to noth- ing. Then Lilie Messinger went to work for a network — and now Dick had no agent. Now and then he managed to pick up some small TV spots on his own. in “Gunsmoke,” “Mister Lucky,” an Alfred Hitchcock, “Bourbon Street Beat.” “I got by,” he sums it up, “with an occasional loan from home, my chauffeur job and a work check now and then.” Was he dis- couraged? “It was scary at times, sure,” Dick allows calmly. “But I didn’t expect too much too soon. I knew what I was up against. It all depends on what you want and how badly you want it. I wanted it pretty badly. That’s why I never stopped those lessons. I realized I wouldn’t get steady work until I rated it. When I did rate it . . . well, the break came along.” Family friend The break Dick means was when power- ful MCA took him on as a client. A friend of his family’s, Jack Bailey (Mister “Queen For A Day”), aced him in there. As agents, MCA thought big and acted the same way. All through 1960. as MGM waded carefully into television. Dick Chamberlain knocked steadily at MGM’s door. He went there first to make a west- ern pilot, “The Paradise Kid,” but in those days you couldn’t flip dials fast enough then to get away from new TV cow- boys. It didn’t sell. Next Dick tried out for a tentative half hour version of “Dr. Kil- dare.” Nobody wanted it at first so that effort was dropped. He showed up again for another pilot, “Father of the Bride.” He wasn’t the type. Then “Dr. Kildare” came up again — a big hour show now with the works behind it. MCA shot Dick right out again. This time MGM invited him in to stay. That was December, 1960. Of course, it wasn’t that simple. It never is. For a time both “Dr. Kildare” and Dick Chamberlain were on trial. Launching a major TV series is something like a blast off at Canaveral. If it goes into orbit, everybody’s a hero; if it fizzles, they come up hums. Dick knew that thirty-five other actors with far bigger “names” than his, which was minuscule, had tested for Jim Kildare. He also knew that one big reason he got it was because he came cheaper than most. The money wasn’t too impor- tant. hut the opportunity was. It could be 88 the beginning for him — or possibly the end. The situation called for a Chamber- lain speciality, control under pressure. And once again. Dick Chamberlain was where he seemed always to land — in the spotlight and yet all alone. In this respect things changed hardly at all for Dick when Director Boris Sagal saw rushes of the first “Kildare” show, bustled up to the front office and told anxious MGM execs, “Stop Worrying!” Ulcers healed magically all over t he lot. But for Dick it was different. He was on the spot. What his pal. Bob Towne, calls “Dick’s disciplined ambition" has yet to let him step off to relax and enjoy his good luck. From the start Dick’s poker-mask has made it all look ridiculously easy. It never was. “The first year,” says a director who guided him often, “Dick Chamberlain got by mainly on his nerve and his good looks.” Raymond Massey adds benevolent- ly, “Dick lias grown an awful lot in this job.” But there’ve been growing pains, too. Most are connected with Dick’s period of adjustment to life as a public figure. Psychologically, he wasn't cut out for that. His setside ease Secure on Stage 11 Dick is comfortable, as he always has been in a tight little group who know him, work with him. have learned to like and understand him. “In fact.” says his makeup man. Jack Dusick. “sometimes you almost forget Dick's around. Problems? Never. I just pat on some ‘pancake’ and Dick seldom looks in the mirror.” The other day. Bill Sargent, an actor friend of Dick’s with a small part, lound himself without a light in his dress- ing room. Chambo noticed Bill struggling to dress in the dark, politely asked an elec- trician for a fixture then installed it him- self. rather than make even a minor fuss. That’s typical of his setside ease. He’s a pleasure to work with. Yet, barely a year ago. after Dick was interviewed on TV before a live audience of women, he stepped off the stage, clutched his stomach, and mumbled to Chuck Painter. “I think I’m going to be sick!” Last summer in New York he cautiously timed his arrivals at Broadway shows so that he could walk to his seat in the dark, and leave before the lights went up. “Dick’s improved. Now he’s more self confident in a crowd.” believes Pain- ter, who is usually at his side. “But he doesn’t like to be ruffled-— no surprises. Dick wants to be all set.” Last year when Lilie Messinger sold NBC on Arthur Freed s TV spectacular, “Hollywood Melody,” she suggested Dick and got a yes. She called Dick late at night and told him the news. “Oh, my gosh!" he protested. “I don't think I’m ready.” PHOTOGRAPHERS’ CREDITS Pg 32 (Connie Stevens): Hayden-Vista, (Kim Novak) Frank Bez; pg 34: Orlando-Globe; pgs 36-37: Sketches by Jon Whitcomb; pg 41 : Leaf-Prange; pgs 42-43: Jack Stager-Globe; pgs 44-45: Don Ornitz- Globe; pg 51: Bill Kobrin; pg 53: Trindl-Topix; pg 55: Hayden-Vista; pg 57: Rayment Kirby; pgs 58- 59: Lee Kraft; pgs 60-61 : Rayment Kirby; pg 62: Art Palmer; pg 68: Annan Photo Features. Dick was ready enough to score a vocal hit in his live TV debut, singing “Man- hattan” with Shirley Jones — as smooth as if he’d been doing that sort of thing all his life. But only his voice coach, Dick and a few people close to him know how he worked and worried every day until the show went on the air. One bunch was his “Kildare” crew, who sent him a gag wire to break the tension right before his number: “MY DADDY IS LETTING ME STAY UP LATE TONIGHT TO HEAR YOU SING. CAROLINE.” Someone else, even closer, knew about the lonely fights Dick Chamberlain stages with himself to come through cool, calm and perfect in a challenge like that. “I knew Dick would be up to it. He's up to anything,” says Clara Ray. “But my heart ached to be there backing him up.” Instead Clara was in Houston on a singing engagement. All she could do was send another wire: “GIVE ’EM BOTH BAR- RELS. SWEETIE.” That’s precisely what Dick Chamberlain has been doing, of course, every since he started stalking an acting career in his solitary, bird dog way. The method’s hard to beat; nothing succeeds like success. Yet. some who know him well think it’s time Dick scattered his shots in other directions. “Dick looks like a kid but he’s pushing thirty,” one points out. “School ought to be out for him now. He needs fun. a fling, some wild oats. It’s right here for him and he rates relaxation. He works hard enough on ‘Kildare.’ ” “I can’t criticize Dick for pushing his break with self-improvement,” says an- other. “More power to him. But if he doesn't watch out. he’ll pass over some of the real things in life that make a man grow, too.” But yet another disagrees vigorously. "Dick is having all the fun and living he needs but in his own way. Few people understand him. Basically Dick is an artist, also he’s intelligent. His tastes are sophis- ticated. They’re tied to art and culture as they have been ever since he began to grow up. Dick simply doesn't enjoy the aimless socializing, party, nightclub and playboy swinging that attract most empty headed Hollywood bachelors who suddenly make it. It takes all kinds.” Dick Chamberlain explains himself like this: “Right now it’s important to me to satisfy myself as an actor, a singer and an all around performer. I still take these lessons because I realized long ago that I'd never get what I wanted unless I did. After you go around for months without getting a job you tell yourself. ‘Wait a minute, something’s wrong!’ What was wrong with me was that I wasn’t worth anything to anyone, so nobody wanted me. I've been extremely lucky. My break at MGM came after a long fallow period. I’m grateful. But I wasn’t sure I wanted to do a TV series when I started. I know now I don’t want to do one forever, even if that were possible. The question with me is: After ‘Dr. Kildare.’ then what? “I think I’ll end up on the stage,” Dick continues. “I’ve found I love it and I think my future’s there more than TV or even movies. So I’m preparing, that’s all. Sure, I like fun and people as well as the next guy. It’s a constant frustration with me not to be able to join in more. Only right now I simply don’t have the time.” THERE’S IN C.B. TALC Going places this summer? You’ll go fur- ther if you sprinkle refreshing Cashmere Bouquet inside your sandals.

W-914, N.Y.C. 2 What free time Dick Chamberlain has he spends mostly with Clara Ray. He’s had other girls. Before Clara there was Vicki Thai, John Saxon’s ex-girl friend, whom Dick met in his dance class. He has also taken out Anne Helm and Joan Benny, among others. But Dick has always been a one girl at a time man and right now it’s Clara. Clara Ray’s own career often takes her out of Hollywood singing on the hotel, fiesta and operetta circuits. But when she’s home “Clarie and Dickie.” as they call each other, make a duo. Sometimes Clara cooks Dick a steak at her tiny Hollywood apartment while he works up an appetite on her piano; other nights the same scene shifts to Dick’s hideaway. When they’re feeling grand they dress up and dine at Windsor House or Trader Vic’s for Dick’s favorite Polynesian food. Once or twice they’ve shot the bankroll at the Beverly Hilton’s Escoffier Room, where you can get a modest little snack for about $25 a copy. Afterwards, if they aren’t due for a lesson or an MPT project, they like movies, off-Boulevard productions, or opera when it’s in town. On rare workless weekends, they usually head for the beach. Thursday nights, of course, TV is a must. Clara always wears the diamond pen- dant Dick gave her even when she does a “Kildare” show. She gives him potted plants for his sun deck and on his last birthday, after much trial and error, baked Dick a big fudge-iced chocolate cake. “He must like me” “I wanted it to be perfect,” sighs Clara. “I spent all day on it. put in a dozen eggs and two pounds of butter. But when I took it out of the oven right before the party it looked like an oversized pancake! It was so hard that I had to use both hands to cut it. I’d forgotten to sift the flour. But Dick actually ate a piece and said it was delicious. He must like me.” Clara Ray can speak plainer than that. If she won’t, facts will: Clara is the kind of girl Dick Chamberlain has always fallen in love with — a bundle of femininity, smart, talented and loaded with personal- ity. She’s twenty-four to Dick’s twenty- seven. They like the same things, have every interest in common. To Clara Dick is “A marvelous person, so dependable and sweet and we couldn’t have more fun together.” But when you mention mar- riage. she gazes demurely off into space. “Why,” she says innocently, “we’ve never had that on our minds at all!" Dick’s more explicit: “Marriage? Lord no — not now,” he protests. “I want to be married someday, of course. I think that’s probably the greatest adventure of all — and the most ticklish. Too many people toss it away. I might if I married now. I’m just not ready yet. Say, when I'm about thirty-two.” Dick’s brother. Bill, is just thirty-five, but as usual way ahead of him there. Bill and his pretty wife, Pat, have three handsome children. Carole. Bill. Jr., and Mike. Like all of Dick Chamberlain’s family, Bill and Pat keep resolutely out of Dick’s career, on the premise that it’s his private party. They don’t share in his publicity and refuse to talk about Dick. The only one who’s been curious enough to visit the “Dr. Kildare” set is his mother, still so pretty that Ray Massey mistook her for an actress. But a big “Welcome” is always out on the mats, both at Laguna Beach and Woodland Hills, where Bill lives. The Chamberlain brothers are closer now than they were as kids. Dick borrows family life mostly from Bill, Pat and the kids. To “Uncle Dickie,” Bill and Pat’s chil- dren are “my kids.” Dick spoils them with presents and sneaks off to play with them when he gets a chance. He even keeps a pair of roller skates hanging in his kitchen, so he can race them on the side- walk when he comes out. a stunt which has mixed social blessings for the junior Chamberlains. “There goes that Carole Chamberlain with her Uncle Dick.” sniffed a jealous miss from the Collier Street School the other day. “She thinks she’s pretty smartl ” Last Christmas Dick took them with him aboard a float down Holly- wood Boulevard's Santa Claus Lane where they fell promptly to sleep. What the neighborhood kids thought of that is unrecorded. If Dick Chamberlain does wait until he's thirty-two to make a home and found his own family, with Clara Ray or anyone else, he runs the risk of missing out on a hunk of important living, which even the most glorious career might not make up for. By then, unless they run out of patients, “Dr. Kildare” might still be hogging the TV screen, or Dick Chamberlain might be the toast of Broadway. Either way. chances are he’ll be rich. Already Dick makes four times the $400 a week MGM paid when they signed him. plus his loot from re- cordings. This spring he'll keep working straight through an eight weeks “Kildare” layoff to star in his first MGM movie. Any day, if he had time, he could take off for the big money singing at Las Vegas, or the prestige clubs and hotels all around the land. Not long ago Martin Green went to Vegas with Dick to catch Carol Burnett in her act. “When she came on Dick clutched the table as if struggling to hold himself hack,” says Martin. “You could tell he was just dying to get up there.” What he makes now Dick socks care- fully away in a savings account. He took on a business manager the other day though he has no wheeler-dealer financial plans. “We’ll see,” he says cagily. “Frank- ly. I love money and I intend to save it and keep it.” Dick bought his car, a “second suit” and tuxedo with his first MGM pay- checks, has banked most of them since. His only extravagances so far are Martin Green’s paintings. “Dick is always talking about buying a new car or a house,” says Clara Ray. “I don’t think he’ll do either soon. He’s cautious and intelligent about his money.” The house is one thing, Dick admits, “I want very much. I’d like to find a lot high in the hills with a wonderful view,” and build a place to suit my own needs. Then,” he grins, “I’d really be on top of the world.” But it could be. too. by that time, he'd add up to a crusty old bachelor still look- ing for the real Dick Chamberlain to step forward. For, Dick faces the trap most super serious actors face: all art and no reality can come up artificiality. And so far, Dick’s street is distressingly one-way. “More than anyone I know,” says a close friend, “Dick needs the anchor of a wife, the stability of a home, a family.” If Dr. Kildare could prescribe for Dick _ Chamberlain, a wife might be just what i he’d order. Not only to banish the essen- i tial loneliness Dick has known all his life, hut to dispel his fears and crack the bland, boyish mask he wears for the world. It still hides the fascinating man under- neath, still makes Dick Chamberlain seem to most people what he is not. For it is the mask — and the mask alone — that keeps people from knowing how much more than a boy he is. Only the other day, dressed in T-shirt and jeans, Dick wandered into a Laguna Beach drugstore, riffled through the maga- Continued from page 33 me about it. My mother won't like it. Only i last Christmas she warned me not to take I any nude photographs. But I guess if you l want to be a true artist this kind of thing is necessary.” DOLORES HART: “I would say ab- solutely not. And I don't care if it’s the greatest part in the world. No role in any picture is important enough for an actress to sacrifice her womanhood — and all that a woman has is her femininity. One of the big farces in Hollywood is the emphasis upon integrity, yet some people who are 1 always talking about it are often willing to put a role ahead of their dignity. We have responsibilities in being actors and ac- tresses. If you pose in the nude for a role, you may be on the screen for twenty-four seconds at the most, hut you have to live . with yourself for twenty-four hours a day.” DIANE McBAIN : “Absolutely no. If I can’t get by on legitimate acting ability, I'll retire.” STEFANIE POWERS: “No. I wouldn’t. I don’t feel that my type of character or image at this point would call for it. And i even if it did, I wouldn’t do it.” CARROLL BAKER: “Yes, I guess I yielded to the nakedness trend in “Station 6 Sahara” — and for a magazine layout, too. All our barriers are breaking down; we’re reverting to a pagan society. If the First Lady wears tight Capri pants and a swim suit, what are we poor actresses supposed to do to attract attention?” SANDRA DESCHER: “I wouldn’t do it for any amount of money. My rea- sons are both professional and moral. Professionally speaking, I think audiences | couldn’t ever visualize you in a June Ally- son-type role again if you posed in the nude. Also, I don’t think producers or directors would he able to see you in any other type of role either, once you’d done that. “Morally speaking, I just wouldn’t want to pose in the nude, even if it was going to win me an Academy Award — which I zine rack and came up with a “Dr. Kil- dare” comic book.

And if this is what success is based upon, no, thank you.” ELIZABETH ALLEN: “If it was a role that I felt was a good role, and if a nude scene were indigenous to my portrayal of the character, 1 would do it. “But I would not do it for sensational- ism. It would have to be a role that called for an actress as an actress, not as a girl who has a beautiful body. I would be per- forming as an actress, and the fact that I was nude would be secondary. Also, it would have to be a role that was worthy of the sacrifice.” IOANNA MOORE: “An actress’ duty is to perform the role. And if it was in the script and important to the character delineation, I would do it.” MIKKI JAMISON: “No, thanks . . . nothing’s left to the imagination!

Continued from page 66 into my first ‘Hawaiian Eye' role with a dedication I had never known before. 1 studied and I worked. Believe me. it showed. That episode was the best I have ever done.” Connie smiled self-consciously as she said. “You know. I started to say before that I had been a fraud, but that’s not true. Not true at all. Trying to be objective, I realize that no one is ever the same person from one year to the next. We all change. We grow. I think that’s what’s happened to me. I’ve grown up. 1 want different things now. different goals. “The change that has taken place in me touches many different aspects of my life. 1 even feel differently about men. A short while ago I wanted nothing more than someone to love. Now I know that is not enough. I know myself better and I know what I need. I must have a man who is as successful as I. who is equal to me in courage, intelligence, glamour and spunk.” She paused, then declared strong- ly. “No. that’s wrong. He can’t be merely my equal. He must be more. I have to know that the man I love will be just a tiny bit superior to me in every way. I must feel that he will literally be — and deserve to be — the head of our house. “I no longer believe that a person knows only one true love in a lifetime. I did before, but now I realize that a first love may be a wrong love. The old Connie Stevens wouldn't have minded if the man she cared for was a streetcleaner. The new Connie Stevens must have a man who is a success, not for the money his success will bring but because of the qualities a person must possess in order to achieve success — strength, wisdom, intelligence.” A giggle escaped Connie and shattered her serious mood. With the air of a small child uttering forbidden, shocking words she declared. “All this surprises you. doesn’t it? I don’t sound like the old me. do I? Well, you see. I'm not. “I've even changed my friends. I’ve dis- associated myself from many of the people who were constantly around me. I had gathered a group of hangers-on and I must shamefully admit that I had learned to ac- cept them as part of my life. “The realization hit me one day with a terrible shock that these people were en- couraging me to become the type of person I had always despised. 1 knew I must cut myself free of them. I knew I just had to. The entourage “I was out shopping that day. 1 wasn't alone, of course. I never wanted to be alone. I was accompanied by my entour- age. I had a large list of errands to do and as we drove up in front of the first store two of the people with me jumped out of the car and said. ‘Sit where you are, Connie. We ll shop for you.’ “It was that way all day. Anticipating my every move, they ran ahead of me to get a clerk’s attention, to pick up pack- ages. to save me a few steps whenever they could. Obligingly, they went wherever I wanted to go, constantly flattering me. “In short, it was a day that was fairly common for the Connie Stevens of old. but suddenly I saw it all with a terrible, blind- ing clarity. I saw for the first time what I had actually become. I was accepting these people around me because I needed them to make me feel important! I wasn't the only Hollywood performer to be so sur- rounded, but I couldn’t tolerate it any longer. These weren’t normal friendships I had developed. These people acted as my servants and I accepted it as my due. "I stopped it. As abruptly as that. I couldn’t hurt them by completely severing our relationships, but I began to make my- self less available to them until they were forced to make lives of their own. “Now I’ve found new friends, real friends who are equal to me and to whom I am an equal. No longer do I want people around merely to cater to me. I want friends who are independent and strong.” Connie’s face was solemn, her words ut- tered with an intensity that seemed a part of this fascinating new personality. She leaned forward and said, “So that you’ll understand exactly how I feel, I’m going to tell you about this boy. I’m sorry I can’t mention his name. He is one of the most talented young men in Hollywood, but — though I didn't realize it at the time — very lazy. As our closeness grew he leaned on me more and more until I became his strength and his drive. I would urge him on. encourage him to try. I became his Mother Confessor. Finally I knew that the end had to come. I realized that if I really cared for him I would cut him adrift and force him to make his own way. “Do you know what has happened since we parted? He has become more success- ful than he ever was. He had always been terribly shy, but now that he does not have me he has been forced to come out of his shell and meet people. He no longer has my strength to use and has had to develop a strength of his own. Our parting was the best thing for us both.” “I want so much . . Unexpectedly Connie’s mood changed and she laughed lightheartedly as she veered to yet another facet of her new personality. “You have no idea how dif- ferent I’ve become,” she declared. “Why. do you know that I'm even planning on renting my own apartment? I really am. I’ve decided the time has come when I should live alone. I needed people around me before, but I don't any longer. For the first time in my life I feel I can find the things I want more easily if I am by myself. “What do I want? Many things. I want to become a dedicated actress and a deep- er person. I want friends, but only those who are independent. Eventually, I want marriage to a man I can respect and adore.” She flung her arms apart in a ges- ture that encompassed the whole world and cried, “Oh, I want so very much!” Abruptly she jumped up, as lightly as a kitten bouncing to its feet. “Oh, I just re- membered,” she exclaimed. “I haven't shown you my latest love.” She ran from the room and returned a moment later with a large leather pouch which she placed tenderly upon the table. “Look.” she whispered reverently as she Vote Today— A Gift Is Waiting For You!

She held a ring to the light and said. “Isn’t it beautiful? That’s a 30-carat sapphire and those are 40 dia- monds that surround it.” She set it care- fully down and picked up a bracelet, mur- muring as she ran her fingers lovingly against the stones, “These are sapphires and these are diamonds.” Next she dis- played a pair of earrings designed to look like delicate flowers with petals of rubies, emeralds, sapphires and diamonds. Finally she drew from an inner pocket of the pouch a tiny golden watch, encrusted with diamonds. “Isn’t it gorgeous,” she sighed. She stared lovingly at the display before her and then murmured, as if the words would help convince her that all this splen- dor was actually hers, “Do you know these jewels are worth $38,000! I’ll be paying for them for years, but I don't mind.” I teased Connie by asking if her jewelry was part of the new, more sophisticated Connie Stevens. She tossed her head back dramatically, ran her fingers seductively through her hair and in a voice that sound- ed amazingly like Zsa Zsa Gabor said, “But of course, dollink. Vot else?” Her imitation didn’t quite come off. She looked glamorous and alluring, but she couldn't hide the impish sparkle that shone from her eyes. Connie has changed. She has become more mature and sophisti- cated. But she has not lost the youthful- charm, the little-girlish appeal, the charm- ing innate sweetness that her fans have come to know and to love. As much as she might be different, there is one part of herself that remains the same. She still is basically and most definitely Connie Ste- vens. And for that, we can be glad. — Marilyn Beck Connie’s latest film is Warners’ “Palm Springs Week-End.” Watch her on ABC- TV’s “Hawaiian Eye,” Tues. at 8:30 EDT. Continued from page 13 Zsa Zsa and her new rich husband gave a big party for her daughter on her six- teenth birthday. Her father is hotel tycoon Conrad Hilton. The place was jammed with the young lady’s teenage chums. A very joyful and dignified event. But it was seeing Zsa Zsa as a happy and proud mother that made the eyes feel good. Most of us who report the Broadway- Hollywood scene didn’t think the Sammy Davis, Jr.-May Britt merger would last. You never saw a happier looking pair. And those children! Simply beautiful. Even May seems to have a new beauty since she married Junior and was forsaken by the Hollywood producers who feared her mar- riage to a Negro would cost them money. Sammy, who has never worked harder or “// I had known we were going Bowling, / would have dressed more 005001^.” steadier, apparently discovered that mar- riage to La Britt was better for his state of mind and health than being a grownup playboy-member of the clan. He rarely cuts capers with that group now.

One of us suspects Yvonne got terribly bored and decided to resume the act mainly to entertain herself. Then there’s that very-easy-money at Vegas. “McLintock!” is her fiftieth movie.

He introduced himself and gave her the title role in “Salome Where She Danced." ❖ Roberta Sherwood’s legion of fans (the ones who buy her recordings of “Lazy River” and “You’re Nobody Till Somebody Loves You”) will be as thrilled as this re- porter is about her latest success. Her first role in a movie was hailed by critics. So was the picture, M-G-M’s “The Courtship of Eddie’s Father.” She co-stars with Glenn Ford and Shirley Jones. Imag- ine. Roberta Sherwood, who resumed her show-biz career when she was forty-five (following a two-line rave about her song- stylings in our newspaper col’m) clicks big in her first movie assignment. Daily Variety’s man said in part: “Metro has a solid hoxoffice contender. Some un- usual casting ingenuity went into the mak- ing of this picture, for which producer Pasternak is to be congratulated. Both Roberta Sherwood and Jerry Van Dyke, for example, make their film debuts and each makes a strong, vivid impression!” In 1956 Roberta sang for as low as $10 a night in various Miami Beach and Miami bars and grills. To help support her three children and very ill husband, who was once a Broadway leading man. Her way with a song was ear-perfume when we first heard her in a small night club near the Roney-Plaza Hotel. We sa- luted her with these words: “Tip to all Recording execs. Hurry down to Miami Beach and hear Roberta Sherwood sing a torch tune. Get yourself a free goldmine!” Several recording execs flew there at once and the rest is show biz history. * In “Irma La Douce.” Jack Lemmon (speaking about sinful Sallies) says: “Love is illegal — but not hate.

That Work- shop considers creative writing acceptable as a Master’s thesis. But it was turned down unanimously as ‘unacceptable.’ ” Not too many years later, Mr. Williams saw his “Glass Menagerie” produced in Chicago where it was a smash hit. It sub- sequently moved to Broadway and nation- wide fame. It was the play that established Williams as a top-notcher. * This observer has been doing a lot of movie-going lately. He regrets to report that too many of them were pretty bad. Anti-tainment is the word. “Follow The Boys,” for example. A slow- ly-paced piece of nonsense that wasted Janice Paige, Paula Prentiss, Connie Francis and several others. “Madame,” starring Sophia Loren. What a waste of money ! “Forever My Love,” with Karl Boehm and Romy Schneider. She was so very good in “Boccaccio 70.” His performance in “Brothers Grimm” was believable. In “For- ever,” you can’t believe your orbs. Two more zeros, in our opinion, were “Sodom and Gomorra,” starring Stewart Granger and an import called “No Exit.” A picture named “Lovers Of TerueL tried to be different — a delightful novelty. Girls, don’t let the rumors get you down about Hollywood being overcrowded with beauty and talent. The latest newcomer to Girlsburg to land in a picture with no pre- vious screen experience is Charlene Holt. Not only land in a major studio’s film hut as one of the leads, by gum. Opposite Rock Hudson no less! With re- cent newcomer to Hollywood. Paula Pren- tiss playing Leading Lady. Charlene’s dehut will he in Universal’s “Man’s Favorite Sport,” Howard Hawks producing. It was Mr. Hawks who dis- covered Charlene only a few Photoplays ago and persuaded her to give up a $50,000 a year modeling job. Besides giving up $50,000 a year Charlene, a native of Abi- lene. Texas, also had to lose her Southern accent in a hurry — which she did. Prac- tically overnight. How. some people may inquire, does a girl with no experience as an actress, con- nect with a leading role in a film starring Rock Hudson? Well, all this reporter can tell you is, ; that you first have to see Miss Holt. And then you will see what “got” Mr. Hawks. Besides all that natural beauty (36-24- 36 ) chic and class, she has a ticket-seller known as a glide-like walk. Oh. Brother! I mean. Oh. Charlene! Happy Hollywood, young lady. Your fu- ture looks bright. Considering that Mr. Hawks’ other discoveries include Lauren Bacall, Carole Lombard. Joan Collins.

As a symbol of — well, the richness of the woman. A lovely headdress — diadem-shaped — from which hangs a simple veil of silk tulle. “For jewelry— I would suggest pearls, and pearls only. Pearl earrings. The kind of thing I feel Elizabeth Taylor would wear on such an occasion. “The hands, of course, should be gloved. One white camellia “And for flowers — well, I almost would visualize her carrying a prayer book in- stead of a bouquet. Of course, this is up to her — a choice of how she wants to use her hands. But I would suggest a prayer- book. With, possibly, a single white camel- lia attached to it. To me the camellia is symbolic of the Drama, and, consequent- ly, of the actress in the woman; and, too, it is one of the most elegant of flowers. “That’s the word, yes — the key word here. I would want to make Elizabeth Taylor look extremely elegant for this, her wedding. “I know, there are people who im- mediately will say that she cannot look elegant — that she is shortish and volup- tuous and that her body does not lend it- self to the elegant look. But this is not true. It is true that she isn’t the typical model type — you know, the starved figure ■ — the fashion ideal. “But Elizabeth Taylor is typical of the feminine ideal. “And there is an inherent elegance in that. And that is the kind of elegance that I would like to stress here. . . Our second designer, Mme. Dache — - the chic and charming, the irrepressible and very-French Lilly, who said to us the other day: “I awoke at 4:20 this morning and I saw it — immediately — this beautiful wedding dress I would design for Elizabeth. “I saw first the headdress. A hooded cape, really. Which would cover the low- er half of the face. Because she must be a little coy, Elizabeth. A little demure. A little afraid of the world, almost ashamed to the world because of all the publicity of this past year. Except, of course, that the eyes will show — just those beauti- ful violet melting eyes, those mysterious eyes— and those eyes will say, ‘Yes, I do care— but still I am my self!’ The effect is pristine in feeling. In fact, to add to the pristine, we will fasten the cape at the side of the face with a bouquet of lilies- of-the-valley. Yes? For a note of ingenuity. And, to contrast, on the other side of the face an earring will show. Very large. And loaded with jewels. She’s mad about jew- els, as you know. Jewels — she adores them. So — gold and yellow diamonds. “About the dress now — I envision it made of silk chiffon. Vibrant orange. With a bodice, draped. Empire. This, too — pris- tine. And then, again for contrast — for a feeling of the double entendre — I see . . . the pants. “Yes. Pants! Which peer charmingly from beneath the dress. Knee pants of — leopard. They must be leopard. To sig- nify the whole Roman affair with Burton. When she wore the leopard so often. In the restaurants, the nightclubs, the cafes ... Of course, there was nothing discreet about the way she wore it then. She had the whole head of a leopard on her head for a hat — it looked. And she carried a leopard bag, large — carried it all during this ‘quiet’ love affair in Rome. And the coat — so completely leopard. But now, for the marriage, the effect will be softened. And we will use it only in the pants. And — perhaps — as a border to the headdress. Yes — that will be nice, don’t you think? “This, by the way, is not all meant to be extreme. Because Elizabeth can wear anything— absolutely anything, my dear. Her clothes are never too quiet or re- strained. Her dresses recently, for instance, are very short. And decollete. And the colors are always strong — bright reds, blues, greens. But she never looks ridic- ulous. She always looks beautiful. “Do I know Elizabeth? Let me say that I have served her. She has bought things here at the salon. I haven’t sized her up, however. I can’t in, so short a time. But I think she is absolutely exquisite. “She is, yes, of course, also one of the most-criticized women of our time. “They say she is spoiled, Elizabeth. But why shouldn’t she be? I mean to say, how could she not help Jout be? She has been spoiled ever since she was a child. She was a child actress, star — and you can imagine what that must be like. Anyway, I think the word spoiled is wrong in her case. I think she is not spoiled — hut com- ble. You know? Endowed by God with everything — form, magnificent face — ev- erything— so that she is bound to be unique . . . different . . . apart from the rest. “That she acts like a modern Cleo- patra as some people say — well, I think it CORRECTION Photoplay magazine regrets that in the April, 1963 issue, “Now Liz Poses Nude" inaccurately referred to “Liz Taylor’s stripping down and posing nude for old-friend Roddy McDowall, in Playboy magazine.” Mr. McDowall’s photographs of Miss Taylor were in the costumes she wears in the movie, “Cleopatra."

I imagine that there are not many men on earth who would not think it a marvelous caprice to know Elizabeth Tay- lor! And Burton — as for him, I can’t see how a man who plays love scenes with her as they did for so many long months on “Cleopatra,” how he could not help los- ing his head over her. Why, those ex- quisite eyes of hers, that expression of magnetism — I think she could look at that wall and the wall would melt! “It seems to me inevitable that the af- fair with Burton came about. They worked on this long movie together. And she es- pecially, the lead in the movie, the hero- ine— she worked so hard. And she was so exhausted when she got home. And the man with whom she bad shared her ex- periences of the day was no longer with her. And sometimes, two people, actors, who work together — they can be tighter than a husband and wife. And sometimes she must have gone back to that villa and to Fisher and found him a stranger. “I think Elizabeth has met a good man in Burton. In that he seems to dominate. As Todd dominated. Not to say that Fish- er or the other husbands were necessarily weak. Fisher, especially — with him, I think that he was just so much in love with Elizabeth that he seemed to be weak. It was the same with Marilyn Monroe and Arthur Miller, for instance. Sometimes, I remember — on a Saturday — Marilyn would come here to the salon to shop. With Mil- ler. And he would stand around, waiting, waiting, waiting for her to choose some- thing. With patience. As many other men or husbands would not do. And I thought to myself: ‘It is not that the man is a weak man — it is just that he is so much in love with this woman that he will do anything for her!’ “And so it was with Elizabeth and Fish- er, I think. At least, that’s how it seems. “But, of course, in the long run, this is an unnatural role for a man to play — and there was the split-up. With Elizabeth de- ciding that she wanted things differently. “And about this — when people say she does not care about what she does- — -I think she does care. And that is why I am doing the veil over half the face. To me, you see, she is young. And inexperienced. She does these things without thinking. She is of an emotional disposition and a passionate nature. And that is my idea of the dress — the ingenuity that covers the sexy part. The demure plus the irresisti- ble. The contrast. I repeat — the double en- tendre. “So that when Elizabeth stands still in this dress she looks pure, and other-world- ly, much as some figure in a painting. “And then the change comes when she moves — a-ha! — she shows everything! !” Glamorous and sexy We spoke lastly to Anthony Pettoruto — hailed by many as the finest of New York’s young designers — who told us: “First of all, I would be completely op- posed to Liz Taylor wearing anything traditional for her wedding to Burton. Not because it wouldn’t be ‘proper’ — I don’t go along with these people who claim she leads a wicked life; I mean, I have morals like everybody else — but I think Liz is just as ‘good’ and just as ‘bad’ as most other people. And not because I’m against seeing her in white — she’d look great in a white linen suit, say, or a white wool suit. But — well, I just don’t go for traditional or white in this case because Liz Taylor's Liz Taylor — and she should look as glamorous and sexy as possible, wedding or any other time. “That’s why I've created the Cleopatra wedding dress for her. “First, the name Cleopatra alone is sug- LIZ TAYLOR WEDDING DRESS I THINK LIZ SHOULD WEAR (CHECK ONE) Any comments? Any other recommendations for Liz?. □ #1 by Sylvan Rich □ #2 by Lilly Dache □ #3 by Anthony Pettoruto Mail t6: LIZ TAYLOR WEDDING DRESS, P.O. Box 3462, Grand Central Station, New York 17, N. Y. gestive of glamour, sex. Second, the whole mood of Cleopatra is certainly very close to Liz’ heart right now; and, too, I think people would expect her to maintain some sort of Egyptian feeling for a while. Third — and most important — what better style to signify her love for Burton, the man she met and fell head over heels in love with while making the picture. “Color? I’d make it yellow. Yellow on yellow. I don’t know why. It’s just the first color that comes to mind for Liz. Though I must admit — for a moment there — 1 did think of pink first. But then I figured that was just a little bit too cliche. “Fabric? I’d use flocked chiffon — vel- vet woven into chiffon, that is — so that the effect is warm, yet transparent. “As for the headdress — I’m not a hat man myself. But I think that for her wed- ding, Liz should definitely have her head covered. Something Egyptian-styled, of course. And so here I’ve designed this — well, babushka with a wire band, I guess is the easiest way to describe it. Of the same material as the dress — and using a velvet band to match the flocking in the dress. “The dress itself, I thought at first, should be Empire in style. But then I thought no, Liz might be too heavy in the midriff for this. So let’s cut the Empire. Though let’s not cut the decollete. But in- stead keep it very very decollete. Because Liz’ bosom is, let’s face it. one of her great attributes. And something she’s con- stantly showing anyway. I mean, I haven’t seen her in an afternoon dress where there wasn’t half the bust exposed. And I think this is the way it should be in my dress for her. Chesty. Revealing. The kind of thing worn by a woman who enjoys up- setting men. The kind of thing Liz is al- ways wearing. “One thing that I would want, however — is for the dress to be very uncluttered. And I hope Liz would go along with this, for a change. Because, let’s face it, she doesn’t have the best taste in clothes. At least, not to me she doesn’t. “I’ve liked Liz, admired her, ever since I was a kid, let it be said here. I’m only a few years older than she is and you might say we grew up together. I saw her in “National Velvet,” I remember — I was about sixteen, seventeen; she was about fourteen — and I was so impressed with her beauty that I actually wanted to sit down and write her a fan letter. “Also, despite what you hear about her — and who knows what to believe any- more?— I maintain that Liz is a sweet girl. I’ve seen her a few times, at pretty close range, and the sweet and even kind of serious expression on her face has al- ways surprised me. I mean, I feel that if we were ever to meet, she’d be — well, she’d be nice — and there isn’t much more you you can ask from a person. “But to get back to that other issue — Liz and fashion — I think she’s sadly lack- ing here. To me — and I’ll be honest — she has emphasized her figure too much when she’s been overweight. And, over- weight or not, she is generally careless in the way she dresses. Unkempt. Disheveled. Windblown-looking. And, sometimes, she even looks as if she’s slept in her clothes. And this just isn’t right for a girl in her position. In fact, it isn’t right for any girl. 96 “But especially with someone in the limelight — well, I feel you should be a fashion plate, a style setter, if you’re con- stantly in the public eye. Girls like Jackie Kennedy. Grace Kelly, Audrey Hepburn — these are fashion plates. If you saw the Academy Award show this year, you’ll remember Joan Crawford walking out on- to that stage in the dress completely cov- ered with sequins and beads, and looking like Joan Crawford should look, like you expect her to look — that's a fashion plate. And. more subdued. Olivia deHavilland on the Awards show, in her lovely gown, the semi-fitted A-line dress in that elegant fabric — another fashion plate. “But with Liz — with all her money, with all her exposure — she just puts something on, it seems. With a defiance that goes against that inner sweetness I feel about her. As if to say to a world that’s always chiding her. ‘I don’t care what I look like — because I’m too confident of my beauty to care!’ “Well, there may be some justification for this attitude, psychologically — but I don't think it helps Liz’ appearance any. “And you know — someday, if I ever do meet her — I think I might just tell her this. “Or maybe, after they’re married — Bur- ton will. Somebody should!” — Ed deBlasio Liz and Burton are in 20th’s “Cleopatra,” and M-G-M’s “Very Important Persons.” Continued from page 73 more? What did he do? What happened? “He asked me, but I just said no. I told him, ‘I’m too tired,’ and that I had gone twisting the night before and I didn't get home till five in the morning. And then he wanted me to go to Gene Autry’s party — you know he owns Bo’s ball team, the Angels. But I was just too tired. I liked him a lot, but I just didn't know what he was trying to do.” You thought maybe he was just on the make? “Yeah, that was right. I'd heard about him from girls he’d dated, and I thought. ‘Well, if he’s that way . . .’ I kinda like a nice, sincere guy who doesn't run around. He’d gone witli so many girls, you know. And I thought I was just one on a string. So I didn't want to get involved.” But you did finally get together again with Bo? “Yeah, while I was at the Chi Chi in Palm Springs. I was performing there and he snuck in to see me — after curfew hours, WHEN will US be cured? Shirley Say when . • . Temple Bckwifh your dollars! GIVE HOPE HELP FIGHT MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS Send contributions to MS c/o Postmaster I think. And then he called me the next day. As a matter of fact, somebody had left him a message that I had called him. So he got all excited and called me, but I never called him. So, anyway, that was the beginning. “We started seeing each other day and night in Palm Springs. Then he had to leave and I had to leave. I had an en- gagement in Vancouver and he called me and sent me roses opening night. Then he had to go to Palm Springs and I drove up and met him. We were with each other all the time. Then one Sunday night he proposed.” How did he propose? “Well, he had mentioned it very briefly to me over the telephone while I was in Vancouver. He had mentioned about, like, lie wanted to get me a ring, and — and really do it up. because he really loved me. “Well. I didn’t know quite how serious he was, you know? You can never tell over the telephone. And so then I thought. ‘Well, when I see him, we’ll discuss it then.’ And then Sunday night we talked about it. and then we started talking about get- ting married. Sort of like — he said that I was the only girl that he'd ever met that he really liked and — uh — I guess he’s kind of ready to settle down!” Didn't it say in the paper that Bo said, “Mamie's my kind of woman'? “Well, yeah — that’s what he told me.” Do you think he’s your kind of man? “Absolutely ! ” Tell me what there is about him that you like. “Well, his frankness. He’s outspoken, and — he’s a lot like I am. He says what he thinks. I thought / was outspoken, but he takes the cake! Well, like when / say something and I think it’s really ’way out, lie comes up with a topper. He really breaks me up . . . with something really ’way out! I can give you an example, yeah, but it — it isn’t — it’s not too nice.” Maybe he can clean it up a little bit? “Oh. I don't know. No — not at all! He’s too much. I’ve traveled around the world, and I’ve never been too much on going out, I sort of live my life alone, I just kind of like it that way. I’m a little gypsy, and I’ve met a lot of different men in dif- ferent countries, but I’ve never really felt this way. . . . And I’m sure that lie’s gone around too. and he oughtta know by now what he wants. Besides, he’s very gener- ous, and he has a lot of sex appeal.” That's what they say but he’s not that good-looking, really. Is he? “No, but he’s got a way about him that American Institute of Practical Nursing, Room 303 120 S. State Street — Chicago 3, Illinois Please rush your FREE 10-page lesson on Nursing.

He’s very confident of himself. I call him ‘The Little Black Panther.’ He's always wearing black. He’s got black, straight hair, and he’s got those slant eyes. He’s really so cute! Black suits, black shirts and so on. . . . Yeah. He likes black. He’s got that real nice skin.” Is his mood ever black? “No. Never.” In Palm Springs, before he proposed, did yon go out a lot with him there? “Yes, we went day and night, we were out. You know, like I shot pool with him in the daytime. Yeah, that’s right. I shot pool with him! You know, over in the key club. Yeah. Don’t laugh. I was pretty good. You know, I used to shoot pool a little bit. And he’s excellent. We played rotation and eight ball. We did all of it. He played opposite a guy — the champion of Palm Springs — and he beat him. They played the game for a charity. And then I went around and collected the money for everybody to watch Bo play. And then afterward we went home. No, we went to the Riviera and had dinner, and it was, like, one o’clock. And then, like, Satur- day night we went out to a little Mexican place where they have three guys to sere- nade you. . . . They serenaded Bo and me. And then we went back to the Riviera. It was so crowded — they had a convention up there. . . . And then — ’cause he was late that Saturday morning for work — he didn’t show up till one. He was fined five hun- dred dollars for being late. “I tried to get him to stay home Satur- day night because he was gonna pitch. So, like, we watched TV for an hour and a half and he says, ‘Let’s get dressed and get out of here!’ So we went out. “I went to see his game Sunday, be- cause he pitched. And then when he got back, we had dinner, and then — he pro- posed to me. Then I got the car and came home, and he took off for San Jose.” When do you and Bo plan to get married? “I wouldn’t want to comment on that. I have no comment. He’s the man. I'm leaving it up to Mr. Belinsky to do all the talking about it.” You seemed to have been taken by sur- prise ivhen he announced that the two of you were engaged, and it sounded like you were a little peeved that he announced it. Could you explain about that? “No, I wasn’t mad. It was just a sur- prise to me that he had announced it without letting me know. But he hadn’t announced it. It just slipped out, and somebody heard it, and the papers got hold of it and all of a sudden they called me and then I confirmed it. I didn’t expect people to find out. We were going to have a nice engagement party and all that and it just slipped out. He still wants to have one, yeah. I don’t know when or where. That’s what we’re going to talk about.” What memories do you have of your courtship that are particularly pleasant to you? “Let me see — courtship. . . . Well, golly . . . In Palm Springs, we went to the Racquet Club and sat around and got tan, and had orange punch drinks, f don’t drink. Bo doesn’t drink. He does smoke, but I don’t. So. like — those things we have in common. He likes to eat a lot. And I don’t especially eat a lot! I have trouble keeping my weight on.” Are you a good cook? “Yeah, you could say, I’m pretty good.” W' hat do you cook? “Well, anything that he likes. Anything that you want to have. I can — I can whip up a good dinner.” Have you cooked for him? “No.” But you’re looking forward to it? ‘Uh — no! Well, I don't particularly like to cook. I’d rather have a maid cook. Bo likes steaks. Big red steaks. He has to eat a lot of those.” Do you have a maid now? Yeah, I live in a lovely big house above the Sunset Plaza drive overlooking Holly- wood. With just the maid and my son. It has four bedrooms.” Do you think when you get married Bo will move in with you, or will you move to another house? “I think I’ll sell this house. I want to start all over. I have too many bad mem- ories in this house. ... I had it when I married Ray.” When did you get divorced? “1960.” What was the reason your marriage to Ray broke up? “We had nothing in common.” What are the things that you and Bo have in common? “Uh — everything! Anything he likes to do, I’ll do. Just anything, like shooting pool, like taking off in the middle of the night someplace. I’m sure he would do that. I like to do things like that.” Besides Ray — Ray Anthony — weren’t you married before? To a young teenager? “Well. I was married, but my folks had it annulled, so I really don’t consider I was married. I’d rather not say the name of my first husband.” You were engaged, weren’t you, to Tony Santora for while? “I was never engaged. I just went with him. I never got serious enough to marry him. because I didn’t — really love him that much. We broke that up. . . . You know, how long can you keep going with some- one without getting married? And I just wasn’t in the marriage mood.” W hat is there about Bo that put you in a marriage mood? “Well, I mean he’s— I think he’s ready for it — otherwise he wouldn’t have brought it up. And I think the two of us know each other, and we’re more or less — suitable to each other.” How old is your son? “Seven.” W hat’s his name? “Perry.” Is he excited about the possibility of having a baseball player as a father? “Yeah, lie’s a little too young to know baseball, but he likes the idea fine.” He likes Bo a lot, eh? “Well, he’s only met him once.” What did your son say about Bo? “He didn’t say anything.” Do you have any particular hopes for your marriage, or plans that you want to mention? “No. I haven’t — nothing until I discuss this with Bo. But I am very happy.” As she said this, I realized she was look- ing up at Bo, who had come back to our table. Mamie excused herself and started for the powder room. Bo and l stared after her. This girl certainly has a variety of curves, and I was going to find out just which one she had thrown the twenty- ii.

Maybe I really knew the second time I saw her, down at Palm Springs, you know, and — it was just one of those things.” What ivas it that you liked about her? “Everything! I don't know. She’s got a good heart — ’course, her looks aren’t too bad, either! But she’s a good-hearted gal, and she’s got a real good flair for life, and I like this in people. I can’t stand dead- heads.” What do you and she have in common? “Well, I think we both have good taste. She’s started to become a baseball fan now. Pm gonna convert her. She’s gonna come out and view more of the games. She already has been. And — uh — I don’t know. We just like classy things, like to have a good time, and — uh — this is probably the most important thing, you know. What does she know about baseball so far? I don’t even care if she knows what three strikes are, you know. I like ’em that way.” You said recently, “She’s my kind of woman.” What did you mean by that? “Well, I don’t know. She’s a beautiful woman, first of all. And beauty is only there to he enjoyed. And like I said, I went for her the first time I saw her. I liked her looks, and it was just a matter of knowing what kind of gal she was. And she turned out to he a terrific gal. . . .” She told me that after the first time you went out on a date she turned you doum a couple of times because she was afraid, maybe, that she’d be just another girl on your list. What do you say? “Well, you know, a lot of women in Hollywood are like that, they think I have them labeled, more or less. But, I saw her once, that first time, and then she sort of got a little difficult. I didn't want to press anything. I felt, well, maybe I’ll see her somewhere along the line. Of course, I straightened her out on this. I think she asked around a little bit and found that I was a little sincere and she came around pretty good.” Do you think the press has the wrong idea of you — saying you want to go out a lot and everything? “Well, I’ll tell you. They dramatize and blow it up more than anybody else. I mean, I don’t think I'm any kind of sex maniac. If I’m seen with somebody, they’re going to blow it up. If I’m out till twelve or one o’clock in the morning, it's four or five o’clock in the papers. Sometimes it gets sort of hectic. But I’ve got to grin and smile. I have a theory. Whether things are going good or things are going bad, I stay the same — say the same, do the same.” How do you and Mamie’s son get along? Are you going to teach him baseball? “Well, I didn’t get to know him too well yet. I mean, well, he’s a real good- looking kid. I'm not too experienced when it comes to something like this. I’ve never even thought about it. It’s something that will have to be, you know, when the time comes. About teaching him baseball? Well, I can’t say that. Maybe he’ll want to be a violin player or something.” How do you like to spend your time with Mamie on dates? “I like to avoid big crowds. I hate big crowds and we usually try to get to- gether just by ourselves and talk about NON -SWIMMERS SWIM INSTANTLY Yes, now, you too, can swim like a fish the easy, safe way — FAST — and join the water fun.

Nothing extravagant.” If Bo is on the level, he is really a changed man! For this is the guy who once talked a taxi driver into pretending to be a minister and performing a wed- ding ceremony in a Manhattan bar. ( Later he worried, “I hope the chick realized the preacher drives a hack!’) And this is the pop-off who, before he first met Ann- Margret, bragged, ‘When she meets me, I guarantee she wont sing, ‘Bye, Bye, Be- linsky.’ ” And this is the Beau who, after Angels manager Bill Rigney complained, “I’m sick and tired of getting to hotels and finding the girls waiting for him,” coun- tered logically, “If I turned away from girls who throw themselves at me, the club would think l was a little lavender.” Do you have any idea of when you’ll be getting married?” “No, it’s indefinite. It’s almost im- possible to make any plans during the baseball season. I’ll be bouncing around and it's going to be a full-time job play- ing baseball. And when this does happen — our marriage — I’d like to have it with a free mind and really enjoy it. But we haven’t talked this over yet. I think the most sound thing is to wait until the sea- son is over. Of course, we may get a little anxious, who knows?” Do you think that Mamie will be able to go around and see you in different parts of the country when you’re playing ball? “Possibly, yes. That would be nice. Like maybe she could fly out to New York City. We could always work something out. I’ll make a little scene out there, you know. Show off my new fiancee, out there in New York City.” Did you give Mamie a ring yet? “No. I’m going to take care of this. I didn't have any time. I was in California and Arizona, you know, and in Spring training — we don’t get paid. I guess I’ll have to play a lot of pool for it. I just footed a eight-hundred dollar bill at the Riviera Hotel, so ... I just may have to break a jewelry store window.” (Bo once told Thomas Thompson of Life, “This may sound a little crude but I’m in this game for the cash. So far baseball has given me nothing but a big pain and promises. So I get this firm offer from Japan, for two years at forty-five thousand per, and l just may go. Hell, I’d just as soon endorse Haki-Saki beer as any one here. Fujiyama razor blades, too.”) For a little while, then, Mamie will have to go ringless? “A guy called up from St. Paul, Minne- sota, and he had just won a eleven-thou- sand dollar engagement ring on ‘The Price Is Right.' and he wanted to sell it to me for six thousand, you know. He told me it was a seven-point cut. brilliant diamond and all this, and I told him, ‘Well, look, let me try it out for six months first!’ He wouldn’t go for that idea.” Does the fact that Mamie’s older bother you? "No. I think I've been around enough so that three and a half years isn’t going to make that much difference.” What do you want to get out of life? “Well, Pm still searching yet. I mean, I don’t know. It happened so quickly. I mean. I’ve been moving around pretty fast and never got situated. I guess I’d like to settle down a little bit right now. There’s nothing wrong with it. I bounced around a lot for seven years playing baseball. A house of my own and a family? That would be groovy — that wouldn’t be bad. That wouldn’t be bad at all.” Mamie was back, and in a few minutes she and Bo were out on the floor twisting. It was hard to tell who was pitching and who was catching. A few days later, the newspapers proved that the “new” Bo was the same old Beau. Scheduled to make an appearance at the Los Angeles Baseball Writers’ annual awards banquet, Bo called up and said that his car had run out of gas on the free- way and that lie and his sidekick Dean Chance would be late. Bo never showed. But Bob Hope, a guest at the dinner, stepped into the breach. He told the peo- ple at the banquet, “The Angels had a little trouble finding this place, but Belin- sky gave them directions and then went back to his other sport. . . . You all know Bo Belinsky. There was a rumor going around that lie was up for sale . . . and three cocktail waitresses offered to buy him. Then there was that champagne party Bo tossed after his first pitching win of the season. He attributed his win to the fact that Mamie attended the game. So did he give her the winning baseball? No, it In the July issue of * True Story I An exciting new column by Jack Bailey of people and events straight from the an- nals of the popular ABC-TV television show ■ WATCH QUEEN-FOR-A- DAY, the Cinderella Show, Monday Through Friday on ABC-TV. See your local pa- per for time and channel 100 went to his friend, TV’s Gypsy Boots, who had escorted Mamie to the game. If she was upset because she didn’t get the prize baseball, she didn’t let on about it. At Bo’s party, she was all smiles as she and her intended toasted each other. The last word? It’s only fair that it be given to Walter Winchell, Photoplay columnist, who was present when Bo and Mamie’s romance began. Extending Bob Sylvester’s crack that “Somehow Mamie Van Belinsky doesn’t sound right,” Wal- ter said, “If Mamie Van Doren becomes Mrs. Bo Belinsky (to read their planned wedlines), some of us will be very amazed.” — Tony Anthony Continued from page 69 enough to discuss these matters with May. I had to tell her what she had to expect.” May’s reply to Sammy was just what he expected from the woman he loved. “First comes what we have, and then comes whatever artistic thing or feeling that I might have,” May told Sammy. Nothing was so dreadful as the slings and arrows flung by a rabid few at Sammy as he made his rounds of the night clubs during those trying early days. The an- nouncement of Sammy’s and May’s inten- tion to marry was made in London. Early terror “Right away,” Sammy related with grimness as he recalled the events of that day, “we became the target of the hate groups. That night we went to a restau- rant. . . May’s father, who had come in from Sweden to visit us, came along. And the Nazis came, too. “I was absolutely shocked. You know, it’s frightening to see those guys in uni- form, wearing swastikas, parading up and down with signs carrying messages like, ‘Mixed marriages are taboo’ and ‘We do not want a Negro Jew.’ They also brought a little dog and it had a sign on its back saying, ‘I’m black and I’m not a Jew.’ ” It was the same thing in the United States — and not in the Deep South — but in Washington, D. C., and in Hollywood. These were times of real terror for Sammy and May, but especially for Sammy who became the prime target for most of the racial and religious slurs that were hurled by the irresponsible hate mongers. “I had expected it,” Sammy said, “be- cause I didn’t think the haters would come over to my side. There’ll always be the haters. There were hate letters even before I was married, and they kept coming in larger numbers afterwards. But, thank God, they have stopped at last.” Actually, as Sammy explained it, there is still an occasional nasty letter. But noth- ing like it used to be. As May had indi- cated in her story, the hate letters sud- denly stopped after the baby came. With little Tracey Hillevi to show the world that the love between Sammy and May was meant to be as permanent and enduring as anything in this life can be, not only did the prejudice diminish great- ly but their life together — Sammy’s and May’s — started to change very quickly. Like May, Sammy became more relaxed, less inhibited. “The pressure was off,” Sammy ex- plained. “Now we didn’t have to face those outside problems, the ones that were apart from those which any two married people must ordinarily face. I was glad it came down to that. I never wanted a lot of peo- ple to presume they could deprive me of my right to a full life and pleasure with the woman I love — and with the baby that we had brought into this world.” He fooled them all The changes in Sammy became evident in many ways. No one would have bet a plug nickel on his chances of ever break- ing away from the raucous, feverish routine of partying and night life that seemed to be an integral part of Sammy’s life. Yet be fooled them all. Actually, Sammy had begun to slow down long before Tracey Hillevi was born. But when the baby came, you could almost bear the screeching of tires as Sammy jammed the brakes on his fast-paced past Ring out good news for the mentally ill!

Certainly he remained the best of friends with his pals, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Peter Lawford and Joey Bishop. But they were no longer the hub of his life. Now there was May — and the baby. Now there was a far greater responsi- bility on Sammy’s shoulders. Far greater than on the overwhelming majority of men who enter the happy domain of father- hood. “I knew our baby would have more prob- lems than most,” Sammy admitted with candor. “It was clear to me that our baby would have to have more love and more affection than most babies have. “It’s tough for anyone to bring up a baby in this kind of world, but with us I knew, and May knew, that it was tough- er.” They faced the challenge determinedly, hopefully, but most of all, with unbending courage. And as the days and weeks passed, whenever he and May stood over Tracey Hillevi’s crib and gazed down on their tiny offspring, Sammy felt a growing conviction that his presence in the nursery was the most important thing in the world. “The three of us together showed me,” Sammy said, “that there is nothing strong- er than the knot that ties the family to- gether. “I knew now that my place, as much as May’s, was in the home. I realized the job which lay ahead, of raising a little girl and of teaching her the proper values of life. I didn’t want our little girl to grow up wondering about her place in this world. “The way I want things to be is that when Tracey Hillevi reaches the age of un- derstanding, she’ll already have an idea of the love her mother and father have for her and for each other.” For those reasons, Sammy had to dras- tically alter the pattern of his past and assume the character and poise of a “do- mesticated” man. It wasn’t as simple as it might seem, for Sammy is not like most fathers who work from nine-to-five and re- turn home in time for dinner and an eve- ning with the family beside the hearth. As an entertainer, much of Sammy’s time must necessarily be spent away from home. Sometimes, he’s away from his Sunset Strip home for weeks. But when he returns, he spends almost every minute at home with May, with Tracey Hillevi, and now with Mark, their two-and-a-half-year-old adopted son. “My life is full and complete,” Sammy said with a glowing smile. “No man could ask for anything more. “I used to be Sammy, the big spender. No night was complete unless I showed a first-run movie at home for my friends. Even after we were married, I would sit up with May through the night to watch those films. “But we don’t do that any more. Now I’m satisfied with television. May is, too. And it’s a lot cheaper. Mind you, I’m not complaining about the money. Fortunately, I'm well off. I never have to worry where my next dollar will come from. But it’s a sign of the change — maybe it’s a new maturity. Who knows really? Does any- one?” Marriage to May Britt has forged still other changes in Sammy Davis. Play it safe ■ . . “I hold to a new sense of values,” Sam- my said. “I hold them with a determina- tion that I never knew I had before. I don’t want ever to lose what I have now. So I do everything I can to preserve these won- derful possessions. “For example, I don’t take any more chances with this new-found happiness of mine. I used to fly all the time. No more planes for me. Now I take the train. I play it safe for the family. I know they need me — and I want to be around for their sake, always. “I’ve got to be around,” he said urgent- ly, “to watch over my family. Together with May, I want to teach the children to be good, and to hope for their happiness as we hope for our own. “Our world is no longer as hostile as is used to be. It is a quieter, much more peaceful and better place. The first year of our marriage was the toughest. I’m glad that’s behind now. “If anyone could have told me back in 1960 that I would be this happy— man, I wouldn’t have believed it. “If anyone could have told me then that I would have changed as I have — man, I wouldn’t have believed that either. “But there it is. I have changed — and it’s the greatest.” — George Camber You can see Sammy Davis, Jr. in his latest, “Three Penny Opera,” Embassy.

FAST RELIEF WITH HE 0 D E S I NC. MARILYN Thank you and the writer for the beau- tiful article on the beloved, sorely missed Marilyn Monroe. Perhaps if a letter of mine — or one from anyone else who is so devastated by her bitterly needless death — had reached her, she might well have gained the strength to keep on liv- ing in a mad, often miserable world. . . . L. Rottmann Brooklyn, N.Y. BEATTY AND THE BUGS! Hedda Hopper asked in June Photo- play “What’s bugging Warren Beatty?” It’s my opinion that Warren has been try- ing to establish a reputation as a colorful, non-comformist, one who is controversial and good copy. ... Of course you can only get so much mileage out of any publicity campaign, and perhaps Warren, by signing for “Lilith” has now decided to get down to work and make films, that is, if he’s as ambitious and deter- mined as it has been said he is! D. Derry N.Y.C. ANGIE'S FAN! I have admired Angie Dickinson since I first saw her with John Wayne in “Rio Bravo.” I even sat through that ridiculous “Oceans 11” just because of her. Why don’t they put her in a good movie? Does she have a fan club? John Carmer N.Y.C. Angie has that “good” movie, John.

THE FORGOTTEN YEARS I read a while back where Jean Arthur was hiding away in a house by the sea and does not want to see anyone. Why? I always enjoyed her in films. I realize, we do not write our older stars often enough. We are all getting on and per- haps she feels we, the fans, have forgotten her and do not want to hear about her. Since the death of Marilyn Monroe it dis- turbs me to think that we do not care enough for stars of other years to ask about them. G. Snyder Grand Rapids, Michigan A FORD IN YOUR FUTURE! What’s happened to Glenn Ford? Ever since he left Eleanor Powell he seems to be returning to an adolescent period. I always thought he was one of the few stars who had stability, but. . . . He sure is making up for lost time, or is he just trying to hold on to those tender years? Helen Ackerman Chicago, Illinois TRAGEDY AND THE STARS It’s strange how tragedy seems to stalk our adored movie stars, especially the children. When you go back over the years and think about Tyrone Power’s death and the child he left behind, Hum- phrey Bogart and his small youngsters, Clark Gable and the son he never saw, Dick Powell’s young family, it only re- emphasizes the fact that tragedy neither knows nor respects material wealth and it can strike young, old, rich and poor alike. So why have envy in the world? Valerie Ewing Atlanta, Ga. PLEASE TELL US ABOUT- Ann Blyth: Ann has been busy these past few years just being Mrs. James McNulty and rais- ing a lovely family.

FIRST LADIES Continued from page 4 A WALK ON THE WILD SIDE WITH LIZ I’m not a Rabbi, priest, or a minister, but I do know enough about religion to know that anyone who has done what Eliza- beth Taylor has done, has committed a sin, no matter who says she hasn’t. All Liz is (to quote a movie she once made) is “A Cat on a Hot Tin Roof!” How any- one can truthfully say she hasn’t sinned is beyond me! I will say in her behalf, that she can be forgiven if she would re- pent for her sins on this earth, and in this world, but if she doesn't it’s nobody’s fault but her own. If you ask me, if that rabbi had any sense when he was con- firming her, he would have booted that sinner into Dante’s Inferno. A reader Bellmawr, N. J.

It must be difficult living the life of a movie-star and being forced to grow7 up at a time when most boys and girls are “acting their age.” It isn’t any wonder that Liz Taylor experienced adulthood so young when you realize that when she was barely sixteen she was playing love scenes opposite Robert Taylor.

THE NEWCOMER I’D LIKE MOST TO READ ABOUT: THE FAMOUS PERSON, NOT IN SHOW BUSINESS, I’D LIKE TO READ ABOUT: Name Age It seems to me we’ve lost Grace Kelly to Europe. Since her marriage to Prince Rainier she seems to be more and more aloof in her behavior, and her entire new look has taken on the image created by European couturiers. Even her appear- ance on television indicated a pronounced British inflection in her voice and it’s difficult to recall that this was the Grace Kelly of not-too-long ago who delighted us with her typical “American” beauty and vitality. The Prince seemed more of a regular fellow than did Her Royal Highness. Alyce Zerilli Hartford, Conn. I really think Grace Kelly is jealous of Jackie, so perhaps that explains her ap- parent desire to steal some of the spot- light bestowed upon our First Lady. She seems to imitate Jackie a great deal. Jackie first toured the White House — then Grace toured Monaco, Jackie comes to New York and visits galleries (and the world knows of her interest in art), Grace comes to New York and visits art gal- leries and expresses her cultural in- terests. Oh, yes, I’ve even heard a rumor that Grace is pregnant! R. B. Cleveland, Ohio IF YOU KNEW SUZIE! Susan Pleshette is the best thing that’s happened to “Follywood” in a long, long time! Now if they’d keep her out of those nothing films, like “Forty Pounds of Trouble” and give her meatier roles, per- haps we’d flock to the movies more often. But leave it to Hollywood to try and make another glamour girl and neglect the dra- matic potential. Why don’t these moguls wake up and do as Carlo Ponti did — he turned a sexpot into a dreamboat-of-a- dramatic star. Anita Tucillo New York, N.Y. GEORGIE PORGIE! How could such a hunk of a man like George Maharis stay single for so long?

SOON AT MOTION PICTURE THEATRES THROUGHOUT THE NATION I ^AlShk continued persons in Hollywood and New York, who knew Marilyn and her problems. He sub- mitted his sensational story as being Big News. And it was, in a way. But this reporter recognized a lot of the Marilyn Monroe Story as it appeared in Photoplay and in the Hearst (and other) newspapers for which he writes. The “big news” offered by the Foreign Correspondent was naming the “married man.” One of the most famous names in our country. Many of us on the papers and in the magazines hinted at the name often. The author of the above mentioned foreign articles merely jumped to con- clusions. which is a good way of breaking your neck. Or having a married man (with a ferocious temper) break it for you. At any rate, there is no proof that the married man was the villain in Marilyn’s life, and a good many of her friends are now convinced that the overdose was an accident. The day is not far away, incidentally, when suicide by overdose of sleeping pills will be a thing of the past. Pharmaceutical firms are reported on the verge of releas- ing a sleeping pill that becomes an emetic after a certain number of them are swal- lowed. >> Marlon Brando got his name in the papers again blasting away at The Satur- day Evening Post, Time , various movie mags and gossip columnists “like Dorothy Kilgallen.” Mr. Brando found many of us who dig up wordage for various publica- tions to be Ugly Americans and he re- peated many of his opinions on the David Susskind “Open Mouth” program for two hours. The N.Y. Times oracle. Jack Gould, reported that the first half was tiresome. The star certainly is entitled to the great American privilege (a law upheld by many Magistrates) “the right of reply.” His agony reminds this writer of the time a socially registered intimate of the Hearst Family complained about us to the late Mr. Hearst. “I wish,” she almost wept over the phone, “you would stop that horrible Walter Winchell from putting my hus- band’s name in the paper!” Replied Mr. Hearst: “Tell you what I’ll do. You stop your husband from making the news and I’ll stop Winchell from breaking it!” *T* Judy Garland’s film, “I Could Go On Singing.” had many entertaining epi- sodes, we thought.

Sidney Poitier, Lilia Skala, Stanley Adams, Dan Frazier. what’s it about? In the Southwest, a footloose ex-GI meets a small group of nuns escaped from East Germany. what’s the verpict? One of those rare surprises that makes moviegoing a special pleasure, it uses skill, grace and sharp humor to put across its theme of faith, both in God and in humanity. Sidney’s a completely beguiling hero, tough, proud, cynical and hopeful. In fact, all its peo- ple are real — not a symbol in the lot. SUMMER MAGIC Buena Vista; Technicolor; Director, James Neil- son; Producer, Walt Disney (Family) who’s in it? Hayley Mills, Burl Ives, Deborah Walley, Dorothy McGuire. what’s it about? A girl’s sly scheme lands her hard-up family in a charming Maine house, whose owner is away. what’s the verdict? Take a frankly old- fashioned story; kid it just a little; add quaint old-timey atmosphere, seven cheer- ful songs and Hayley — and how can you lose? You’re bound to find relaxing fun, whether you’re of an age to go for little Jimmy Mathers, young Peter Brown or even not-so-young, not-so-little Burl Ives.

The most persistent Allied escape artists are all collected in one Nazi prison camp. A smart move? what’s the verdict? Only history could provide so wild a yarn, a half-comic ad- venture so tense that its extra length goes unnoticed. Both good at the light touch, Garner and McQueen match their Brit- ish co-players in offhanded daring. But tragedy is always one step away; the wrangling Nazis are no paper villains. SPENCER’S MOUNTAIN Warners; Panavision, Technicolor; Producer- Director, Delmer Daves (Adult) who’s in it? Henry Fonda, James Mac- Arthur, Maureen O’Hara, Mimsy Farmer. what’s it about? A big Wyoming farm family battles poverty to get the oldest boy into college. what’s the verdict? Homespun, folksy, earthy, this saga of country courage is as accurate a picture of modern America as a Norman Rockwell painting. Fonda, lusty head of the clan, is better cast than the splendid Teton range, a locale associated more with rich ranchers and carefree dudes than with dirt farmers. CALL ME BWANA U.A.; Color; Director, Gordon Douglas; Producer, Albert R. Broccoli (Family) who’s in it? Bob Hope, Anita Ekberg, Edie Adams, Lionel Jeffries. what’s it about? Space secrets lost in the jungle lure a U.S. Africa expert (phony) and a U.S.S.R. spy (female). what’s the verdict? Don’t come in late, because the monkey business starts even before the story does. From credits to fadeout, the gags never stop. Blustering Bob and buxom Anita are a surefire team, and Lionel adds unexpected laughs as a mild missionary, actually a ferocious Russian agent.

I State. They’re not singers, dancers or actors. They’re not even romantic teenagers. (So how come they’re such big stars?) It’s not what they do. It’s what they are. No acts, no poses, no routines. Just Arthur Godfrey, Garry Moore and Art Linkletter being themselves — every week- day on CBS Radio where they are among network radio’s top favorites. A lot of people think they’re pretty special. Before the last Presidential election, a survey showed that more people recog- nized Godfrey’s picture than Nixon’s or Kennedy’s. As for the little guy with the crew cut, he’s been around for over five thousand radio and TV broadcasts (and people keep asking for Moore!). And that "House Party” over at Art Linkletter’s must be quite a party. It’s going full blast after 19 years. The real thing is a rare thing, but you find it in Godfrey, Moore and Linkletter— every weekday exclusively on the radio stations listed opposite.

Murders disguised as accidents bring a secret-service man out of retirement to find the killer. what’s the verdict? For sheer, slick entertainment, it’s hard to beat a classic English thriller, with an elegant up-to- date Sherlock (Scott) roving the eerie countryside and dockside.

Chatterjee, C. Banner- jee, A. Aparna das Gupta. S. Chatterjee. what’s it about? In today’s India, a child befriends a lonely postmaster, and a man insists on choosing his own wife. what’s the verdict? In each of the two stories that it quietly unfolds, this beau- tiful film works a double spell. It draws you deep into a far country. Then it shocks you with the familiar, recogniz- able feelings of its people, no longer strange: a homesick young man; a bride who hates to say goodbye to childhood.

On a South Sea isle, plotters try to keep a Boston girl from hearing about her father’s native wife. what’s the verdict? Veteran movie fans will feel right at home in this mild ro- mantic comedy. As feuding pals. Wayne and Marvin slug it out as cheerfully as Gable and Beery did twenty-odd years ago (or McLaglen and Lowe before that). And we’re back in Hollywood’s own idea of Polynesia, with Lamour to prove it. SANJURO Toho; Tohoscope; Director, Akira Kurosawa; Japa- nese Dialogue, English Titles (Adult) who’s in it? Toshiro Mifune, Reiko Dan, Yuzo Kayama, Tatsuya Nakadai. what’s it about? A wandering swords- man comes to the rescue of bumbling reformers trying to clean up their town. what’s the verdict? The Japanese have another go at kidding their own samurai swashbucklers, remarkably like our west- erns. While this sequel hasn’t the sur- prise value of “Yojimbo” (or the swing- ing score), it’s considerably funnier, with all of its useless assistant good guys and its fussy, helpless ladies in distress. 17 In Jajn ntage eck, tc Richard Chamberlain is plenty worried. The dialogue is so controversial in his film effort, "Twilight Of Honor," that even he blushes at some of the words. So what will some of his fans do? Send him a bar of soap, perhaps? The other TV doc, Vince Edwards, still hasn't slipped the ring on Sherry Nelson's finger. She's still waiting, though. Sherry doesn't date anyone else, and what about Casey? "He can if he wants to," says Sherry, "but if I catch him, Dr. Ben Casey will need Dr. Kildare in a hurry." Once upon a time Glenn Ford tried to set a record by wooing about every eligible beauty in town. However, Glenn is about all wooed out. The latest film cutie to become Fordless is Jill St. John. Even Old Faithful, Hope Lange, won't give Glenn a tumble. She's keeping busy with Producer Alan Pakula these days.

Pals separated them before it went further. The Mamie Van Doren-Bo Belinsky en- gagement could strike out. Why? Because Bo wasn't striking out, losing seven ball games for the Los Angeles Angels by the middle of May. So they told Bo he better pack his bags for the minor leagues. Mamie (as any reporter worth his salt knows) is strictly major league material. Is it possible that Kim Novak is planning to turn in her card to the Bachelor Girls of America? The lavendar kid is wearing a dia- mond engagement ring. The man who ringed her is Roderick Mann, a London columnist. They say it'll be a summer wedding. They may say it, but I don't bet on it. Is Troy Donahue just dreaming? Pal's say it’s over between him and Suzanne Pleshette, but Troy claims it's still on. Suz- anne refuses to say yes or no. Wait until you see Doris Day in "Move Over, Darling.” This was the last film Mar- ilyn Monroe worked on prior to her tragic death. It was titled "Something's Got to Give," but Doris refused to have anything to do with the project if the studio didn't change the title. Doris doesn't do a nude scene (like La Monroe did), but she is going to have a semi-nude scene. She'll be seen wearing fig leaves to cover up enough to get by the censors. Oh, Doris, how you've changed! Sandra Dee wants Bobby D. back. So you can look for him to head back home. Bobby still wears the wedding band Sandy placed on his finger. Bobby's pals say that if Sandy would promise to give up some bad habits, he would come home in a minute. Sandy's pals say that if Bobby would prom- ise to control his bad habits, everything would be A-Okay. Maybe there's hope yet.

Let’s talk frankly about internal cleanliness Day before yesterday, many women hes- itated to talk about the douche even to their best friends, let alone to a doctor or druggist. Today, thank goodness, women are be- ginning to discuss these things freely and openly. But — even now — many women don’t realize what is involved in treating “the delicate zone.” They don’t ask. Nobody tells them. So they use homemade solutions which may not be completely effective, or some anti- septics which may be harsh or in- flammatory. It’s time to talk frankly about internal cleanliness. Here are the facts: tissues in “the deli- cate zone” are very tender. Odors are very persistent. Your comfort and well-being demand a special preparation for the douche. Today there is such a preparation. This preparation is far more effective in antiseptic and germicidal action than old-fashioned homemade solutions. It is far safer for delicate tissues than other liquid antiseptics for the douche. It cleanses, freshens, eliminates odor, guards against chafing, relaxes and promotes confidence. This is modern woman’s way to internal cleanliness. It is the personal antiseptic for women, made specifically for “the deli- cate zone.” It is called Zonite? Complete instructions for use come in every package. In cases of persistent discharge, women are advised to see their doctors. Millions of women already consider Zonite as important a part of their groom- ing as their bath. You owe it to yourself to try Zonite. gr— - ^ 21 continued How light can a brush curler be? P mi mmf Light enough to float? Yes, ma'am.

Tip-Top Products Company, Omaha 2, Nebraska • In Canada: Newmarket, Ontario season is Efrem Zimbalist. The latest to exit from the Warners lot were Edd Byrnes and Louis Quinn. They join Roger Smith, Bob Logan and Jacqueline Beer in the un- employment line. That's some line. Another Liz (Montgomery) remains the talk of the Paramount lot where she played Dean Martin's gal in their new motion pic- ture, "Who's Been Sleeping in My Bed?" If the ex-wife of Carol Burnett's new hubby Joe Hamilton wanted to yell foul, a judge might listen. Some Mexican divorces aren't worth the price of the paper they're written on. All I hope is that business re- mains good for the newlyweds. Joe has to meet support payments for eight children. Short Hot Takes: Beverly Aadland's pride and joy, Mama Florence Aadland, spent fifty-five days in the county jail for letting Bev get out of hand once or twice. Now Mama proposes to write an expose of the county jail, naturally. . . . Speaking of mothers, George Hamilton's, Mrs. Ann Spalding, gave a party for Eve Johnson and during the merrymaking someone looted all the cars parked outside. . . . The psychic Peter Hurkos informed Terry Moore that she should treat her husband, Stuart Kramer, better. She is. . . . Natalie Wood and her press agent parted company — personally and professionally. . . . Easy come and easy go for Jack Wrather, Jr., nineteen-year-old playboy son of Jack, Sr. No sooner had the courts ended his marriage to Lana Wood (Natalie's sister) than he shelled out $1,500 for an engagement ring he slipped on Jenny Maxwell's finger. . . . Jane Fonda and Andreas Voutsinas have resumed despite papa Henry Fonda's advice. . . . Reel close shave for Frank Sinatra in "Four for Texas." His barber in the flicker is Anita Ekberg. . . . Carol Lynley and Mike Selsman con- tinue their bitter battle in the divorce courts. Mike's latest move was to obtain an order that Carol couldn't take the baby out of the state. This is no "friendly" divorce. When publicity queen Jayne Mansfield obtained her divorce from Mickey Hargi- tay, the story only made a paragraph yarn in Jayne's hometown paper. Recent reports would have you believing Nelson Sardeili has moved into her heart bag and baggage, but don't you believe it! The main reason Eddie Fisher and Sybil Burton looked each other up in New York was to check notes. When she informed Ed- die how much Dickie Boy was giving her to get out of his life, the crooner decided to cool it and not file for the divorce from Liz — at least until the market goes up. But he was kidding . . . he'll probably file in July. Oscar winner Ed Begley has women woes. His ex-spouse is boiling. Claims that Ed's new gal is wearing the ex-Mrs. B's wardrobe. Hollywood never got Brigitte Bardot, but they do have Elke Sommer. There's a 22 nude layout of Elke (she's starring with Paul Newman in "The Prize") that is really the talk of the town. Even Brigitte would blush. What rich comedian will think a long time before he tries another practical joke? He set fire to his director's chair on the set. What started out as a hot seat nearly turned the stage into a major fire, and had everyone dashing for the exits. The comic didn't laugh for long when the fire depart- ment gave him a lecture. Fabian finally returned to the dating col- umn. He discovered Gary Lockwood's flame, Joey Heatherton. The appearance of the stork should settle those rumors about the Frankie Avalons. By the way, whatever happened to the gal who threatened to sue Frankie for paternity? Looks like Ozzie and Harriet will become grandparents again. Ricky Nelson and Kris Harmon have dated the stork, according to a big bird. Even his best pals are trying to talk Steve McQueen out of racing motorcycles. They fear he may suffer the same fate as his act- a-like, James Dean. Van Johnson's estranged wife, Eve, was evicted from her house. The government sold it for back taxes owed by the Johnsons. Another Marlon Brando? Richard Bey- mer passed all his tests and is a full-fledged member of Actor's Studio. It cost him his best girlfriend, though. While Dick was busy burning the midnight oil, Sharon Tate flipped for a dashing Frenchman. The English suffered a setback in the amour department. Peter Sellers apparently used the wrong line with Stella Stevens. He wined her and dined her one evening and she has refused to speak to him since. Hollywood is doing a double take over Gary Merrill's newly found way of life. The former spouse of Bette Davis joined a church in San Francisco and is giving ser- mons on Sunday. Believe it or not. Frank Sinatra was tagged "Man of the Year" by the female press of Hollywood. Why? One member put it this way: "He's good to children and animals." Gregory Peck decided to go back into his shell when it comes to meeting the press. When the lanky actor won his Oscar he praised the fourth estate for supporting him. However, when a sob sister wrote that he was the "dullest" actor and "dullest" hus- band in Hollywood, Peck closed the door on any more interviews. Believe it or not, Connie Francis still has that big crush on Don Rickies, the comic who makes his living insulting celebrities. The George Peppards called it a day. George always had kept his wife and children in the background, claiming it was nobody's business but his own. I guess his wife thought it was her business, too. There's a rumor going around that Natalie Wood really took it hard when she finally told Warren Beatty to take a walk. And didn't she place midnight calls to her ex, Robert Wagner, to be consoled? But R.J. is now in love with Marion Donen. Puzzler of the Month: What star is be- coming hooked on pills to slow him down and pep him up?

They bid $190,000 for a Van Gogh — and got it — not for themselves, but for their famous jewel-and-art- collecting daughter — Liz! Talk of two continents is the snub Richard Burton got from the British Embassy when he and Liz Taylor appeared at the Paris premiere of “Lawrence of Arabia.” Liz didn’t win any friends when she arrived ten minutes before the intermission. She stole the spotlight during the breather, then departed shortly after the picture re- sumed. At the very proper party, given by the British Embassy after the film, she was not seated to the right of the Ambassador. That seat of honor was occupied by actor Jack Hawkins’ wife. Liz’ place was way down the table, and at Burton’s place, which was next to Liz’, the card read: “Miss Taylor’s Escort”! I’m getting a bit weary of watching Glenn Ford jump from girl to girl. It seems to me he’s frantically trying to recapture his teens. I don’t say Glenn should act his age, but at least he could act like he’s thirty. About a month before Carol Burnett and Joe Hamilton flew to Juarez to be married, stories circulated that their romance was over. Since then, many peo- ple claimed this was just a smoke screen and that they’d never intended to break up. However, I know that Carol had told Joe it was over. She felt that his wife, who has eight children born of her marriage to Joe, would never give him a divorce. It was when Joe realized Carol was serious about breaking up that he decided to press even harder to get that divorce. Undecided is the word for the Sandra Dee-Bobby Darin mar- riage situation. To date, no- body’s filed any legal action; on the other hand, neither Sandra nor Bobby seems to be making any effort (that anyone can de- tect) to patch things up. When Darin walked out of the house, it looked as if he was going to cut all ties, but he couldn’t do without his small son. Bobby ar- ranged for the boy (Sandra and Bobby named him Dodd — but call him “George!”), to fly down to Las Vegas with a nurse while he was entertaining there. So, for a while, George was a weekend commuter. Mama didn’t mind, in fact, she approved. It’s tough to predict the outcome of this split-up — mainly because Sandra and Bobby don’t even know it. DeR HeDDas Hat 24 George Peppard’s separation from his wife, Helen Davies, was as quiet as their marriage of al- most ten years had been. She was a stranger to Hollywood. George never took her to pre- mieres, openings or parties, and absolutely refused to discuss his private life with anyone. Until recently, he stayed at a Holly- wood hotel and spent weekends with his family in Chula Vista. But even when all the Peppards moved into town, Mrs. Peppard was never on the scene. Below: Bette Davis and daughter Barbara had such a great time in London at the “Whatever Happened To Baby Jane?” premiere, they didn’t want to come home. Latest epi- sode in the drawn-out bitter battle between Bette and her ex-hubby Gary Merrill had her daughter Barbara going to court to change her last name from Merrill to Sherry. Gary adopted her when she was five. Sixteen- year-old Barbara told the court she wanted the name of her father, William Grant Sherry, a one-time boxer who now paints and sculpts for a living in Maine. “I do not discuss Mr. Merrill,” said she. “I have nothing to do with him and this is by choice.” Though you’d never know it from the way they act when they’re together in public, the romance between Dick Cham- berlain and Clara Ray is more a public than a private romance. Above: Now that Kim Novak has found English writer Rod- erick Mann, there’s no telling when “Of Human Bondage” will be finished. She’s already had two directors and is working on her third. Laurence Harvey of- fered the producer a quarter of a million dollars to get out of the picture and let someone else take over, but he was turned down. Kim doesn’t seem to be too concerned about it all. Early last April, Rod Taylor admitted he’d fallen in love with New York model Mary Hilem, but added, “It’ll be a long, care- ful, untheatrical engagement.” Well, it wasn’t as long as Rod hinted. Mary came here in late April, redecorated his house, and they were married on June 1st — in a quiet ceremony. Rod’s time sense is a little peculiar, so maybe that explains it. When I asked how long he’d known Mary, he said, “Oh, for ages — six months.” Well, I guess that’s quite a while here in Hollywood. Above: Three Fondas in one photo is a rare treat. The alert cameraman caught this one when Papa Henry and his son Peter visited daughter Jane on her location (in the middle of busy Forty-Second Street) for her new film, “Sunday In New York.” I hear everything is peaches and cream between Jane and her father now that her romance with Andreas Vout- sinas is almost over.

Joan Crawford’s brother, Hal LeSueur, died in obscurity in Los Angeles. Few people knew of his death until twenty-four hours after his burial. He had been working as a motel clerk, living quietly, and refusing to discuss his relationship with Joan. The people close to him knew that he was Joan’s broth- er, but that was all. For a while Hal worked as a makeup man at MGM, but gave it up. Some- where he has a daughter, Joan Crawford LeSueur, who would be around thirty now, but no one seems to know where she is. The Edgar Bergens have a celebrity on their hands in daughter Candy. After being crowned queen at Westlake School, she was one of 300 girls from all over the country accept- ed in the freshman class at the University of Pennsylvania. That Candy can keep her grades up and keep track of all her boy friends proves how smart she is. She gave up Doris Day’s son Terry for David Niven, Jr. and Jack Ellis. But there are other fellows hanging around, too. Kathy Crosby’s house hunt- ing. They already have five homes — the most famous is the one in Palm Springs which Pres- ident Kennedy borrows occa- sionally. But now Kathy’s got her eye on one in swank Burlin- game, outside San Francisco. Among other things, it has a ballroom. The upkeep on the grounds alone runs over a thou- sand dollars a month. You don’t suppose she’s planning to go social, do you? Well, one thing for sure, our Bing isn’t. Zsa Zsa Gabor’s plenty mad and says she’ll sue for millions over the story that she’s had everything, including her face, lifted. Zsa Zsa says when she first came to Hollywood, Johnny Engstead did a photographic sitting of her, and she can prove she still has the nose she was born with — although it was broken once and she had to have it reset. Well, here we go again! It should be a lively bout! When Dinah Shore’s divorce from George Montgomery was final, everyone predicted she’d marry Maurice Smith. Dinah denied any marriage plans up to three days before the big day. Then, after the Redlands, California, ceremony, somebody asked her why. Said Dinah, “It’s a woman’s privilege to change her mind!” By the way, when Dinah was home in Tennessee, recently, Senator Estes Kefauver told her she should run for office — that was how impressed he was with the way she gladhand- ed all those Tennesseeites!

It was during Marlon’s campaign Above: I thought I’d lost all my naivete years ago, but I’m still gullible, I guess. After each zany Jayne Mansfield publicity stunt, I keep thinking it will be the last one. I can’t figure out how this girl, who has a maxi- mum of everything but talent, can keep dreaming up ways to get on the front page or, if that isn’t available, even into the real estate sections of the newspa- pers. Jayne has almost become a caricature of herself. I think when 20th dropped her contract, she panicked at this loss of secu- rity. It’s too bad because Jayne, for all her wild taste, is actually a very sweet girl. She’ll be a long time living down those nude photos in a national magazine. Marilyn Monroe could get by with posing in the altogether — on Jayne it’s just not very pretty. One thing for sure, Sybil Bur- ton’s going to have plenty of room in her new home. That New York apartment (Burton signed the lease) has fifteen rooms. Sybil refused to be pho- tographed with Eddie Fisher when the two ran into each other at a New York night club. She didn’t snub Eddie though, she extended her hand, kissed him on both cheeks, and told the cameramen to hit the road.

If Natalie Wood and Warren Beatty aren’t married by time you read this, I’ll bet my best hat they never will be. If you’ll remember, Warren was enam- ored of Joan Collins right up until the moment when Natalie and R. J. Wagner separated. In the quickest about face I’ve come across, Joan was out and Natalie was in as far as Warren’s heart was concerned. Perhaps Shirley MacLaine’s younger brother felt safe with Natalie since she obvi- ously wasn’t free to marry and seemed in no hurry to file for a divorce. Her divorce from Wag- ner is legal now, and I’m won- dering if Warren will run away. to destroy once and for all his “mumbles” image and to prove that he could talk.

She owns homes in Bel Air, Mexico City and Cuerne- vaca, and is building another in Acapulco. While she was touring the Orient, she decided to sell her place in Bel Air, California, but when she walked back in the door, she decided it was much too beautiful to part with. And to show you how lucky Merle is, a beautiful old tree outside her bedroom window was uprooted in a storm. Disaster? Not at all. “Now I’ve got a view to die over,” she said. By the way, the secret of her fabulous size eight figure is that she swims every single day of the year. Vic Damone’s a puzzle. He keeps denying he’ll marry Texas model Penny Rudd, and even bought a co-op bachelor apart- ment in Westwood. At the same time, he keeps dating Penny, and even sees her parents. I think it’s all just too chummy for a platonic friendship, don’t you? English actor Peter Sellers was a sight to see when he took his two kids (aged nine and five) on a tour of Disneyland, Marine- land and Knott’s Berry Farm. The children decided they’d like to live here. The recently- divorced Peter took out some glamour girls at night, but he says it’s nothing very serious. Ann Sothern was the saddest girl in town when she vacated her beautiful Bel Air mansion, stored all her possessions and moved into a hotel. “I feel abso- lutely unwanted,” she said. Last I heard, she was considering an offer to be the Ray Millands’ house guest. When she took the part of a blowsy dame in “Lady In A Cage,” she was out to change her image, and from what I hear she sure succeeded. No- body on the set recognized her in a dark auburn wig and dress right out of skid row. Jimmy Stewart’s wife Gloria says she was embarrassed when her house guests from Chile asked her to recommend a place where they might have dinner and see a floor show. Gloria had to admit she hadn’t the slightest idea! That will give you an inkling of what a racy life the Stewarts lead. “We took them to Chasen’s,” she said. “Some floor show!” The truth is, it’s the best show in town because all the celebrities eat there. Ginger Rogers was the belle of the ball at the party in Green- wich, Connecticut, for all those celebrities who went to New York for the fortieth anniversary of Time. You had to be on the cover before you were invited. When the music began, Gen. Mark Clark tapped Ginger on the shoulder and asked her to dance. “Wait until I tell my son I danced with Ginger Rogers,” he said. After that every man in the place had a whirl with her. She didn’t sit down all night. Tired as she was, she didn’t mind. “What it does for one’s ego is beyond belief,” she told me. Scowling Vince Edwards, is all smiles since he did big busi- ness during his Las Vegas night- club engagement. Don’t expect him to marry Sherry Nelson un- til he finishes “Ben Casey.” Also, I get the feeling he’ll have to promise to pay more attention to her than to the horses. A raccoon crashed the party Mary Pickford gave for Colleen Moore recently. The animal came calling at the back door and refused to leave until it got a handout. The guests were en- tertained for an hour by the an- tics of the raccoon. “Years ago, we used to be bothered by coy- otes and a few skunks,” said Mary, “but this is the first time we had a raccoon visit us.” I’ll never forget the time Bob Burns sent me a pig. The darn thing got loose and we looked all over before we finally found him en- joying the garbage at Pickfair. Shirley Temple celebrated her thirty-fifth birthday — and how old do you feel? — on a TV stage in Hollywood. Red Skelton or- dered a big cake topped with a doll like Shirley. “No one has paid this much attention to me since I was starring in pictures,” she said. She has no ambitions to do any more acting: “I’m lead- ing the kind of life I’ve always wanted — wife and mother. I’m just Mrs. Black to all my friends. I do get annoyed sometimes when people tell me how they used to bounce me on their knee. Charlie and I figured that if I’d been bounced on all those knees, I’d never have learned to walk.” That’s all the news for now. I’ll write more next month • rq LiJ LM^ nn “Liz won the first round! Ill win the fight!” London correspondent has said that Sybil Bur- ton laughed a hearty Welsh laugh when the battery of high-toned and oh-so-precise English lawyers explained the “master plan” to her: Richard, her husband, would give her $1,000,000. Eliz- abeth Taylor would give her an additional $500,000. She (Sybil) would leave England immediately — scat! like a cat! on the run! fast! out! She would then, in proper time, have the courtesy to give Richard a di- vorce so Liz could marry him! If Sybil laughed, how- ever, when she first heard all this — if she said, “Bloody nonsense ! Good Lord, what’s to be the next step in this comedy we’ve all been playing? ( Please turn the page) 31 Am I now to be paid off and take my two daughters and be pushed into exile?” — the laughter, the semi-amused wonderings, did not last for long. Because, the following day, Richard himself reportedly had a talk with her. Over tea. In the living room of the lovely little house in suburban-London which they had bought soon after their marriage fourteen years ago, where they had known happier hours than this. Where now Richard told his wife that Liz had said something to him which should not be considered lightly — considering the source. That Liz had said, very simply, “Marry me, Richard, or I’ll die.” Six words of stark passion, of vague threat, from the lips of a temperamental and some- times hyper-emotional woman; words which — once repeated now — transferred the living room of the lovely little house in suburban- London into a gray and tomb-like and silent place. As the Burtons sat looking at one an- other, the tea in the cups they held became colder . . . colder — though not nearly so cold as the chill that suddenly took hold of Sybil Bur- ton’s heart. She had feared this all along — this threat of threats from Liz. She remem- bered now Rome, '62, a similar threat, how Richard had ignored it then — how Liz had suddenly been rushed to the hospital — how Liz’ press agent had talked the next day about “bad chili” while someone else had talked about “bad oysters” — while the majority of Rome newspapers had hinted strongly at sleeping pills and stomach pumps. Sybil remembered. And she knew now that this was the moment when — for her con- science’ sake, as well as for Richard’s — she would have to give in to the “master plan,” to leave her husband. Just as she realized that, by so deciding, she had somehow come up with a plan of her own — a plan to ruin the woman who had caused her so much heartbreak and humiliation. A simple plan, really. A fool- continued proof and ironic plan. One which would re- quire only time. And which, when the time came, would hit — with sledgehammer force — the very same Liz Taylor who recently had told a reporter, sweetly : “It’s very hard to ad- mit you’ve done wrong. If mistakes hurt other people, in the long run you will have to pay for them. . . .” That’s what she’d said. It had not been in Sybil Burton’s nature to plan things — vengeful or otherwise — before Rome, and “Cleopatra” and the Liz-Richard mess began. She’d been, up to that time, a free spirit who’d taken life as it had come; who'd enjoyed its ups, shrugged off its downs and who’d always, as the Welsh say, “looked for- ward to a prettier morning.” Certainly, for the first twelve-or-so years of their marriage, no woman could have been more tolerant of her husband’s wanderings — his affairs with other women. Certainly, no woman could have put up so easily with this fine young actor who also happened to be the possessor of an unkempt' soul. And a devil of a temper; this faithless and often-exasperat- ing and demanding and hard-drinking bloke whom many a friend of Sybil’s — and even of Richard’s — maintained she could well do with- out. But Sybil, it so happened, loved the bloke, loved him desperately. And for an even oc- casional return of this love, she would do any- thing for him. Anything. Like forgive him. And console him. And mother him. This was her greatest mistake, some say. To Sybil, Richard was a little boy at heart — gay and fun-loving and candid and basically good, so good. She knew that Richard’s own mother had died when he was barely two years old. She felt that often he needed, even at this later age, a woman who would make up for his loss, who would baby him from time to time. So she became that woman. Like many a mother, she became very permissive with him. Her unique attitude ( Continued on page 94) 32 “Proportioned what?” Proportioned Kotex napkins. Now Kotex comes in 4 proportioned sizes.

What we did know (through the courtesy of a press release) was that she was eighteen-years-old, brown-haired and brown-eyed. She was born in Los Angeles, California, and her favorite foods were steak and potatoes, her favorite sport water skiing. The release also said she’d appeared on many TV shows (under her real name Carol Sydes) — and that she was chosen for the coveted role in "Gidget Goes To Rome” while appearing on "The Loretta Young Show.” At the end of the release were some facts that were quite upsetting.

Kennedy — was a guy who should have had his head examined. Here was a guy, they’d have said, who could have sat out World War II in some comfortable and safe Stateside berth — maybe running a nice Wave barracks, even.

And yet — the goof — here he was, stationed in Tul- agi Harbor, in the dead center of this watery Jap- infested hell-hole of a South Pacific . . . and at his own request . . . and in the PT boat service! And when they asked young Lt. Kennedy why he’d negotiated this kind of a deal, he’d answer: ‘‘If I were a poor, illiterate, barefoot dirt farmer without health, family or friends ... I wouldn’t need a reason for being out here. However, I’m not all of those things. So for damned sure I don’t have to think up a reason for being here. Simple?” And many a head would be shaken, many a shrug shrugged as the strange-thinking and dauntless young lieutenant would goon determinedly with what- ever task he’d been given to do. . . . It is a well documented fact that Jack Kennedy didn’t even gulp — much — the morning he and his subordinate officer, Ensign Leonard Thom, caught their first sight of the tiny and fragile PT boat they'd just been assigned to take over — the 109. Kennedy looked the 109 over. He examined the score of nicks and splinters in her hull, caused by friend and foe alike. He examined her decks — littered with abandoned gear, torn mattresses, old comic books, a couple of very lively and at-home- looking land crabs. He made note of the fact that the boat needed a new coat of paint — not to mention new guns and a new set of engines. And where another man might have sighed woe- fully and run to the sick bay announcing that he’d just come down with a bad case of double pneumonia and needed at least three months in the sack — Jack Kennedy, instead, patted the deck railing of the 109, affectionately, as if she were a neglected waif. ‘‘We’ll get you fixed up! Don’t you worry!” His confidence, however, was not immediately shared by several of the men who were assigned to his crew. Not shared at all, in fact. Take, for instance, two of the sailors — motor machinists Leon Drawdy and Ed Drewitch — who took one look at the 109, frowned and had themselves a pow-wow. It went like this: “What’s the name of the joker in charge of this wreck?" Drawdy wanted to know. "A j.g. named Kennedy," said Drewitch. “Looks like all he ever did was to go to school. No sea duty. Not that one. But they say he wrote a book.” iAHTWBL. “Then why didn’t they put him in charge of a lib- rary,” Drawdy wondered. “Just serving under a guy like this, we rate the Purple Heart.” The men’s confidence was further shaken when it came time for Kennedy to choose one of the lot for galley-duty. “Ever do any cooking?” they heard him ask sea- man Edgar Mauer, later that day. “Yes, sir,” they heard Mauer answer. “I used to fix up things for my kid brother. Peanut butter sandwiches mostly.” “Nothing else?” they heard Kennedy ask. “Well — ” they heard Mauer answer, "sometimes I fixed peanut butter and jelly.” And then — and you wouldn’t have believed it if you hadn’t been there — they heard Kennedy say, “Good. You’re the new cook!” The men worried about that one all night. But the crew’s fears about their new skipper were actually very short-lived. Because if there's anything enlisted men respect — and don’t get to see much of — is an officer who rolls up his sleeves and does the dirty work along with them. And this young Lt. Kennedy did. So much so that sometimes he’d be so covered with grease and grime and paint and sweat it was hard to tell him apart from any ordinary swabby. And by the time the 109 had been com- pletely refurbished and was ready for top-brass in- spection, the men of the crew — all ten of them — had grown as fond of their skipper as he had grown fond and proud of them. . . . For the next few weeks the 109 engaged in what, judging by future events, could well be called un- eventful assignments. There were speed runs. There were briefings aboard; lots of talk, little action. In fact the only real action the men of the 109 saw during those weeks was a rescue mission, involving a Marine parachute battalion trapped by the Japs on a small island to the north. Along with other PTs and a fleet of LOPR’s, the 109 succeeded in rescuing most of the Marines. But not before a Jap mortar shell exploded a few yards from the small boat wounding three of the crew — Drawdy, Drewitch and gunner’s mate Maurice Kowal. They were soon replaced by four sailors named Gerard Zinser, Bill Johnston, Ray Starkey and Patrick “Pappy” McMahon. On their arrival aboard, the four new men were stunned to see Seaman Mauer stand- ing at the stern tossing grenades into the water with one hand, holding a long scoop in the other. “What’s he doing?” asked one of the new men. “Oh,” he was told, casually by the old hands of the boat, “that’s just the cook — fishing.” So the four new arrivals looked at one another and shrugged. And if you’d have told them at that mo- ment that this particular boat they’d just been as- signed to would go down in (Continued on page 85) ... unforgettable eyes!

The other breed consists of actresses who have to "see” for them- selves. They want to devour every aspect of life to add new dimensions to their talent. Shirley MacLaine is this kind of actress. Here, in her own words, is one of the most exciting stories we have ever printed in Photoplay . . . Earlier this year, I went to Paris to do a lot of research on French streetwalkers. In Les Halles (a section of Paris), I studied them, talked to them and even lived with them for four nights in a small hotel. I did it because I had to know how they think. Sure, I know what their job en- tails, but there were many things I didn’t know — like how much money they get. But most of all, I wanted to ask them this question: "How do nice girls like you get into a racket like this in the first place?” Well, I asked them and the question was a bit too cerebral for them — in fact, most ques- tions were a bit too cerebral for them. They’d just look at me and say, “Oh, it's a good job” or "Oh, it pays good money” or "Oh, we get a lot of sleep!” and things like that. But being there and actually seeing it — that’s what I had to do. Even though I’d read books about streetwalkers, read- ing wasn’t enough. I wasn't going to be satisfied until I actually saw them in action. Why did I want to do this? Well, it’s not because I’m just some kind of a nut! I did it because I was going to play a French streetwalker in “Irma La Douce.” And I felt I (Continued on page 64) 62 Shirley and her husband Steve Parker (that's Jack Lemrnon on the right) are great travel- ers. They both feel that see- ing new places and faces is the best education their daugh- ter Sachi (left) can have. It was while Shirley was in Paris that she lived with the group of streetwalkers she talks about in this exclusive story. 33 SHIRLEY MacLAINE continued could not play the part unless I lived with them. I would have felt like an idiot just standing on the street with a slit up my skirt and twirling a handbag, and asking the first man who walked down the street if he’s got any time. Because that’s exactly what happens in the picture. And now that I’ve actually seen them, I know they stand three or four feet apart, and each woman has her own little piece of side- walk. I know that the man who keeps her is her protector, and he gets all the money she makes and keeps her in clothes, food and a place to live. It’s an interesting lit- tle jungle down there. I’ll tell you that. And Mr. Dunn and Mr. Wilder’s script for “Irma” is very true to life. The way it happens in the movie is exactly the way it is in real life. I know that now! I found that every one of the girls had fallen in love with a guy who was in that business already. And, after maybe a year or so, the man would suggest to her that they need a little more money to live on and so forth, and he suggests this type of business. He has. her meet some other woman who is in it, or an older woman with experience; then he sets her up in the business, and she’s on her way. And because she’s so much in love with this man she’ll do almost anything to hold him. That’s really the basic reason why these girls became streetwalkers. It also involves areas that have nothing to do with sex. It’s how they grew up as children, and the fact that they were lost, and most of them have IQs of about twelve. These girls have a very strange moral code. All of the girls wear crosses around their necks — they’re very strict in some areas. Religion is one. And brother, when they get married, they get married, and that’s all there is to it. This business of a prostitute being the best wife in the world — there’s a great deal of truth in it. Matrimony to them is holy; absolutely. My marriage Now, where this particular marriage of mine is concerned — I think being to- gether with someone you love is the most important thing in the world. But I think everything has to be tempered and done with moderation; there’s a great deal of truth in that. My husband Steve’s business keeps him in the Orient, and I’m there with him about seventy-five per cent of the year. Two weeks of the time we’ll be apart, and for a month at a time we’ll be to- gether, then we’ll be apart for three weeks and so on. When we’re apart it is for a reason; either I’m working or he has to go somewhere. This apartness isn’t something we planned, it’s something that just evolved. I know we’ve been the subject of a great deal of gossip and conversation and so forth. But I think it’s obvious that our mar- riage has succeeded very well. I see too many marriages around me where the people are together so darned much that they couldn’t care less about one another — really — and boredom sets in, all the enthusiasm disappears, and they can’t look at their partner in any kind of rosy light. It’s more like a ball-and- Now 20% more absorbent Most considerate. Most protective. Modess... chain — something done out of necessity. I don’t know, it’s as if marriage guarantees that each one owns the other. Well, what is that? I think that will disintegrate two people quicker than anything. This business of being together all the time, every day, every night — my good- ness, how can you look at the two of you objectively if you don’t compare it to something on the outside? And brother. I’ve had a long time to look around; and I wouldn’t change twenty minutes with Steve for a lifetime with anybody else. I think outside influences have as much to do with an adult’s progression as with a child’s progression. And I certainly don’t want to limit our daughter, Sachiko (Sachi for short), to the confines of her mother and father. I also think it’s very important for a child and each individual member of a family to have his own individuality protected all the time. And that’s when the whole unit can be successful. If each person consistently blends into the other to such an extent that they don’t have any privacy, they also don’t have any feel- ing of individuality. When this happens, the whole family suffers. I’m on a picture usually eight or ten weeks, and when I come here to the States I kind of feel I’m on location; sometimes, once or twice during the picture. I’ll fly j home to Steve and Sachi — have a Mon- day off, or something. The rest of the time I’m always with her, usually in Japan. But last summer the three of us drove all over Europe. I went to Russia first and Steve and Sachi came from Tokyo, be- cause Sachi goes to school in Tokyo. And we picked up a car and drove through Switzerland, Germany, France and Italy. We had a wonderful time. After two days in every country we went to. Sachi was speaking the language. She has been going to school in a foreign country since she was about two years old, so her ear is attuned to the foreign sound. I think mat’s what it is. She has a very accurate ear ioi lan- guages, anyway. And she’s just used to speaking something other than what she grew up with. She speaks fluent Japanese, Siamese, Cantonese, Chinese, Burmese — — oh yes — and a little English. Home is where we are Travel is one of the best educations a child can have. Of course, when she trav- els, either I’m with her or Steve is with her. And we have a house in Tokyo and one here in Hollywood, and a little place in Hong Kong. So I don't know what you would call home, except wherever we hap- pen to be. In Tokyo, Sachi goes to the Nitchi- Natchi School — which is run by Ambas- sador Reichauer’s sister. It’s an inter- national school — its students come from all over the world. They are taught in about four languages — a different language every day. Sachi can read and write in every one of these languages. She’s learning to ride, too. She’s swimming, skiing, ice skating and carrying on. She doesn’t really miss California or anything when she’s away from it. Whenever she goes anywhere, she goes to something, not away from some- thing ; and she looks with great enthusiasm and interest at what she’s going to see i next. Steve traveled a lot when he was a child — he grew up traveling — so I sup- pose it rubs off on me and on Sachi. But he always had a great affinity for the Far East, particularly Japan. He read and wrote Japanese before the war, and served there during the war. He was one of the first troops into Hiroshima. That’s how, as a matter of fact, Sachi got her name. There was a little girl in that destroyed city who had no father, no mother, no sisters or brothers. She didn’t even know her name, but Steve called her Sachiko, because she was always smiling. And he put through adoption papers to bring her back to the States. And just before they were finalized, she died of radiation sickness. And he al- ways said that if he ever had a little girl, he’d like to call her Sachiko. East vs. West As far as the Far East is concerned the most exciting thing is that after hundreds of years, it’s come out of its cocoon. It’s now beginning to feel its oats. The success of modernization in Japan has started the ball rolling. I’ll go back to Japan after having been away for three months and the changes are amazing. I love living there, I love being a part of something that’s vital and growing. And yet, in spite of this constant change, the Japanese seem to have found the answer to being at peace with one- self. Maybe it’s because they’re so crowded — ninety-nine million people living in a country half the size of California, and one-half of the land is uninhabitable be- cause of the mountains. And maybe this kind of forced, cramped condition has made them develop some kind of attitude so that they don’t fight. And they don’t! They don’t even argue with one another. This business of famous Oriental polite- ness has come from necessity, aside from being something pleasurable. At least, that’s what I think. I think we have a lot to learn from them. They won’t, for in- stance, let tempers flare. We don’t like it because we can never tell where we stand with one another unless tempers do flare. I rather like the business of getting along; but I also like to have my feelings felt, and I like to know where I stand, too. So I just sort of blend into the two environments. There are many things that happen in life — things that change from one day to the next. That’s half of being alive — each- day something new — so you adjust your ideas and your opinions and outlooks. You can’t say you’ve figured life out and that you’re going to stick to your plan the rest of your life. You have to keep altering with the times, with experiences, with condi- tions. And that’s what I try my best to do. But when I know that I love somebody, that remains constant. How -I love them, the way I adjust my love — that’s what’s flexible — not the love. You have to do this or you’ll get lost in the shuffle. as told to Fred Robbins Shirley stars in “Irma La Douce,” UA. Continued from page 47 Right now, I’m happy most of the day. I’m working long hours day after day, on ‘Take Her She’s Mine.’ In between scenes, we play a game called ‘Essence.’ I play with Kay (Kay Reed, her hair stylist), I play with Mark (Mark Reedall, her make-up man) . Everyone joins in the game and that keeps you busy. And it’s a cute picture, and a hectic one, fast-paced, funny. I’ve had to learn the guitar, learn to accom- pany myself for the three folk songs I sing — Bobby’s racket. But I have to go home at the end of the day. I’m not happy the minute I’m quiet. I’d like to have quiet happiness again.” This wistfully . . . she’s had no quiet happiness since Bobby left, to make night club appearances from which he never re- turned. It was one month later before Sandra announced their separation. Still in shock “We’d been separated for a whole month before that announcement. I was in shock. I couldn’t make any announcement. I’m still sort of in shock. A little disillusioned with life, this isn’t by choice. . . . You know the only boy I’ve ever cared for is Bobby. I never really dated until Bobby. All the teenage layouts in magazines were publicity stuff. According to the press re- ports, I was the biggest run-around that ever hit this town — and I never had a date. Weird, isn’t it?” The old Sandy would have grinned and made a pixie face. Today’s Sandy articu- lates the words as if she doesn’t know what they mean. “Bobby was my first real date. He gave me my first real kiss off screen. It’s fantastic. He wouldn’t believe it at first — about being my first date. He did after that kiss. And I’d hated him so at first, when we first started shooting ‘Come September.’ But when you react so violent- ly to a person there has to be a reason. It was strange to discover that it was love. “It’s hard for someone who went from nothing to marriage. I’d had no life but work, really, and I’ve never been able to adjust to Bobby’s life. I can’t. I’m natu- rally slow-paced and he’s a whirlwind. A brilliant man, everything he does ... he devises most of his own material. He can make pictures, appear in night clubs, travel all over, do everything a mile a minute. I can’t. You should see me now crawling home at the end of the day. I’m so tired I can scarcely bend over to pick up Dodd. “This little boy, he’s somethipg else again.” For a moment I thought she was going to smile. She didn’t. She just reached and picked up a cigarette. “He’s wonderful. Sixteen months old, he talks — ‘I want,’ ‘Mamma,’ ‘Daddy,’ ‘door,’ that sort of thing. Of course no one understands him except Bobby, the nurse and me. We had a myna bird we were keeping for a friend and the baby started mimicking him.” She can’t stop talking about the baby — her one link with Bobby. “Dodd’s a good little boy and very funny. I saw him the other day sitting in the projection room with a cigarette. Just like Bobby, only it wasn’t lit and he had the wrong end in his mouth, I didn’t want to tell him. “He used to look exactly like Bobby, but he’s changing. He has Bobby’s eyes and my nose and mouth, my color hair, blond, very thick and curly. I wish I could give you a picture of him for the magazine but that’s something my husband has always been adamant about. No pictures of the baby. I never agreed with Bobby on that and I don’t really know why he felt that way, but it’s something I can’t break away from just yet. I’m not sure, even though I used to argue with my husband about it. I’m not sure yet. “Bobby loves this little kid the same as I do. He’s crazy about him, and the baby’s crazy about Bobby. He loves men, I think all babies do, because men have a different attitude. They don’t jump at each thing like a woman does, they don’t keep wiping his face and smoothing his hair. If he gets dirty, so he gets dirty. He loves to watch Bobby shave. As a matter of fact, Dodd just came back from the Flamingo where he stayed with his daddy from Tuesday to Friday.” The baby has traveled from the time he was born. For a while it looked as if he’d be born in Texas where Sandy was on lo- cation with Bobby for “State Fair,” but they made it home in time. Three weeks after Dodd was born, he took his first ex- cursion— to Las Vegas. Since then, he’s been to New York, Buffalo, Chicago, Bos- ton and back to New York and back to Las Vegas, time after time. This was a little family that was always going to be to- gether. Nothing was going to separate them. Not for a minute. Even when Dodd began to walk and it wasn’t so easy to keep him quiet on a plane or in a hotel room. But now Sandy is working at Fox, Bobby is playing Las Vegas, the baby goes visiting, and Sandy has eyes like two great dark holes in her face. Once in New York, she was all alone with Dodd and he had a temperature of 105°, a virus, the New York doctor said. Bobby had gone to Boston for the night, the nurse had a virus downstairs, Kay, Sandy’s hairdresser, had a virus upstairs and there was Sandy alone with eleven- riionth-old Dodd and he was burning up. She panicked. She phoned her Aunt Ollie in Jersey — she and her aunt have always been very close, Sandy’s always been crazy about Ollie’s boy Serge, and now Aunt Ollie has a baby girl and she left both with colds to come help Sandy. "Smarter than 1 am . . ■” Three days and three nights of this fever in a room with a little oven to heat the place so the baby’d perspire . . . but then it was over and he has never been ill since. He’s a husky fellow, weighs twenty- seven pounds, is thirty-seven inches tall and has always been a great eater until lately, when suddeidy he’s lost interest in his food and is wild for the dog’s food. “He’s too much,” Sandy says. “He’s go- ing to be smarter than I am by the time he’s three. I never knew a child could be such fun. He won’t use a fork to pick up his meat. No, sir. Not ever. He’ll pick up the meat and put it on the fork. He throws his food on the floor and yet he’s so neat in other ways. He sees things, picks them up, puts them in the ashtrays . . . goes around stamping butts out. I’ve gotten a great charge taking care of him. It seems too bad now, to leave home so early he’s still asleep and not see him all day. But I want to work like mad right now. Work, work, work. It keeps your mind on something constructive. I leave home at five in the morning, get home at six thirty, and that’s all. It’s a godsend the work. At first I thought, how could I ever make this pic- ture? But here I am.” Sandra Dee. The Cinderella girl. I stayed at the studio for her birthday party late that afternoon. They’d been shooting the sequence where Sandy, in a bikini, is painting in front of the house. Late in the afternoon, a cake was wheeled in, bou- quets of flowers and photographers swarmed onto the set. “Happy birthday, Sandy. What does it mean to be twenty- one?” someone yelled. “It means after nine years of work, al- most three years of marriage and a sixteen- month-old son, I can finally vote, order a glass of wine in a restaurant and show my navel.” She was alluding not only to the bikini but to several other abbreviated cos- tumes for the picture including the mag- nificent Cleopatra dress made of twenty- four-carat gold cloth, the top a sort of half bra. “What’s your next picture, Sandra?” called someone else. “ ‘The Richest Girl in the World’ — and I will be, literally. Ross Hunter is letting me keep all the Jean Louis clothes and it’s killing me.” She’s very flip. She poses for pictures, puts on a good show for the cameras. But later, back in her dressing room, she has a headache, takes a couple of aspirins and admits she’s feeling a little sorry for her- self. “It’s weird,” she says. “I’m happy and unhappy. Disappointed a little.” She keeps scanning the nine great bouquets of flow- ers. One has a tag with no name. Maybe the flowers are from him, maybe not. She phones home. The baby is fine, the nurse is fine. Bessie Binger. “She’s one of the things I’m happy about. I’m closer to her than to anyone right now. Closer even than to my mother. My mother I can’t involve in this business about Bobby and me. As a matter of fact, this is something I have to do alone.” And it’s the first time she’s had to do anything alone. In her childhood, there was her father, then her devoted mother, Mary Douvan, then Ross Hunter, who dis- covered her and has become her closest friend, then Bobby. Through the years there’s always been someone looking out for Sandra. I remember our first meeting. It was at MGM. the day after her fifteenth birthday. There’d been a party on the set and “Baby” wore her hair in pigtails. “Baby.” Everyone called her “Baby.” Director Bob Weiss had given her a bicycle to ride around the lot and her mother had given her a little champagne-colored fur stole. She told me then how hard it was to wait. she felt half kid and half grown up and she’d never had a date and if- a boy even talked to her she felt flustered and fussed. She could hardly wait to be sixteen . . . drive a car ... go out without her mother . . . get rid of the teacher-welfare worker to whom she’d been glued from the mo- ment she arrived in Hollywood. She was frantic to be married. And twelve months later was telling me, “So I’m almost seven- teen and I do drive my T-bird and love it. But now that I don’t have to go anywhere with my mother, I go everywhere with my mother. Now that I’m about to graduate. I’m brokenhearted at parting with Gladys Hoene, the teacher who taught me to like teachers. Romance is still ahead. Dating is still ahead. I still dream of getting married but the fact is that having arrived in Holly- wood— sophisticated, but the most — I now feel like a kid just beginning to grow up.” “I didn’t know how lucky I was” I remind today’s Sandy of this and she remembers very well. “I didn’t know how lucky I was, having the teacher and work- ing such short hours,” she sighs. “I couldn’t work more than eight hours and three of those were school and one lunch. Isn’t it funny how the appeal is lost, once no becomes yes. The best cigarette I ever smoked was in the bathroom with the win- dow open. It’s never been as much fun since.” “So now you’re twenty-one.” “Yes, and I’m not very happy. I’m hap- py with life and yet a little disappointed, a little disillusioned, I’ve never been that way before. I’ve changed. This is the first time I’ve been conscious of change. Here I am. I’ve had so many hopes and they have mostly come true. Now some of my hopes are being broken. I suddenly realize I’m a mother, I have a great kid, I also have a personal problem — and for the first time in my life. I’m facing it alone. This is the first time I haven’t had anyone to lean on. I’ve been carrying the ball.” It hasn’t been easy. For several weeks, Sandy stayed at home, took care of the baby and said nothing. She took the baby, went to Palm Springs, came back. Then she took him, and the nurse and Kay Reed and Universal-International publicist Betty Mitchell and went to Hawaii. It was hot and lovely and Sandy and the baby spent all their time on the beach. Then she came home and made a statement that she and Bobby had separated. “And then I lived through two weeks of hell. It began the next morning with news- reel photographers on the front lawn. Dodd couldn’t even go out to play! I hadn’t expected anything like this. I hadn’t really made any announcement. There has been no talk of divorce. This is really just a pause in which we decide what to do. 1 didn’t expect it to hit the front pages. In London, it was on the front page! “But I’m learning. I guess what I’ve learned primarily is patience. I was num- ber one on the list of wanting everything to happen yesterday. I’ll probably never be patient again if I survive this. And I guess I’ll survive. You hear of friends going through unhappiness like this and you think, ‘My God, I’d die.’ Well, you don’t die. You’d like to but you don’t. You are tougher than you think. You just live very quietly one day and another. That’s what I’m doing. There’s no incentive to go out at night. I used to go out because it pleased my husband. Now to please my- self, I go to bed. Period.” “And nothing is black. You keep think- ing this is the worst thing in the world un- til something else happens that makes the first catastrophe light by comparison. I thought things were at their worst when my grandfather died some months ago. “But I’m beginning to understand. No matter how much you love someone. . . . And Bobby’s the best husband, so protec- tive. He acted all the time as if he were afraid I’d break.” I remember when they went to Dallas for “State Fair.” They went to Neiman Marcus to shop, and crowds mobbed them. Sandy was about to have the baby any minute and Bobby was terrified. He got the manager to keep the store open one night just for them and they bought all the baby things. “Bobby is able to do anything, move mountains. And isn’t it strange the reason I disliked him so in the beginning was that he was so forward and I was so backward. And after a while I loved that. Domineer- ing is just how he is, he can’t help it and / like it. Being married to a man who’s so positive has its advantages. I never wanted to wear the pants. I never wanted to make decisions. I haven’t. Bobby’s made them. And he never pushed me too far. He knew when to push. With the baby he’s very definite. Careerwise Bobby’s definite, too, of course. “And you know what my father once told me. ‘Never push life, just let it hap- pen’— well, that’s how I’m living today. I can’t remember what I did yesterday. It doesn’t matter what I did. There’s nothing to do but wait and hope for happiness. I want to be happy. Someday that means having someone with me, being close to someone, having more children. Right now it just means patience. “And Hollywood has nothing to do with it. If you make a success of anything, you have more demands on you, you have more money, you just naturally change. I don’t say I haven’t changed since I was fifteen, I say if I had stayed in modeling I’d have changed. Everyone changes. When you are a success you have more enemies and more friends, more of everything. I have few friends my age because I didn’t go to school and there are so few people my age with whom to have anything in common. They’re either married and absorbed in that or not married and scattered all over.” Someone brought in some coffee and Sandra drank hers. She hadn’t touched the birthday cake. She couldn’t. I thought of the fifteen-year-old “Baby” surrounded by loving care and it occurred to me how lonely this girl must be now. Ross Hunter for years has stood by as mentor. He lives right next door to the Darins. He never knew one thing about Sandy and Bobby until he read it in the paper. Sandy was at a party at his house on Thursday, Ross left the next day for London, the following day he read the story in the paper. “It’s as it must be,” Sandy says. “I’ve been carrying the ball alone. I have to. There’s no one to lean on. Any relative or friend of mine couldn’t be unbiased and this has to be unbiased. This is a different situation. There’s too much at stake. There are three lives. . . .” She couldn’t say any more. Tears were too close. Twenty-one years old — she has everything and nothing . . . and you don’t die, you can’t die, you just wait. — Jane Ahdmore Sandy’s in U-I’s “Tammy and the Doc- tor,” and 20th’s “Take Her, She’s Mine.” put glamour into your lunch box This delicious and moist chocolate cream cake — star-tested by Ann-Margret — is the surest way we know to a man’s heart! “I’m no great chef,” says the star of “Bye, Bye Birdie,” “yet even I can bake this cake.” CHOCOLATE CREAM CAKE Sift together : IV2 cups sifted flour V2 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon baking soda Work with a spoon until soft : V2 cup shortening Gradually add, while beating : VA cups sugar Add, one at a time : 2 eggs Beat well after each addition.

A few of them (on nationally circulated publications) were pretty rough in their personal comment: About Judy’s appearance, whether she took off enough weight, etc. Miss Garland seemed slimmer to these eyes. Her legs looked like the shafts many of us flipped over (when she first crashed the heights) and we went to the theater not to see if she was thinner or plumper but to be entertained by the star — which we were. The theme of the film at times paralleled Judy’s career. We wondered how she felt when she “played” scenes that she actually agonized through in real life. ❖ One of our favorite actresses is Mer- cedes McCambridge. She once won an Oscar. Things didn’t break too good for her in Hollywood and the newspapers not long ago recorded that she recovered from an alleged overdose of sleeping pills. For which many of her admirers gave thanks. Some of her closest friends believe that the one great influence in her life is Adlai Stevenson. If true, that explains why she devoted so much time and energy to his ill-fated campaigns to become President. And she never deserted him in defeat. Nor he her. Richard Burton appeared in the Broad- way play, “Time Remembered,” in 1954. He was invited to The Page One Awards that were being held at the Hotel Astor. Burton was informed that he would be seated at the same table with Liz Taylor and the late Mike Todd. The legend goes that Burton politely declined in favor of having a snack with Helen Hayes and Susan Strasberg who were in the play with him. As he left them he remarked : “Miss Taylor and her husband don’t mean any- thing to me. I’m going home. I want to be with my wife and child.” How Tempus Do Fugit. ❖ Girls! Have you beautiful legs. Do you seek a stage career? You don’t??? Wellllll, no matter. If you know any girls who do — tell them that Richard Halli- day, the producer, is looking for six long- stemmed beauties for his upcoming musical “Jennie.” The star will be his wife, Mary Martin. There have not been any “Ziegfeld Follies” type beauties backing up Miss Martin since she’s been a star. One of the p scenes in “Jennie” (in which the gorgeous gals will appear) is set in a harem. “Jen- nie” opens on Broadway in October. 72 Carol Channing’s argument-starter: “It is not true that blondes are sexier than brunettes. A woman’s sex appeal is based on the man she’s conversing with at the moment. The sexier the man, the sexier the woman.” Street Scene: Three in a taxi waiting for the traffic lamps to switch to “Go” be- tween 49th and 50th Streets on Broadway. This is the location of the Rivoli Theater where the immense sign shouts that “Cleopatra” stars Elizabeth Taylor. The trio in the cab stared at it for a moment and then straight ahead. Their names: Mr. and Mrs. Rex Harri- son and Mrs. Richard Burton. How about a happier item? One that tickles the heart? Marisa Pavan arrived in New York from Europe for what was to be a brief visit with her estranged mate, Jean Pierre Aumont, leading man of “Tovarich.” Aumont met Marisa at the airport and whisked her to an apartment in the Hotel Navarro on Central Park South, where he had arranged for flowers, soft lights, wine and a sumptuous dinner for two. As we were going to press. Marisa was still there with their two children, ages seven and three. The tehit-tchat around Shubert Alley is that they reconciled and that it looks like it will stick. In fact. Aumont is in such a hurry to get home to Marisa each night (after the show) that he doesn’t pause to remove his makeup. Add New Yorkers I enjoy jotting down items about : Socialite Maurice Dricer, who carries a solid gold ball on his watch chain. For testing the consistency of his caviar, if you please. If you happen to be strolling along swanky Park Avenue and you encounter a gentleman impeccably groomed and wear- ing a large button reading: “Mafia,” he very likely is Curt Swift, a millionaire with a sensayuma. And New York's most talked-about new playwright, Edward Albee, strolling along 57th Street, wearing trousers too high over his ankles. Dean Martin, co-star of “Toys in the Attic,” spends a good deal of time answer- ing questions about his pal, Francis Sin- atra. We overheard a starlet ask Dean if it was a fact that Sinatra “has so many girls.” To which Deano dead-panned: “Honey, all I know is that the YWCA takes from Frank!” ❖ Vice President Lyndon Johnson is an amusing speechmaker. We heard him get a lusty howl from over 1,000 persons at a dinner honoring him in Manhattan. It was right after the 114-day newspaper strike ended. The Veep dryly intoned: “All of us high in the Administration are de- lighted to have the New York papers back on the stands, so that we can get the bene- fit of their advice and guidance from their editorials.” ❖ Far be it from us to try and start a war between designers of female finery Over Here and Over There, but did any of the Hollywood and New York outfitters see the following kick-in-the-shins? The quote reportedly came from Greek designer George Stavropoulos, who has done the apparel for Queen Fredricka of Greece and Greek movie star Melina Mer- couri. It’s a doozy, looka: “What a pity the Academy Awards reveal the movie queens’ great lack of culture except for a few like Audrey Hepburn, Olivia De Havilland and Eva Marie Saint. The others looked like old mops and cabbage leaves.” The irony of it : Most of the frocks worn by the celebs at the Oscars were designed by foreigners, including Greeks. * Legalites and other insiders expect “atomic” explosions when (and if) the trial of society columnist Igor Cassini starts. Cassini was indicted for failing to register as a lobbyist for a Central Ameri- can dictator, now dead. He is the brother of Oleg Cassini, designer of apparel for the wife of the President of the United States. People close to his famed lawyer, Louis Nizer, wouldn't be surprised if both the President and brother Bobby are sub- pena’d as witnesses. The talk is that both government executives gave Cassini the green light for his pro-Trujillo activities. Igor’s predicament reminds us of a grim fact: Influence is a thing you think you have until you have to use it. ❖ Oscar Winner Anne Bancroft’s genuine excitement caught by a news photographer when she was told she had won Best Actress Award. Two much-wed actresses were looking at the news photo in Sardi’s. “I guess,” one guessed, “a first Oscar must be a thrill. Like a first husband.” Attention, please, all Mary Pickford fans: The star of the long ago silent films is seeking early photos of herself from her Biograph and other movies . . . She wants them to loan for display by the Canadian Picture Pioneers’ celebration of their 60th anniversary. If any Photoplay readers can oblige please forward the photos to Hye Bossin of Canadian Film Weekly, 175 Bloor St. East, Toronto (5) Canada. ❖ A beautiful woman named Liz Renay will have paid her debt to society (as the saying goes) sometime this summer. She was sentenced to Terminal Island, a Fed- eral prison for females following her con- viction in a trial involving Mickey Cohen, west coast gang chief. She will have served two years. $25,000 CONTEST! ■ =a^v Starting with the July issue — and for the next five months TRUE STORY offers monthly Over *4,000 in Cash Prizes and Valuable Merchandise First Prize $1000 Second Prize $500 Third Prize $250 4 Fourth Prizes ..... $50 25 Fifth Prizes . . .(Hair Dryers) 10 Sixth Prizes .(Electric Shavers) 14 Seventh Prizes $25 16 Eighth Prizes $15 13 Ninth Prizes $10 50 Tenth Prizes •Soap Powder Dispensers THE QUEEN RE-CIRCULATING AIR for hair health and beauty!

She brought along some of her art — painted by herself. Quite a talent. I have a letter from one of her teenage daughters about her mother’s release from prison. In it she reminds that her mother once was chosen as the girl who most looked like Marilyn Monroe. It was a na- tional contest held by 20th Century-Fox. Liz and Marilyn were born the same year, too. The daughter says her mother will short- ly have a hook published. It is titled “Debt of Honor.” In it the author says: “I know what I did was wrong, but what else could I have done? Can you hurt a man who helped you when you needed it most? Can you then turn your back on him? When you see him with his back to the wall? I was forced to choose the lesser of two evils. There was no way to win.” At the prison gates when Liz Renay comes out she will be greeted by her daughter, Brenda, and husband and their babies — born while youngish Grandma was paying her Debt of Honor. ❖ Pravda ran an article bylined by Negro operatic star Paul Robeson. It told “why” Negroes cannot make a living under Uncle Sam, etcetera. The familiar tripe. Paul has been away from his native land so long perhaps he doesn’t keep up with the news about his former Harlem neigh- bors. Such as Willie Mays, who is having a “very rough time” getting $100,000 for playing baseball with the San Francisco Giants. How about Sammy Davis, Jr? Harry Belafonte? Nat (King) Cole? Diahann Carroll, leading lady of “No Strings” on Broadway? Pravda, in case you’ve forgotten, Paul, is Russian for Truth. Memo to Newsmen Everywhere: Re- porters who want to interview Tony Ran- dall (and who ask personal queries) had better be in good shape. Randall conducts most of his New York interviews at the Gotham Health Club while working out. Just about ten years ago Delbert Mann and Paddy Chayefsky received, respective- ly, $9,000 and $13,000 for the direction and screenplay of “Marty.” It made a for- tune for its landlords and others. Today Delbert and Paddy each receive $150,000 per film. Plus hefty percentage. Sophie Loren will protray a 60-year-old woman in “Yesterday, Today and Tomor- row.” Whadda Waste! Here’s an item for the Every-Little-Bit- Helps-Dept.: Movie and swim star Esther (we call her Statuesther) Williams re- cently received a royalty check. It was for a soundtrack her voice was on. The sum: $2.14. Movie people and others in show busi- ness recently back from The Old Country brought back this enlightening tid-bit: That Princess Soraya “evened things” with her ex-husband, the Shah of Iran, when she announced plans for a film debut on the anniversary of their divorce. It was in March, 1958, that Soraya was exiled from Iran. The deal to make a movie with producer de Laurentiis was announced in Rome, March 15, 1963. Her friends also spread the “news” that Soraya is convinced she was divorced not because she couldn’t bear children — but because the Shah fell out of love with her. Doctors, they added, assured Soraya that a minor operation would enable her to be- come a mother. ❖ Long Deep Sigh Dept.: We note that Maureen O’Hara’s beautiful eighteen-year- old daughter Bronwyn appears with Maureen in Warner’s epic “Spencer’s Mountain.” O, dear. It seems like only a few Yesterdays Ago that Charles Laughton presented the eighteen-year-old Maureen in “Jamaica Inn.” ❖ Some Hollywood folks are still upset over Hedda Hopper’s book which “tells all.” One actress complained: “Imagine writing our memoirs instead of her own!” The End Continued from page 52 world at that time that he had to have a celebration of his good fortune. His ca- reer had reached a height he never before dreamed it would, and there were obvi- ously better, much better things in store for him. And what better celebration than to have the world’s most desirable sex symbol in love with him? With Marilyn, it was not good fortune but unhappiness that drew her to him. She was getting older, she was afraid she was losing her beauty, she was afraid she’d lose out on her career. Her last pictures had not made the money expected of a Monroe movie — and if she couldn’t make money for the producers, who would hire her. And hadn’t 20th just fired her? Most of all, she had never found the love she’d been looking for, the love that was going to make her forget all her past unhappiness, the love that would make her world a beautiful place. So she went on looking. And not finding, she became more and more desperate. And with her desperation came the end- less pills, the drinking, and a dream she’d P had before — the dream of ending it all in dying. And then there was the man. She needed him. She needed his con- fidence and his vitality. Because if this man was so confident of himself and of his future, and since he’d chosen her, didn’t that mean he believed in her, too? And if he believed in her, then she couldn’t possibly be as bad as she thought she was. Maybe he will marry me! Besides, to her, there was always the faint possibility that be would marry her and they could live happily ever after. But it was all a dream, and somewhere deep inside her she knew that. He explained to her that they’d never marry. He loved his wife, he told her, though he loved her, too. And there was his career, he told her. any scandal would ruin it — and he'd never allow that to hap- pen. This was what he’d dedicated his life to. No, he’d never allow that to happen. And so they spent time together, as much time as they could manage, in quiet, out of the way places, at her home, in friends’ apartments, once or twice meeting in the same public place and not acknowl- edging each other. You must understand that he is an honorable man. Never before had he been anything but devoted to his wife and family. But he had a need for Marilyn and he allowed himself his indulgence. It was to be his fatal flaw. And, Marilyn, at that time, was too weak to deny her need for him. And so they went on — reaching closer and closer to tragedy— until the man’s conscience began to bother him. Some people knew about their romance, could his wife find out? What would she do — would she leave him? And, if it became public knowledge, what would happen to his work? Would he be besmirched by scandal just when his life’s dream was close to the brink of coming true? He’d better see Marilyn less. He’d better try to stop seeing her altogether. And the more he tried to stop seeing her, the more desperate Marilyn became. There were the phone calls, the threats, the pills again. He didn’t believe her, all she did was make him almost hate her. Finally, on a Sunday night August 5, 1962, Marilyn tried again. She spoke to him on the phone. “Don’t leave me,” she pleaded. “It’s over,” he answered, “I’ll never leave my wife. I can’t see you any more.” He hung up on her and she tried to lose herself in sleep. Beside her bed there was a bottle of fifty sleep capsules. There, there was her friend, the thing that always gave her peace. She gulped down a handful. The phone rang. It was a close friend of hers, a friend who knew all about the romance. “He won’t take me back,” she cried. “He said he’ll never come back.” The friend told her, “I’ll come over and talk to you.” But Marilyn didn’t want anyone to see her the way she looked. Her eyes were swollen and red. She’d let her blonde hair grow out until the dark roots showed. Her face clearly showed the signs of drinking and pills. “No,” she said, “I’ve taken a sleeping pill. I’ll just go to sleep.” But she couldn’t sleep — and next to her was the bottle of pills. If she could 74 sleep, she would feel better. She could dream about her career, her fame. But she had no career. Her studio had fired her. Well, she could dream that somebody loved her. She could forget about her father who never wanted her, her mother who escaped to mental institutions. And she could forget this man who had left her, too. If she could only sleep. And next to her was the bottle of pills. The bottle. It was empty! There were none left. She had to get help! She called him. Maybe she’s faking . . . First, he thought: If this gets out I’m through. I cant get involved in something like this. Then, She’s faking. She’s threat- ened me before. She’d never really do it. He told her again he couldn’t get in- volved—that he was a married man. He hung up. It all took less than a minute. The last thing Marilyn heard was the buzzing of the receiver in her hand. Coroner Theodore J. Curphey, in his official report, noted: “Miss Monroe had often expressed the wish to give up, with- draw, and even to die. On more than one occasion in the past, when disappointed and depressed, she had made suicide at- tempts by using sedative drugs. On these occasions she had called for help and had been rescued.” This time she had not been rescued. It was her housekeeper, Mrs. Eunice Murray, who first sensed that something was wrong. The light in Marilyn’s bed- room was still burning at three that morn- ing. She knocked. There was no answer. She tried the door. It was locked. She called Marilyn’s psychiatrist. Dr. Ralph Greenson. He hurried over and broke in the window. When he found her, she was dead. The telephone was still buzzing in her hand. Now it is a year later. Mrs. Murray has disappeared, she’d vanished shortly after Marilyn’s death. Pat Newcombe, Marilyn’s publicity agent, has left the Hollywood scene and is now working in Washington, D.C. Joe DiMaggio, her second husband, has remained faithful to her memory— he has a small bouquet of roses placed on her crypt every week. But he is not the only one who is faith- ful to Marilyn today. There is still the man. The man who killed Marilyn. He is the man they can never arrest. He is the man who is still at-large. He is the man who is living the death she so quickly found. We have lost her, but so has he. Wherever he goes, whatever he touches, whomever he sees; he thinks of Marilyn. His guilt never leaves him, his fear has become his friend. For once, long ago, before all this, he was an honorable man. But he had made a fatal mistake. And now he is lost— not to all the world— but to himself. Some people know who he is. Will they ever reveal it publicly? Does his wife know? Would she tell? And he himself, will his guilt pry his tongue loose? Ypu can see him in a crowd. You can reach out and touch him. . . . And you will never know that he is the man who killed Marilyn Monroe. And he is the man who killed himself. — Martha Donaldson WIN YOUR SHARE OF $36,000.00 INDEPENDENCE HALL, INC.'S FABULOUS,' \ \\ r^f PICTURE ' PUZZLE ^ ALL NEW 'J/ V CONTEST!

Dinah Shore's divorce from George Montgomery became final. And then she upped and married Maurice Smith, the tennis player. . . . Rita Hayworth and ex- husband, Jim Hill, are seeing more of each other than when they were married. . . . Wasn't another behind the split up of the Robert Prestons? This one really shocked Hollywood. The Prestons celebrated their twenty-fourth wedding anniversary last sum- » mer while Bob was making "Island of Love" in Greece. They have no children. . . . Edie Adams and Richard Quine have resumed where they left off. Joan O'Brien sought the annulment of her marriage to Harvey Allen. The actress swal- lowed too many sleeping pills only four days after their marriage. Unlike Marilyn Mon- roe, there was someone (Allen) on hand to save her life. I wonder if Joan and her old flame, Robert Vaughn, will resume? Anita Ekberg is fighting the hungers again. She gained thirty pounds and now is on a strict diet.

Continued from page 61 history one day — that there would even be a movie made about it one day — the men would probably have responded with some- thing very salty . . . and censorable! Final addition The final addition to the 109’s crew came aboard in early August of ’42, soon after the boat was transferred from Tulagi Harbor to the nearby island of Rendova. He was an ensign, named George “Barney” Ross. He was a former classmate of Lt. Kennedy’s. His own PT boat — the 166 — - had just been shot out from under him. He was now minus — and desperately in want of — another assignment. At a briefing one day, Ross approached a commanding officer and asked if he might be assigned to the 109. The officer looked over at Lt. Kennedy, standing alongside Ross. “Well,” said Jack Kennedy, “I have a .37 millimeter I’m put- ting on. He can have a go at that.” “All right, Ross,” said the officer, “ — you’re with the 109.” As the officer walked away. Kennedy turned to his old buddy. “You do know how to fire a .37, don’t you, Barney?” he asked on the confiden- tial, yet hopeful, side. “I can learn,” Ross answered. “You can show me, in fact.” There was a short moment of silence. And then Jack Kennedy said, “I have a small confession, Barney. We’ll have to learn together!” And, unable to help it, the two men be- gan to laugh. But not for long. Because within minutes the briefing had started. And judging by the expression on the face of the officer who was now talking — by the grim tone of his voice — by the quick and definite way he pointed his stick at the large map behind him — it was easy to see that this was serious business now. “We have,” said the officer, “a message from CTF-31. I’ll try to summarize. There’s a strong chance the Empress may run to- night. That means a group of destroyers . . . probably Amagiri Class. And heavy barge traffic. Their mission is to land troops and supplies at Vila. My instruc- tions are to use every available PT. Similar orders have been issued to Kelly. His group will operate in Kula Gulf. We’ll pa- trol Area Baker. Our position off Vanga Vanga promises to be a busy one. If the destroyers try to cross Blackett Strait, be sure your fish are ready to fire. If they go north around Kolombangara, we have Burke and Kelly’s PTs. . . . That’s it.” And with that the stick came down. The men in the room rose . . . and they turned and headed for their boats. Torpedoman Andrew Kirksey of the 109 shivered a little when he saw Lt. Kennedy and Ensign Ross start to board the craft. “What’s the matter?” someone asked him, noticing his reaction and the shiver. “I’m not too crazy about having this new ensign aboard,” Kirksey said. “It’s bad luck having a stranger aboard,” The other man laughed. “Don’t be silly, Andy,” he said. “That’s for ships like Moby Dick. Not this one.” But Kirksey was not reassured. A little while later, the 109 underway now. Radioman John Maguire was sitting in the galley, drinking a cup of coffee. Kirksey entered. He seemed to be unusu- ally tired. Maguire, noticing this, poured a cup of coffee and handed it to Kirksey. “John, will you take care of my things?” Kirksey asked suddenly. “What things?” Maguire asked back. “What’re you talking about?” And then, noticing the cup shake in Kirksey’s hand, realizing the genuineness of the man’s fear, he added, “Listen, when we get back — you better sack-in for a while and — ” But Kirksey interrupted him. “I’m not coming back. I'm gonna be killed.” Maguire nodded. “Yeah,” he said, “the last four boats I was on there was always a guy who said he was going to get his.” “They knew too, huh?” Kirksey asked. “They knew nothing,” said Maguire, firmly. “No one died on any of those boats!” He looked at the frightened man for a long moment. And then, not knowing what else to say, he left the galley and walked into the companionway, where he ran into Lt. Kennedy. “Skipper — can you give me a minute?” Maguire whispered. “Sure, Mac, what is it?” Kennedy asked. “Skipper — maybe you’d better talk to Kirksey. He’s afraid they’re gonna mail him home.” Kennedy understood. He walked towards the galley, opened the door — saw Kirksey seated alone at the table and joined him. “I don’t know what’s the matter with me, Mr. Kennedy,” said Kirksey, apolo- getically, but firmly. “I just got this awful rotten feeling I’m not coming back.” “A cold hand on my heart” “And do you know, Andy — ” Jack Ken- nedy said, softly, “ — but I don’t think there’s a man on this boat who hasn’t had that thought one time or another.” “But you don’t understand, Mr. Ken- nedy,” Kirksey persisted. “I don’t think about it. I know it. Didn’t you ever have a feeling ahead of time something’s going to happen — right before it does happen?” Kennedy nodded. “Yes,” he said. “It’s like someone put a cold hand on my heart,” Kirksey said. “I got a chill and can’t shake it off.” “It can happen, Andy,” Kennedy said, nodding again. “You can die. That’s war. When I think about it I try to remember the odds are on our side.” “Yes, sir,” said Kirksey, “ — but the Japs aren’t.” He closed his eyes for a moment, then opened them and looked over at the lieutenant. “Are you trying to tell me I shouldn’t worry, sir?” he asked. “You’d be a fool if you didn't,” said Jack Kennedy, smiling a little. “Then what can a man do — except pray?” Kirksey asked, and there was a note of heavy pleading in his voice. Kennedy sighed. “All you can do is your job, Andy,” he said, “ — like the rest of us.” And there seemed to be nothing more to Feel so clean . . . so safe . . . so freshly feminine (Douche with medically formulated Massengill Powder) If you’ve been douching with vinegar or other makeshift kitchen mixtures, you can’t imagine the assurance there is in douching with a preparation medi- cally formulated expressly for this purpose.

As Kirksey continued to sit there, alone again now — still not completely reassured — in fact more convinced than ever now, as he turned and stared through the galley’s single porthole and out at the black night beyond, that this black night would be his last night. And, perhaps, it would be the last night for all the gallant men of the 109. . . . All hell broke loose No one will ever know exactly what thoughts passed through Andrew Kirksey’s mind that moment a few hours later when someone yelled: “Ship at two o’clock!” Several iieads aboard the 109 turned. For a moment, and only for a moment, they saw it — the bow of the Jap destroyer headed towards them, a huge cleaver coming from out of the dark and bearing down on them. Lt. Kennedy, standing there in the cock- pit of the 109, was one of those who saw it. Instantly, he grabbed for the throttle, then pushed it forward. Then, desperately, he threw the wheel to port and at the same time pressed the button for General Quarters alarm. But it was useless. Because four seconds had barely passed when the speeding destroyer smashed thunderously into the fragile hull of the 109, when all hell suddenly broke loose aboard the boat, as fire broke out in the engine room, as men were hurled about and sent flying into space like leaves in a high wind, as some of the men were hurled over the side, as others were trapped in the burning innards of the boat. There was no hope, of course, for the trapped men. But those in the water — a choppy sea aflame with burning gasoline now — had to be rescued. . . . And were. There were more than a handful of heroes among the crew of the 109 those next few minutes — the able aiding the disabled back to the boat, the wounded doing everything they could to save the worse-wounded. Though all have attested that it was their skipper himself — John F. Kennedy, Lt. (j.g.) — who was the most heroic of them all. First, Kennedy rescued “Pappy” Mc- Mahon, badly burned, badly crippled. Then he went back into the water to look for “Bucky” Harris, a young sailor whom he’d passed while towing McMahon and whom he’d seen was suffering from exhaustion. “Let’s go, Bucky,” Kennedy called out, when he finally reached the frantic young sailor, “ — it’s not far.” “I can’t,” Harris called back. “My leg!” Kennedy tried to help him. “Let go,” Harris snarled. “Leave me alone. Take care of your damned boat.” But the young lieutenant could be just as ornery. “I said come on,” Kennedy growled. And he grabbed Harris, held him from behind and started swimming back towards the 109. When they reached the boat, Kennedy pushed Harris up towards the foredeck, where the flames had begun to ebb by now. P Then, he, too, climbed aboard. He looked around at the others now; mentally, the lieutenant counted heads. “Kirksey and Marney,” Kennedy then asked, “ — did anyone see them?” “No, sir,” he was told. “Not since we were hit.” Kennedy turned to Ensign Thom. “We’ll have another look,” he said, as he slipped back into the water, Thom right behind him. Harold Marney was gone. And as for Andy Kirksey, whom Jack Kennedy had tried to reassure only a few hours earlier that night — someone had in- deed put a cold hand on his heart. . . . The long night passed. And from Headquarters at Rendova. miles away, this message was issued: “Believe PT 109 lost in night action 2 Aug. two miles southwest of Mer- usu Island. Repeat Merusu Island. Crew of thirteen. Request air search early as possible. . . Dawn came, finally. The hulk of the 109 sat unsteadily on the water’s surface. And aboard the hulk sat and lay the men of the 109 — all except Lt. Kennedy, who stood, staring out towards the small flecks of islands not too far away. The men, in general, were hopeful: “It’s a clear day,” said one. “Our boys won’t have any trouble picking us up.” Some even made attempts at humor: said one to Kennedy, “You sure run a very wet boat, Lieutenant.” But Jack Kennedy had someone else on his mind now, as he stared at the islands on the horizon — as he asked suddenly for Ensign Thom to bring him a chart of the area. “What’s up?” asked Thom, as he opened the chart. “Even if our boat doesn’t go under,” Kennedy said, “we’ll float right down into the Japanese’ laps.” He studied the chart. “The question is . . . which island.” The swim Apprehensively, Thom asked: “You’re not thinking of swimming there.” “It’s one way, Lennie,” said Kennedy — his reply a flat, impatient challenge. “But I’m open-minded.” “Some of those islands, Lieutenant,” said Thom, “are enemy held. Most of them!” Kennedy pointed to the chart now as he spoke. “We know Kolombangara is. We know Gizo is. And maybe this one. It’s big enough for a garrison. . . . But here. Look. Plum Pudding Island. It’s about three-and-a-half miles.” He looked up at Thom. “I think we can make it.” “Skipper,” Bucky Harris called out now, as he sat listening with the other men. “How far did you say that island is?” Jack Kennedy managed a smile. “Don’t worry, Buck,” he said. “It’s only three inches on the chart.” Then, the smile going, he gave orders PHOTOGRAPHERS' CREDITS Pg 29: Roddy McDowall; pg 30: Pictorial Parade; pg 31: Sorci-PIP; pgs 36-37: Rayment Kirby; pgs 38-39: (top) Gray-Gilloon, (bottom) Hamilton- Globe; pgs 40-41: Orlando; pg 45: Hamilton- Globe; pg 46: Henri Dauman; pg 47: Dallinger- Gilloon; pgs 48-49: Sorci-PIP; pgs 56-57: Jerry Herald; pgs 58-59: Warner Brothers; pg 62: Fuchs- Vista; pg 63 (top) Keystone Press, (bottom) Fuchs- Vista; pgs 68: Art Palmer. for the men to abandon the 109, to get into the water and hold tight to a long wooden plank on which they’d lashed some gear. “You can propel yourselves on that,” he called out, “using the plank- ing as a buoy.” That said, he turned towards Thom and Zinser and asked them to lower “Pappy” McMahon — the most seriously wounded crewman of all — into the water. “I don’t think Pappy can make it,” Thom said. “I’ll take him,” said Jack Kennedy. And with that, he, too, slipped into the water now, turned McMahon on his back, took the loose end of a strap from the kapok McMahon was wearing, placed the strap between his teeth — and he began to swim, carrying the wounded man. . . . The island Not one of the eleven men remembers exactly how long it took them to get to Plum Pudding Island. They remember little more than that they all made it — somehow; that despite their fatigue, their hunger, their thirst, their wounds — they made it. Soon after they stumbled onto the beach, in fact, they thought they had it made. From out of nowhere, suddenly, one of the men heard an airplane motor. The others, alerted, looked up and they saw it, a Navy PBY — American — come to rescue them. They began to wave at the plane, al- most directly overhead now. They shouted up: “We’re here. Here. Down here!” But, incredible as it seemed, the plane did not dip its wings. Nor did its pilot give any indication that he had seen the stranded men on the beach below. And, after less than a minute, the plane began to head out towards the open sea. And confused, heartbroken, in silent desperation, the men of the 109 turned once more, as if by habit now, to young Lt. Kennedy, waiting to hear his next words to them. Kennedy spoke, as usual, very matter- of-factly. “There’s Ferguson Passage — the chan- nel,” he said. “Our boats are bound to come through there on night patrol. . . . Now, if I could get out there with our lantern, I might be able to flag them.” “But,” said one of the men, “you can’t tread water all night.” Kennedy consulted his chart. “There’s a coral strip that runs out there,” he said. “I can walk part of the way.” “You think it might work?” he was asked. “We can’t send for room service,” said Kennedy. “I’ll give it a try.” At dusk that night, he set off on his lone mission. As he began to wade into the water, he turned to Ensigns Thom and Ross, and to Seaman Starkey and Radioman Ma- guire, who were preparing to stand watch on the beach. “If I find a boat,” Kennedy called back to them, “I’ll flash the lantern.” Then he turned and continued making his way into the water. “Ain’t that the biggest damned fool you ever saw?” Maguire asked, in admiration, half to himself, as he watched his skipper disappear into the dusk. And then, realizing his choice of lan- guage and remembering there were officers alongside him, he added: “Sirs?” The channel waters were cold, and choppy. The night, a very dark one. Close to cracking Jack Kennedy swam, and treaded water, for hours, hoping for a glimpse of a patroling PT boat. At one point, he did hear a motor — a boat, not far. He began to swim towards the boat. And then he heard the voices, coming from its deck — speaking Japanese. And then, suddenly, a bright searchlight began to scan the water. Kennedy ducked. He made it un- derwater just in time, just as the search- light hit the area where he’d been swim- ming. The light didn’t move. It bounced on that one patch of water, steadily now. Kennedy stayed under — struggling to hold his breath. Finally, when he could hold it no longer, he started towards the water’s surface. And the light, luckily, very luck- ily, moved away just as his head came out above the water. . . . He told Ross and Thom about this early the next morning, when he came stumbling back up the beach on Plum Pudding Island. Exhausted, haggard, his feet bleeding — he told them about how the Jap boat had come, how the American boats hadn’t. And then, like a sleepwalker, he began to move up the beach. Until he slumped down against a palm trunk. And buried his head in his arms. For the first time, young Lt. Kennedy seemed to be near the cracking point. As he asked now: “Where are they? They must know we’re somewhere! “Barney,” he said then, not even looking up at Ross, “ — you try it tonight.” “All right,” Ross said. And then the ensign added: “We’ll stay with it as long as we can. But if something doesn’t hap- pen soon. . . . I’m afraid we’re going to tap out. There’s a Japanese island over there, not far. Some of the boys feel that’s better than nothing.” Kennedy didn’t say anything for a mo- ment. But then he raised his head. And said, “That means giving up, Barney.” “To the boys,” said Ross, “it means giv- ing up alive.'” “No,” said Kennedy — his voice weak, but his eyes stubborn. “We’re getting out of here, Barney. I don’t know how — but we’re getting out of here.” There was another pause. And then, once again, Jack Kennedy buried his face in his arms. “If we go back, we go back without Marney and Kirksey,” he whispered. “That’s what beats me . . . that’s what beats the hell out of me.” Ross and Thom watched their lieuten- ant for a moment. Then Thom made a signal to Ross. And the two men walked away — leaving their lieutenant, mercifully, alone. . . . “Flaw in my character” As planned, Ross made the long swim out into the channel later that day. Like Kennedy’s swim the night before, this was equally futile. The men of the 109 were depressed now. “Mr. Kennedy,” one of them asked, “do you think that we’ll ever get out of this?” “Yep,” said Kennedy, his strength obvi- ously returning, “ — we’re moving to Ola- sana.” “I’m telling you, lieutenant,” another said, “I can’t walk on any more reef. My feet are already cut to the bone. I won t be able to make Olasana.” Kennedy was firm: “You’re going to have to make it!” “Why move at all?” asked a third man. “At least we know there aren’t any Japs here.” “We also know,” said Kennedy, “that there isn’t any food. . . . Listen.” he went on, “Olasana is closer to Ferguson Pas- sage. Those boats are coming through tonight. They’ve got to. The odds are on our side.” “Honestly, you stiff me,” came a voice now. It was Ross speaking, looking at Kennedy and shaking his head. “Here we are . . . beat and burned and given up for dead! Living on green coconuts with no water in the middle of 15.000 Japanese soldiers! And you decide the odds are on our side.” Kennedy shrugged. “All right,” he said, “ — it’s a flaw in my character.” And then he turned and, as he moved off to start the work party, he called out: “Come on! In the water by noon!” Nine men holding onto the plank and paddling — Jack Kennedy carrying “Pap- py” McMahon on his back — they eventu- ally made Olasana. There they found no food, no water. But, instead, two natives who stood pointing Japanese rifles at them. The majority of the men made it clear to Kennedy that they didn’t trust these two; them or their rifles. But Kennedy was hopeful; he knew damn well that hope was the only thing he had going for them all now. “Will you deliver a message for us?” he asked the two, “in your boat. . . . Can you take a message to Rendova?” The natives didn’t answer. Kennedy moved over to a nearby tree trunk, looked around, picked up a coconut and. with a hunting knife, he began to carve a message. “This could backfire, you know,” said Ross, joining bis lieutenant now. “It could,” Kennedy said. “If it falls into the wrong hands, it’s like taking out an ad . . . telling them exactly where we are,” said Ross. Kennedy looked at the ensign. “Time is running out, Barney,” he said, summing up the situation. Then he handed the coconut to Ross. “That cover it?” Ross read the message: “Native knows posit. He can pilot . Eleven alive need small boat. Kennedy ” “Guess it’ll do,” said Ross. Kennedy handed the coconut to the natives who, silently, took it and made for their canoe. Quickly, they slid the canoe into the water and began to paddle away. Quickly, the men on shore noticed that the canoe seemed to be headed straight for Kolombangara, the Jap-held island across the channel. It might have been the current that shifted them that way; it might have been that the natives were purposely going in that direction. The men on shore didn’t know for sure. They only knew that they must wait. And, tensely, very tensely, they waited. 87 r \ OPPORTUNITIES E0R YOU For ad rates, write PCD 549 W.

I NAME " I ADDRESS I | CITY & STATE | Accredited Member national home study council There was anger during the long wait. At one point when one of the men began to complain and hollered, “It’s getting so I really don’t care what happens to us, lieutenant!” Kennedy hollered back — “Well, start caring! All of you. Start caring right now. There’s a way out of this. Suppose those natives don't come through for us. Something else is going to happen. If it doesn’t, we’ll make it hap- pen. Because we’re not going to die out here. We’re going home instead. If we have to get in the water and drag this whole island back, we’re going home!” Now is soon enough And there was soft humor: “I know one thing, Mr. Kennedy,” said the wounded “Pappy” McMahon to his skipper at one point. “If I ever do get out of here — there’s only two things in the world I want. My wife, and some dry- land motors to work on. . . . What about you?” “Well,” Jack Kennedy answered, “I’m not much on dryland motors, Pappy. But — I’ll dig up something to do.” And so there were many emotions felt, thoughts thought, during the long wait. Until, finally, exactly twenty-four hours after the two natives had taken off in their canoe, the wait was suddenly ended. With the appearance on the beach of another canoe — a larger one this time — manned by six men. And with the appear- ance of the leader of these men — a missionary-trained, English-speaking, fe- dora-sporting native named Benjamin Kevu. Kevu handed Kennedy a letter, as the rest of the men gathered around excitedly. “It’s from a coastwatcher named Evans,” said Kennedy, as he read the letter. “He’s advising Rendova. I’m to meet him and ar- range a rendezvous. Kevu is to take me.” “In that canoe?” asked Ensign Thom. “But you’ll be spotted.” “Gentlemen,” said Kennedy, “ — book my bets.” Then, turning to Kevu, he asked, “Ready?” “We should leave as soon as possible,” Continued from page 48 on the set doing what is known in the movie trade as a “color test.” With such a full day behind her — and ahead of her — Cindy would undoubtedly be nervous and tired during our interview. Then, an elevator door opened and a girl — brown-haired, brown-eyed, dressed in pink Capris and a bright yellow blouse — came bouncing into the lobby of the Nazionale. She looked around for a moment, took a deep breath, walked over and, in a voice straight out of a sparkle machine, said, “Hi, I’m Cindy! Isn’t this just the greatest day in the whole world? By gol-ly, me in Rome. Can you believe it? It just cracks I ” me up! Her excitement so filled the lobby of the Nazionale that even the formidable-looking doorman — who’s seen so many celebrities he’s immune to them — began to grin. And we knew, before a foot of film had been shot, that Cindy Carol — like her “Giget” predecessors Sandra Dee and Deborah Walley — had it made! “Hi, PoUsseum!” The interview began moments later in the long, black car that took us from the Nazionale to the studio outside Rome. And let it be noted here that this turned out to be a far from conventional interview — because we didn’t ask the first questions. It was asked by the somewhat-English- speaking chauffeur (another easy Cindy conquest) . “You are from the California, sig- P norina?” he asked, as he raced his car through the helter-skelter antipasto of automobiles known as Rome traffic. 88 “Yep.” Cindy answered, “ — born and raised there.” “You got the mamma ,and the poppa there?” asked the chauffeur. Cindy nodded. “Mamma, poppa and two brothers and a sister.” Then, suddenly: “Heyyyyyyy!” she called out. “Yes, signorina?” asked the chauffeur. “Is that the Colisseum we’re passing?” “You have right.” said the chauffeur. Whereupon Cindy leaned out of the car window, waved joyously and shouted: “Hello, Colisseum . . .!” And whereupon the chauffeur began to double up in joyous laughter ... as our car began to swerve . . . and then, fortu- nately, to unswerve and get back on the street again. “ Signorina — she has the boy friend?” the chauffeur asked next. “Oh sure,” said Cindy. “He’s tall and has muscles this big and he’s just the greatest. I met him at a parade. The March of Dimes — know what that is? Well, anyway, we were riding on a float to- gether and we hit it off just fine. I’m not going to tell you his name — because there’s a writer here with us — and because my mom. she’s the greatest, but she won’t like it if she sees our names in print. And neither will my boy friend. As he says, ‘It’s funny out here in Hollywood, but two people get their names linked publicly and three weeks later they bust up!’ ” The chauffeur nodded. “He has smart- ness— your friend.” “He’s the most.” said Cindy. “Heyyyyyyy! What’s that big white thing over there?” “That? Ah,” said the chauffeur, “there you have the monument to Vittorio Em- manuele — of pure white marble — the Wed- ing Cake, as we Italians call it.” “Hi, ‘Wedding Cake,’ ” Cindy shouted, waving, leaning out the window again: “Oooooh, you’re so pretty I could eat you right up!” Naturally, the chauffeur doubled up again. And the car swerved again. And we sat praying that we’d eventually make it to the studio somehow. Fifteen minutes later, we made it! said Kevu. “The Jap patrols are active.” “Is now soon enough?” Kennedy asked. And without pausing for an answer, he began to run towards the waiting canoe. Okay in Ha-vad The little boat made it to the coast- watcher’s station — safely. There, Kennedy was picked up by the PT 157. There were lots of handshakes, there was lots of backslapping. And then, within minutes, the PT headed out towards Plum Pudding Island — where, a little while later, ten bedrag- gled survivors of the 109 waved and cheered and laughed and wept when they saw their young lieutenant standing at the bow of the oncoming boat, letting them know with that schoolboy grin of bis, calling out to them with that Ha-vad accent of his, that everything was all right now. That everything was just fine now. —Adapted from the Warners’ script. by Doug Brewer Cindy reported first to the makeup de- partment. “Come with me,” she said, taking our hand and smiling warmly at us. “You can ask me some questions up there!” He interviewed my interview! But the makeup man — a young, Valen- tino type — began to bubble over, raptur- ously, when he heard that Cindy had worked with Loretta Young. And it was he who asked the questions. “Ah, Loretta, Loretta, I work with her a long time ago . . . she is so wonderful. So kind!” “She’s marvelous,” said Cindy. “Do you know the first time I met her — to try out for her show — she sat talking to me about traffic tickets. Of course, I guess you could say she was interviewing me, sizing me up. But she used such a relaxing tech- nique. Not like some other producers who lean back and say, ‘So vot haff you done, young lady?’ — and scare the wits out of you !” The makeup man sighed. “She must have been very pleased when you won this role in ‘Gidget,’ mia bella?” “She couldn’t have been more pleased,” said Cindy. “The studio had to clear it with her for me to make the test in the first place. That was just before Christmas last year. And after the test, Miss Young said to me that she’d heard from some- body at Columbia that it looked real good for me. Then, on New Year’s Eve, she had a party at her home, and all of us kids were invited. And when I walked in, she came running up to me. And she said to me, ‘The studio just phoned and asked for your full release. You got it! You got it!’ And then she hugged me. And gosh, we were both excited. Say . . . what’s mia bella mean?” The makeup man looked into her eyes. “It means . . . my beauty.” And with that she closed her eyes and began to giggle — while her face, despite the newly-applied makeup, turned a bright and lovely pink! The color test was about to begin on the sound-stage. Cindy sat on a high ■ stool, facing a huge camera ready to be photographed for lighting and texture. The man conducting the test was the producer, Jerry Bresler. Bresler, tall and amiable man walked over and said, “Cindy isn’t the typical kind of beauty, is she? But she is exactly what Gidget is supposed to he — a girl every girl loves to have as a friend, a girl every boy loves to be with.” He then explained how the picture was originally intended for Deborah Walley, who became pregnant soon after her mar- riage to John Ashley and who — because of a history of miscarriages in her family — couldn’t travel to Rome. “So,” said Bresler, “we conducted a contest. Yes, it’s true — there were 10.000 applicants, from all over the world. Fin- ally I tested twenty of the girls. None was right. And then someone told me about this girl on the Loretta Young show, right in my own back yard, as it were. He did, too “Well,” Bresler said. “I’d better get on with this test.” He walked to within yards of where Cindy was sitting on that high stool. With a motion of his hand, the crew became suddenly quiet, the huge overhead lights were turned on, the camera was flicked on — and the test got underway. . . . “Now, Cindy,” Bresler began, “as I talk to you, turn a little; right profile, left profile — you know. And we’ll chat. Tell me, how was the plane trip over?” “The most,” Cindy said. “They threw all kinds of food at us soon as we got on. Two hours later they tried to give us breakfast. And two hours after that, they came out with champagne!” “Drink yours, Cindy?” “I took a sip. Then I gave the rest to two men sitting across the aisle from me.” And then he asked, suddenly: “How does Loretta Young walk into a room?” “She zzzoooooooommmms.” “What do you think of your co-star in the picture you're about to make?” “Jimmy Darren?” Cindy said. “Oh, 1 think he’s darling. He looks and acts darling. I can’t wait to meet him.” “His wife will be with him,” Bresler said, straight-faced. Without a blink, Cindy retorted, “And I can’t wait to meet her!” (Everyone laughed.) “Were you a tomboy as a kid?” “I sure was,” Cindy answered. “I always used to follow my older brother, Anthony, around. I didn’t play with dolls. My sister, Debbie — she’s six-and-a-half now — she’s just the opposite of what I was. Ultra feminine. In fact, her dolls have more clothes than I do.” “Your mother’s here in Rome, isn’t she?” Bresler asked. “Yes. She came over with me. She’s go- ing to stay a few weeks. She’d miss the family too much if she stayed any longer.” “What’s she like?” “She’d do anything for any of us kids. 1 ■ just love her.” “And your father?” “Daddy’s a schoolteacher. And he couldn’t be less interested in show busi- i ness. In fact, we never talk about it at home. Not that we’re not allowed to. It’s just that daddy would rather talk about our education and the camping trips we all make together, and things like that, i His main concern, I guess you’d say, is our character. And our education. Like the time he stopped me from lisping. I lisped terribly till I was eight. But with patience — sheer patience — he got me out of this. Just like he got me out of talking too fast. I'd go on and on sometimes, like a speed- boat. And Daddy would just ignore me and say, ‘I can tell you’re talking, Cindy, because I can see your mouth moving — it would be interesting to know what you’ve been saying.’ And I’d say, ‘Okay, Daddy, I'll have to take it a little slower. And. eventually, it all worked.” “And you got into the business through Anthony, I understand?” “Sort of,” Cindy said. “He was trying out for a TV show a few years ago. I kind of plodded along on the interview. And when the producer of the show, Jim Moser, saw me, he thought I’d come along to try out for a small part. Which I got, on the spot.” “You went to school, meanwhile? “Oh sure — North Hollywood High.” “Did you enjoy yourself there?” Boys! Boys! Boys! “Much,” Cindy said. "Bui only because 1 never let on that I was acting on the side. It’s a public school, you know. And some kids on the shows, well, they're really treated like outcasts. So I never told any- body about me. When I had to take off time to work I’d say I was out on a den- tist’s appointment, or something like that. And meanwhile I'd pray my friends would never spot me on TV.” “Have you lots of friends?” he asked. “Oodles of them,” she answered. “I’m one of those people— the first kids I met are still my friends.” “Girl friends mostly?” “Boy friends mostly,” Cindy said. “And hey, I don't mean lovey-dovey stuff. 1 mean, well, aside from a few very close girl friends I just seem to find boys more interesting. Boys, in fact, are the backbone of the three crowds I belong to.” “Three crowds?” “Yep. One is the beatnik crowd. We do the wildest things. You know: wear jeans and you listen to weird music. The second one I call the collegians, since most ol those kids go to college. We go out on funsy-type things. I’m usually a replace- ment— you know — when one of the boys has had a fight with his steady. The third crowd? Well, I guess you'd call it the kids-in-the-business group. Beverly Wash- burn, Shelley Fabares, Sharon Baird, Dirk and Dack Rambo who are great (and whose real names are Orman and Norman, believe it or not) — and who are among the few actors 1 know who don’t expect you to hold their hands while they cry their hearts out.” There was a short pause. Then, suddenly, Bresler said, "The) serve the best spaghetti at the commissary here — want to try some?” “Gee, I don’t know, Mr. Bresler,” she answered. “The man from Photoplay is counting on his interview.” “So we’ll ask him to lunch, too. And about those questions — maybe I’ve done enough asking. . . .” And, a few minutes later, the three of us were on our way to the commissary, where the spaghetti was delightful. Just like the young girl with whom we shared it. . . . — Ed DeBlasio TRUST YODORA I i i i For those intimate moments . . , don’t take a chance. . .trust Yodora and feel confident.

I think they’re missing such a lot, getting married, and as far as it lasting, well, I don’t know about that; it depends upon who you marry and all that sort of thing. But I think I want to avoid it for some time. I mean, frankly — marriage at seventeen— I think it’s madness because you’re married the whole rest of your life; not that I want to fling around from one boy to another boy; I think when you’re married, it’s a sort of tie. Until you want to be tied and start darning socks, all that sort of stuff, you know. And so if you suddenly say, I’m going away for a week end, you can’t, because you’ve got to tell the milkman to leave two bottles of milk. But I don’t want to have someone hang- ing around my neck, you know; I want to enjoy myself and have fun. Anyway. I like being with my family too much now. 1 don’t want to cut myself off from them. FRED: Your sister Julia got married pretty young and she’s happy. HAYLEY : Yes, she’s very happy. But I think she’s always been a very inde- pendent person and I think it was because when she was my age she went to New York which made her feel more grown- up. I think she was more adult at my age than I am now. She was twenty when she married. So that’s quite good. A monster in there FRED: It’s a very level-headed family, this Mills family, I really think so, and all the way down to the seventeen-year-old. HAYLEY : Well, to my brother Jona- than— he’s more level-headed than I am. I’m not really very level-headed. You should see my room; you’d think there was a monster in there. FRED: A little monster named Hayley? HAYLEY: Yes. Very untidy. Look at this room, I mean; it looks like a bomb has hit it. FRED: This is typical of women! HAYLEY : Oh, it isn’t. Most women are terribly, terribly tidy. I tend to leave things where I put them, anywhere. FRED: That’s charming. I mean, if you were always as neat as a pin and every- thing had to be in its place, that would reflect on your whole personality. Which is as exuberant and effusive and wonder- fully bubbly, you know — that’s you. HAYLEY : As untidy as my room. FRED: It’s a marvelous personality. And you bite your nails. HAYLEY : Oh, that’s terrible. Don’t say that. I know. FRED: Why do you do that? HAYLEY: I don’t know; I’ve always done it. I suppose it’s nerves to a certain extent. But I think it’s just sheer habit, and it’s a very unpleasant habit and I’ve stopped lots of times, and they have got long and elegant; and then something hap- pens to one of them and I give up. FRED: What’s going to happen when you start to have romance in your life and all those nervous little things are go- ing to come along — you’ll be biting your nails even worse. HAYLEY : My God, they’ll be up to my elbows. I’d better stop right now. No place to live FRED: How did you like Hollywood? HAYLEY : I liked it very much. I don’t want to live there, though, I don’t think, because it’s very, very filmy, you see; everyone’s filmy. And it’s so lovely to go there for just a little while, then go home. FRED: What was it you didn’t like about Hollywood? HAYLEY: Well, a certain amount of unreality about it. I didn’t like to live with it all the time; it’s too much glitter and everything. FRED: You like the American guys? HAYLEY : I think they’re very nice, yes. FRED: Any kind of comparison you want to make with the English fellows? HAYLEY : No, I can’t make any com- parison. FRED: What do you want for yourself; or is it too soon to say? HAYLEY : Man-wise — oh, I don’t care. FRED: You are not going to be mar- ried for a long time, I guess, are you? HAYLEY : Oh, no. I don’t want to rush into anything, socks and nappies, and things, you know? FRED: Do you have any rules about marrying or not marrying an actor? HAYLEY: Well, you never know who might come along. And if you said, ooh. I am never going to marry an actor, you’d look a bit of a Charlie if you do. FRED: Well, you are probably the most talked about teenager in the world today. Does that weigh heavily on you? HAYLEY : It depends on the talk, but not greatly. FRED: Well, the talk’s very good. That’s been one of the most remarkable things about you, Hayley. How can you be in the limelight so much and be nice and sweet? HAYLEY : Oh, I think this is a rather exaggerated thing about the limelight. I mean, there’s not an awful lot of limelight. Perhaps at premieres and the pictures and the people; that’s all exciting. But the ac- tual work, like today: it’s just work; it’s just the work I happen to do instead of going to an office and being a secretary or in a shop, you know? But, anyway, I think that because of Mommy and Daddy I just lead a perfectly normal life. FRED: How do they do it? HAYLEY: Well, just by not putting any emphasis on things that would make one feel different. This is just my job, like any other person’s job, you know? And also I think it’s because I’ve been brought up with it, ever since I was a baby; it’s been in the family. So it’s sort of natural that I should do it. But I don’t think it’s anything to get big-headed about. The real and unreal world FRED : What about this business of some girls not being able to cope with the unreal world of acting and movies, and they get to believe that this is the real world? HAYLEY : Ah, well you see that’s where Mommy and Daddy have been so clever, because there’s never been two worlds. This is just where I come and work. Home is the real world. I’ve never thought of it in relation of two different worlds. It’s all one world; it’s my world; the way I live — it’s all just one world. When I go home, I’m normal, and I have supper and I relax in the evening. I have left school now, but I’d go to school, come back for the holidays, go to the farm, ride around on the farm, and I knew in the back of my mind that when the time came I’d go to the studios and work. So it was just quite normal, like going back to an office. FRED: The real world is those horses This is how a Fred Robbins Tape-to-Type is born. Here, Fred interviews the new, grown-up Hayley Mills on the set of her forthcoming movie, “The Chalk Garden 90 you have always loved so, Hayley, isn’t it? HAYLEY: Yes, but I’ll tell you some- thing about them. They’ve gone now; that’s what’s so sad. FRED : I know, you sold the farm. And the horses go along with the farm, don’t they? HAYLEY : Except we didn’t leave the horsef to chance; we sent them back to where we got them; we know they’ll be looked after. But I’m not going to be parted from horses, because when we go back to Richmond where we were origi- nally, there’s a marvelous livery stable, and it has beautiful polo ponies. FRED: Jonathan’s the kid brother. How do you get along with him? HAYLEY: Very well. Oh, we used to hate each other, used to fight a lot. But he’s grown up now and maybe I’ve grown up, one of the two — I think we both have. And now we’re very good friends. We were always friendly, but you know how brothers and sisters fight? We used to. FRED: What does he say about your work, Hayley? HAYLEY : Well, when he sees a film, or something, well, he says what he thinks. If he likes it or he doesn’t, he’s a very good critic. FRED: Does Jonathan want to be an actor? HAYLEY : Oh, well, I don’t want to say definitely yes or no, because I don’t know, really. It’s entirely up to him; he’s undecided, shall I say. I expect he’ll do something in the business, to do with theater or films, but in what sort of level I have no idea, because he doesn’t know. Ladder in her stocking FRED: How far do you want to go as an actress, Hayley? HAYLEY : I don’t know, really. Well, I’d like to eventually — oh, my, I’ve got a ladder in my stocking. FRED: A ladder. We call it a run. HAYLEY : A run, a run. Oh, yes. If ever I feel I might be able to tackle it. I’d love to try holding a spear or some- thing in the theater, or opening a door, or anything, just to try it, you know, be- cause it must be some marvelous magic thing. I remember when Daddy was in New York doing “Ross.” We used to be in the wings all the time. We sat there in this pitch-dark theater while he was rehearsing. And there is something so ex- citing about it, even more so than the films. And so I’d love to try that one day. FRED: Do you go out on dates a lot? HAYLEY : No, not a lot, because I work a lot, and we seem to travel a lot. Lately, we have traveled a terrific lot. FRED: When you go out on dates, do you double-date, or do you go out with one fellow? HAYLEY : I like going out with a lot of people, actually. You know, real friends. I prefer to go out with a group. It’s more fun, really. FRED: How old are the fellows that you go with? HAYLEY : Sort of seventeen-eighteen- nineteen, that sort of age. FRED: What do you do on a date? HAYLEY : Oh, it depends upon the per- son I’m going out with. To a movie, it could be, or some place to dance, maybe, or dinner, maybe. In England one can’t go to a drive-in or the beach, you know. FRED: Did you like that California rou- tine of being able to go to drive-ins and the beach? HAYLEY : Yes, it’s rather dig-worthy. FRED: Dig- worthy? That’s a new word. HAYLEY: It is? FRED: Well, dig of course we know. But dig-worthy is marvelous. It makes sense. Dig-worthy. Great. I dig that. HAYLEY: Oh, you do? Very good. You take your heaven and hell FRED: So. here you are, on top of the world. Can you philosophize about it? HAYLEY: Philosophize? I don’t know. I know I’m very happy. I’m very happy, and I think life really does depend an awful lot on how you treat it and what you make of it. You know, you take your heaven and your hell with you, and all that sort of stuff. And I think it’s a most marvelous life, this film life, you know, as long as you keep your head and don't get sort of carried off in the excitement. FRED: Does it frighten you: the big career that faces you? HAYLEY : I think it excites me more than frightens me. But there’s a certain amount of fear in it. It is a sort of respect- ful fear, like God. Oh, gosh, that’s rather a silly thing to say. But you know what I mean? It’s a feeling of sort of waiting, sort of holding your breath. But I think seventeen’s such a big jump from sixteen. It sounds more when you say “I’m seven- teen” than saying “I’m sixteen.” So I sup- pose I had better start pulling myself to- gether and grow up a little. FRED: About “the Chalk Garden” and the part you play — you play a miserable spoiled brat, don’t you? HAYLEY : Yes, really. But she has a heart of gold, you see. She’s only spoilt because she thinks nobody loves her, that’s the only reason. FRED: That is the big moral in “The Chalk Garden”— that you need love in your life? HAYLEY : Yes. Oh, I’m so excited about this film, to be working with Daddy and Deborah Kerr and Dame Edith Evans. And oh, so much to learn from them. FRED: They learn a lot from you, too. You know, they are very impressed with you, Hayley. They told me that you were a marvelous new talent, and it’s ex- citing to work with you. HAYLEY : Well, it’s marvelous to be working with them. And it’s also so much fun to be doing it with Daddy again, be- cause I haven’t worked with him since I was twelve; the first thing I ever did. And then I didn’t appreciate it. you know, and I didn’t know what I was doing. I just ate sweets and fell down and made a bit of a nuisance of myself. I didn’t really know what was going on. I just said the lines and went, you know. And now I really can appreciate it, because lie’s such a marvelous actor. Working with Daddy — it’s sort of like playing tennis against somebody, instead of just hitting them into a. hedge where they sort of go in, you know. You have to want to FRED: Tell me what girls and boys who write to you want to know? HAYLEY : Oh, they want to know what I like, what sort of horses, that sort of things. And they want pictures.

HAYLEY: Well, the ones I read, the special ones, sometimes I answer. And I always try to answer presents. FRED: Do a lot of them want to be actresses, too? HAYLEY: Yes. FRED: What do you advise them? HAYLEY : Well, I tell them they really have to want to act. Don’t start unless you really want to act. FRED: Your entrance into adulthood is causing lots of publicity and magazine stories about you. HAYLEY: Well, it had to come. I had to grow up. I have still got a long way to go, though, I think. FRED: Are you afraid of growing up? HAYLEY: Afraid? Uh. well, I suppose a little, because I’m longing to save time, you know. FRED: Hayley, dear, how does your dad feel about your becoming a full-fledged actress? HAYLEY : He’s the nicest, most wonder- ful person about it. He really is — you know. If it wasn’t for him I wouldn’t be anywhere or anything. FRED: What has he taught you about acting? HAYLEY : Everything, really. I suppose one knows the sort of things like open your mouth and shut your mouth and smile, you know. But he’s always there, always sort of helping you. He’s marvelous, he really is. He’s so generous — FRED: Has he ever actually sat down with you and taught you acting, or is it inherited? HAYLEY : Well, I have grown up with it; perhaps it’s sort of rubbed off. I think everyone has it. if they just know how to use it. Sounds terribly accomplished. doesn’t it? . . . Anyhow, lie’s just won- derful. FRED: What kind of advice has your father given you, Hayley, that you think could be helpful to others? HAYLEY : He’s given me a lot of ad- vice all through my life. He always said, whatever happens, try to be very sincere, be real. And he’s really the most ordinary person you could meet anywhere. I think that’s terribly important. Otherwise, you lose everything. FRED: You are a very normal girl. It’s a very healthy thing. I wish you the best, and many happy returns, Hayley Mills. — The End You can see Hayley in “The Chalk Gar- den,” U-I; “Summer Magic,” Buena Vista. Fred’s “Assignment Hollywood” is heard on coast-to-coast radio. In the New York area, you can hear “Robbin’s Nest,” over station WNEW, Sundays 8 to 12 P.M. Continued from page 35 good deal of dignity. He is also a man seeking emotional security, a man with emotional warmth and conviviality, a charming lover on-screen and an even more ardent one off-screen. A man who has everything and nothing. A lonely man. And if you don’t think it possible for a top movie star to be lonely, you should visit some of these beautiful people in their beautiful houses. Picture this: a mature man who has romanced many women but a man whom love has always eluded; a man who is supposedly in love with twenty-one-year-old, talented, bright Yvette Mimieux. Yvette who is, of course, married, has been since she was seventeen, and who, to date, has made no motion to change her marital status. Nor, further- more, does she have any notion of becom- ing Mrs. Glenn Ford. Yvette’s faceless wonder I doubt if Glenn has ever met Evan Harland Engber who married Yvette on December 19, 1959. Very few people in Hollywood have. To the press, he is a faceless wonder never photographed, and to whom Yvette has never admitted being married, although I understand it was a radiant girl who said her vows to the Reverend Stephen V. Frichtman, Unitarian minister in Glendale. Yvette has men- tioned Evan’s name only once — shortly be- fore her marriage she did an interview with Louella Parsons. When Louella in- ferred that she was so very, very young and had probably never been in love, Yvette said, “Oh, I have a boy friend.” After some coaxing she named him, explaining, “He’s a student at USC. I like him so much because he’s studying psychology P which I’m interested in and he’s brilliant. He always talks sense, not the silly chat- ter most young men talk today.” He was in the graduate dental school and fellow students who knew him then agree that he was brilliant and charming. But that was the end of public knowl- edge of Evan. She married him and started her climb to stardom in films with a publicity campaign based on silence. “I don’t want to sound mystical, hut you have to reserve a part of yourself. Otherwise, you give too much of yourself away and what’s left is just surface. One door leads to another, and you have to decide where you’re going to close doors. Open too many and there’s nothing left behind where you can hide, where you can live.” However, it has become increasingly ap- parent to Hollywood that the door to the little clapboard house she rents in Beverly Hills is less and less frequented by her phantom husband. Glenn spent one Satur- day helping her paint the place. Glenn, Charles Boyer and Lee Cobb have all been known to drop by for a game of chess, and Yvette’s appearances about town are either solo or in the company of married friends. A divorce has been rumored, but it was assumed that if and when that occurred it would be veiled in the same silence and anonymity as the marriage. But the recent rash of publicity as Glenn’s inamorata would make this considerably more diffi- cult. Understandably, the headlines have angered the pale beauty no little. How can a dignified man with Glenn’s know-how get himself in such a romantic mess? Well, it was comparatively easy. . . . Friends brought Linda Christian to a gala party at Glenn’s house, after which he had four dates with her — dates inter- spersed, of course, with Glenn’s usual round of social activities. He was seeing a great deal of Hope Lange, took Rita Hayworth to the preview of “The Court- ship of Eddie’s Father,” recently enjoyed the Caribbean in the frequent company of much divorced Rhonda Fleming, has par- ties at his own home and everyone comes — from Angie Dickinson and Barbara Stan- wyck to former wife Eleanor Powell who has become Glenn’s close and dear friend. At any rate, five dates later, Linda sug- gested he come to dinner at her house and he did. They had cocktails, then dined on a dish made by the lady’s own hands. That was the night Linda called colum- nist Harrison Carroll and announced the engagement, then handed the phone to her prospective “bridegroom” and let him chat with Harrison. Glenn now insists the whole thing was just a little gag. Why Connie’s mad A few nights later, Connie Stevens had dinner at Glenn’s. It was a charming eve- ning, a foursome. One of the four must have mentioned the occasion to someone who relayed it to someone else because that item broke in the columns, too, complete with the menu. Glenn was furious. He had always valued Connie’s reticence in his behalf when they were dating. Now it seemed that she had betrayed him, that he was being hounded from every corner when actually, he was marking time, waiting for the most important moment of his life. The Welchman Ford lost his temper. He who dislikes personal publicity con- tacted Louella Parsons and told her the truth: (1) that nothing bugs him more than young ladies who accept his atten- tions and then run to the nearest columnist and (2) that he was really, seriously in- terested in someone but was not free to say whom. In two or three months, he’d have, he hoped, an announcement. . . . When it ran in the paper it read, “Your eyebrows would fly off your face if you knew the blond actress Glenn Ford was really interested in, and I don’t mean his good friend Hope Lange.” That started it! Her name sprang up in columns everywhere, putting the lovely Yvette in a most embarrassing situation. She chooses to have the door firmly closed on her personal life. She has not made a gesture toward divorcing Evan. The press assumed she’d be flying to Mexico for a quickie. Perhaps Glenn also assumed. And perhaps she will. But at the moment she won’t answer his phone calls. Without meaning to, Glenn had opened that door. And Yvette, who looks as delicate as a fairy tale princess and as bland, is, in reality, a strong-willed girl, an ambitious girl who feels it her destiny to be a star. As a child she was aloof and self-conscious because she had to wear the same dress to school every day. “I locked doors on the world then,” she admits. “I shouldn’t say I don’t believe in people, but let’s say there were so few things I believed in as a child. I was disillusioned, unillusioned, by the time I was in third grade. I was in a parochial school where the other children wore such nice clothes and for me this was impossible at the time. Then to make matters worse, I didn’t at- tend church or Sunday School. It was mentioned — by our teachers. I felt differ- ent, held up to criticism and ridicule. Maybe I felt it more than it was. I hated school and when I insisted I be sent to public school, I hated it, too. I never knew my classmates at Vine Street or Holly- wood High. I was lonely and bitter and hurt. To compensate and get the right kind of attention, I invented lies, a whole net- work of fantastic stories, how I was going to be in the Christmas parade down Holly- wood Boulevard, how I owned a red and white polka dot bikini — one I’d seen in a magazine on a girl whom all eyes turned to follow. The lies only isolated me more.” But that didn’t keep her from knowing what she had to offer and a determination to offer it. Some fifteen-year-olds are too shy to try. Yvette’s self-consciousness took a different twist. She entered contests, got jobs modeling, became Miss Harbor Day, at fifteen, the Los Angeles Art Direc- tors’ Queen and the L.A. Boat Show Queen at sixteen, National Electric Week Queen at seventeen. When personal manager Jim Byron “discovered” her and suggested she try for a film career — she was fifteen then — - she didn’t hesitate more than a moment, although her parents knew perfectly well the treacherous possibilities of film work, her dad, an emigree from France had knocked himself out in silent pictures and gotten nowhere. They had complete faith, however, in the fact that Yvette cannot be pressured. Pressured, she’ll withdraw, or worse, buck like a little mule. She knows what she wants and what she wants is to be her self. She is very direct. She didn’t, for example, get along with famed director Vincente Minelli who di- rected “The Four Horsemen.” His shout- ing and impatience made her give a poor performance, she says. So, what she did was — she retreated from Minelli into her own world, giving him a perpetually blank look. Glenn to Yvette's rescue “In Paris, Glenn was so good to me . . . he really knows the city ... he walked us all over Paris, all the wonderful little out of the way places.” At a party one night for Jean and Dick Brooks, Brigitte Bar- dot’s ex-husband kept hovering over her. Yvette couldn’t escape and Glenn came to the rescue. “I want you to meet my wife,” he told Vadim. To which Vadim merely shrugged and addressing Yvette, said, “Fort have a very jealous husband.” It was all a joke then. Yvette was nine- teen. But so sexy in her own subtle, dainty way. And of course, she and Glenn be- came friends. Glenn has the capacity for friendship, fairly unusual in a business where egos conflict and players are jealous of their image, their billing, their best profile, and every close-up. Despite his recent feminine fluctuations, Hope Lange continues to be his devoted friend, even though she dates other men than Glenn these days . . . Brigitte Bardot sends him a bottle of champagne every month . . . ex-wife Ellie still watches over him to be sure his shirts are done correctly and his kitchen is well stocked . . . and up until the present skirmish over column-tattling, Connie has been one of his most devoted admirers. But Glenn is looking for neither admira- tion nor mothering. He’s had both. He’s looking for love. He was a kid who fell in love first when he was in grade school and was elected to impersonate John Gilbert opposite his be- loved's Mae Murray at the school carnival. Only one rub — Glenn didn’t know how to dance, and after the first rehearsal was re- placed by a freckle-faced rival. He was a sensitive and self-conscious kid who wasn’t part of any gang in high school and wasn’t any social sensation, worked at a dozen odd jobs to earn a buck and dreamed of the theater hut al- ways of character parts, old men, people so different that being them was living an- other life. He fell in love with the girl who played the lead opposite him in his first romantic part. “I had a tremendous foun- dation for first love — marvelous parents, a stable home life. And when you play a character in love, you must have convic- tion, you can’t drop the role after re- hearsal. I’ve always had a bone to pick with actors who say they can throw it off. No good actor can.” He doesn’t. That’s why he has such close ties to the ladies he’s worked with, why they have remained such friends. Mostly. He loves his work, hut it’s no fun unless there's someone to share it with. He’s always looking ... “I wasn’t meant to be a bachelor. I want a shared life, the kind of life any man wants, expects and hopes for.” He wants romance. He was the kid M-G-M first turned down with a curt, “Well, you’re no pretty boy, are you?” And who, for his first movie test at Fox, was saddled with so much “cor- rective make-up,” he was too miserable to act. Even the agent who believed in him finally said, “I can’t do a thing for you. Try radio or the stage where looks don’t matter.” He’d been rejected by every studio in town. When he finally made a picture the Harvard Lampoon called him “the newcomer least likely.” Glenn, of all the stars in this business, probably worked the hardest to get started, hanging great plate glass windows, in- stalling weather stripping, shingling roofs . . . and dreaming of “completely impos- sible success and travel, the National Geographic variety.” There was no Jim Byron swooping out of the sky in a heli- copter to take over his destiny as he took over Yvette’s. Glenn did it the hard way, joining any show that came West for two weeks in San Francisco, two weeks in Los Angeles, starving on Broadway and finally surviving some of the worst B pictures ever made in a town called Hollywood. Success and confusion He wanted to be a fine actor. He is, to- day, one of the great stars in this business, a man equally facile at comedy and trage- dy and yet not quite sure lie’s made it. He has grown better looking with the years, a handsome man who makes $300,000 a pic- ture, and has his pick of pictures. The world he dreamed of traveling is his oyster. But emotionally, this is a confused man, a man reaching out for youth to prolong his own, a man who exploded from a pattern DO COSMETICS IRRITATE YOUR SENSITIVE SKIN? 9 DO LIPSTICKS • dry your lips? 9 DO MASCARAS • irritate your eyes? 9 DO DEODORANTS • irritate your skin? 9 DO PERFUMED • COSMETICS cause sneezing, watering eyes?

He’s built a dream house, one of the most distinguished homes in Holly- wood, he entertains beautifully, but it’s a bouse that’s lonely when you’re roaming it alone, and in his effort not to let any of life escape him, Glenn has overlooked the basic rule of the love game. To thine own self be true. Certainly you play the field searching. But once you’ve found, you play for keeps and you don’t keep on playing the field. If he cares for little Mimieux as he has professed to intimates, then why not wait for her? Why jump from Linda Christian to Ann Miller to Hope to Angie to Connie Continued from page 32 towards his countless affairs are a case in point here. Like many a mother, she became very defensive about him. (“Richard is an art- ist,” she would say, “—he can’t be held back. It would be cruel to try to tame him completely, to chain his spirit! He has places to go. don’t you see? And he will only get to those places by being him- self!”) She became, after a while, like the mother who — as Richard’s career began to zoom — was so proud her baby was now taking good and solid first steps that she didn't see the possibility of his legs be- coming so strong and free that, in time, he would use them to run away from her — for good. To a real mother, this is a sad but natural moment, a fact of life, of nature’s way. But to a wife who has been playing mother — it is the tragic moment. As it happened with Richard when he began to work on “Cleopatra” with an actress named Elizabeth Taylor. . . . Sybil’s viewpoint If $40,000,000 have been spent on “Cleo- patra,” the film — 40,000.000 words, at least, have been written about the Burton- Taylor affair, which began shortly after the film got underway. Sybil, in the few interviews she has given to columnists and reporters, has maintained that she barely read a word of all this — at first. And this, strangely enough, is true. Liz, to Sybil, was not the most beauti- ful woman in the world, the most all- consuming man-eater of our time, the femme fatale extraordinary, the girl who had everything — and who always wanted more. But rather, to Sybil, Liz was an actress with whom her husband happened to be working, and spending the greater part of his day. She was the leading lady with whom temporarily, like others before her, he would fall in love . . . and then, fall out of love, as soon as the play-acting to Hope to Rhoda Fleming? Or if you want companionship, then keep it strictly that. To jeopardize love by playing at romance is adolescent sport and Glenn is infinitely superior to this. As it is now, after years of the most decorous public relations, he’s at the prey of anyone seeking publicity. Linda says he betrayed her . . . friends of Yvette’s feel he betrayed her . . . the fact is he’s be- trayed only one human being, the one he possesses and doesn’t entirely believe in — himself. — Laura Bascombe See Glenn in his M-G-M film, “The Court- ship Of Eddie’s Father.” Yvette is in United Artists’ film, “Toys in the Attic.” was over. It was only a familiar pattern. Besides — and let’s face it — Sybil was wise enough to the ways of publicity and star-making methods to realize that Rich- ard could only benefit financially from all this. After all. if certain other “actors” — with pretty faces and no talent — could command enormous sums for picture- making. just because they were images and publicity-happy sorts, why shouldn’t her husband — with his not-exactly pretty face but with his fantastic talent — reap the same financial benefits now that it was all at his fingertips? Thanks — yes, thanks — to Elizabeth Taylor. But when, suddenly, the publicity grew out of hand — and Sybil would open her morning edition of 11 Messagero and see those pictures of Liz and Richard smooch- ing, off the set; when she began to hear from close friends that Richard and Liz had taken an apartment in mid-Rome, that December of 1961, where they would meet after the director had called his final “cut!” for the day; when Eddie Fisher, poor Eddie, flew to New York one day, suddenly, and announced — after a short and mysterious stay in a private hos- pital— that he was through with Liz, that she had put him through hell . . . then, and only then, did Sybil begin to feel that this was different now. That things had changed suddenly. That the pattern, so steadfast in the past, had gone askew now. That she had met her match in Liz Taylor. That her husband was on his way to leaving her for another woman. For a while, she said nothing to Richard about this. “It will end, it must end,” she thought. “Prettier mornings — they are not far away.” But as time passed — and production ended on “Cleopatra” — and when Richard, who had told a reporter, “Immediately after this film I will make another, on the Riviera probably, and the entire pro- duction will amount to approximately what Miss Taylor earns in a week!” — when Richard suddenly seemed to forget about the Riviera and his low-budget picture but flew off to London — with “Miss Taylor,” to begin work with her, again, in something to be called “V.I.P.s” . . . Sybil Williams Burton knew, in her heart of hearts, that from now on those prettier mornings would be harder and harder to come by. The low time “The most difficult time for me,” she told a Photoplay source recently, “was the now-I-have-him, now-I-don’t period” — referring, obviously, to the four weeks she spent in London last spring, when Richard “dated” both her and Liz, and when a favorite parlor sport among the Mayfair set was to keep count on how many hours Richard spent with whom. In fact, the jokes about the three be- came rampant — not to mention vulgar. Among the biggest joke-makers, surpris- ingly were former “dear” friends of Sybil’s and Richard’s, who now found the situa- tion just too-too amusing and far-out for words. Sybil, however, couldn’t have cared less about all this. Her only concern now was Richard — and whether or not she could bring him to his senses and back to her and their two little daughters. Says our source, “She would speak to him of the family he was preparing to toss aside. Never just of herself. Never — ‘please, at least for the sake of the chil- dren.’ But always Sybil would use the word that to the Welsh, perhaps more than to most other peoples, is so important and emotion-wracked: family. ‘We are a family, Richard,’ she would say, ‘and that is the way we must remain!’ “But,” our source goes on, “it was no use. While Sybil was pleading, Liz was in her suite at the Dorchester — alone — and fuming. And when Burton would re- turn to her, she’d say things. And it was when she said those fateful words — ‘Marry me, or I’ll die!’ — that it became clear which of the two women would be victori- ous in laying claim to Richard Burton!” Victory, however, can be a very some- times thing. As we know, Sybil finally acquiesced to Liz’ demands. One night, without fan- fare, she signed the separation papers drawn up by the London lawyers; the fol- lowing morning she and her two daughters boarded a jet for New York, as good an “exile” site as any other. On her arrival in New York, interest- ingly, one reporter noted that “Sybil wore a chic suit and a wan smile, and she carried a large and handsome alligator purse.” What he didn’t note, however, was that she also carried a plan with her, tucked j somewhere behind the wan smile — a plan, without malice, without legal complica- tions, but with giant-sized scoops of irony. A plan that would eventually ruin the woman who had set out to ruin her. Step one Like all good plans, Sybil’s is a simple one. For a while — for as long as she can — she will hold back from giving Richard his divorce. After all, that $1,500,000 (and she could have held out for $5,000,000 if she’d wanted to) did achieve a legal sep- aration— a removal of the wife from the scene — but nothing could force Sybil to divorce her husband. Meanwhile, Liz and Richard would be kept guessing, feeding on hope without hope. And meanwhile, hopefully, Richard might well begin to grow tired of Liz. And come back home where he belonged. This part of the plan is based on Sybil’s deep-felt belief that, “I’ll have Richard back some day.” She knows, for one thing, that Liz and Richard have begun to fight constantly — - in their suites at the Dorchester, in res- taurants, in theater lobbies, practically everywhere. She knows, for another thing, that Rich- ard feels guilty about the whole situation — witness his recent quote to a magazine reporter: “You may be as vicious about me as you like. You will only do me justice.” She knows, too, about Liz’ possessive- ness— how, as one writer put it, “she de- mands twenty-five hours a day of Burton’s time!” — and she, Sybil, just happens to be an expert on how her husband feels about freedom. She feels more than anything that an innate streak of decency in Richard will bring him back to her and his daughters. Sybil’s quiet vengeance here? Liz will then emerge the laughing stock of our time. The love goddess who couldn’t get her man. The glamor-puss with egg all over that puss. The empress without a consort. The loser — this gal who has never lost anything in her entire life — except, maybe, a diamond bracelet or two. However, should this part of the plan fail to work out — should Richard himself decide to sue for divorce, or should additional threats force him to do so — then Sybil shifts easily into part two of her plan. A marriage betwen Liz and Richard, she knows, is bound to end up, let’s say, less than perfect. First of all, it’s as obvious to Sybil as it is to millions of others that the juice of this current “grand passion” between Liz and Burton is based on the element of scandal— the giddiness that comes from shocking the multitudes — the joy that comes from being clandestine — the shivers of delight that come from being so mar- velously and brazenly unorthodox. But turn this all into that most orthodox of situations — marriage; legalize this union, sanction it, take away the kicks — and then what have you got? A very nervous and depressed Liz and Richard. “ — A Liz,” as someone who has known her since her first marriage has told us, “who will wonder why her husband’s eye is beginning to rove, why he isn’t around her as much as he used to be — who will begin to get so annoyed with Husband No. Five that it won’t take her long to begin looking around for the next pros- pect.” “ — A Burton,” as someone who knows him well says, “who will not quite under- stand why Liz is beginning to object to his little flings, why — instead of under- standing him, his nature, his needs — she’s tossing those vases all over the place . . . why, instead of mothering him, she’s toss- ing off phrases that would have any other mother blushing.” In other words, it’s clear that after five or six months of such a marriage — all hell will break loose. That Richard will remember with fondness and longing the halcyon days when he had everything a man could want. And the day he decides he’s had enough of Liz — there will be Sybil, waiting to pick up where they left off. . . .

Eddie Fisher — whose daughter is all he has in the world, but who can never truly be her father — is a lonely man who knows that he must forge, in snatched moments of time, bonds of love strong enough to survive the day when Carrie learns the hard truth: that when he turned his back on her mother, he walked out on her. And there is Harry Karl — who filled the place Eddie vacated. Harry the head-of- the-house, the provider, the everyday fa- ther of a daughter not of his own blood. Harry who cannot help but sense that his hard-earned place in her heart is being threatened by Eddie Fisher’s unsettling presence in young Carrie’s life. Carrie’s tragedy And, of course, there is Debbie Reyn- olds, no contestant for her daughter’s love — for she knows she has that forever — but torn by the hidden conflict that rages about her. Debbie Reynolds who cannot avoid asking herself if, despite the prompt- ings of conscience and generosity, she was wise to allow Eddie Fisher a place in her children’s — and there are two children — lives at all. The children, Carrie and Todd, are too young to sense the danger, too inexperi- enced to know the peril of taking sides, too innocent to understand the complex yearn- ings and agonies of the human heart. Yet this story of the struggle for their love is their story. It could be their tragedy. Eddie loves both his children and longs for them both to love him. But he cannot help but love them differently. His son will one day become a man, will have a wife and a family of his own. He must learn how to take care of himself. But his daugh- | ter will always be his little girl — no matter ! how she grows or how many children she ; might someday have. She has to be protected. She is the something sweet of all his boyhood memories. She is the girl Debbie used to be when Eddie’s love for her was I strongest. In a way, in fact, she is a little 1 bit of every woman he ever loved. And this is the child he is in danger of losing . . . But let us begin by saying that it is a battle — and a strange one — no blows have been struck, no angry words as yet ex- changed. Indeed. Eddie and Harry are not basically fighters at all; neither has a taste for conflict. For two years they have ac-. tually joined with Debbie in doing every- thing possible to avoid a struggle. Harry has taken great pains never to intrude upon Eddie’s precious visits with his chil- dren. never to hint to Carrie and Todd that Eddie has ever been anything but the most faithful and loving of fathers. Eddie has never allowed himself to try to enlist Carrie or Todd on his side in any dispute with Debbie and Harry over their upbring- ing— not even when Debbie told him she had decided not to keep her promise to raise Todd in his father’s faith. And yet the struggle is taking place. How can it exist between two men so determined not to fight? Sometimes the crucial skirmishes are fought entirely without their knowledge. Eddie never scolds ' Say, for example, that it is Friday night in the Karl household. Harry comes home (j from his office tired, perhaps irritable. [ Business problems sometimes plague even a successful man. He joins the children at ,| their dinner, and observes that Todd is ,i pushing his vegetables messily around his ( plate, spilling his cup of milk onto the , table. Harry, as he has done a hundred times — as every parent must — scolds the j boy gently. “If you don’t want your food, son, you don't have to eat it — but you know you mustn’t play with it that way.” After supper Harry is a little too weary ^ for a protracted romp with the children. Carrie gets only one story read to her in- stead of two or three. The same thing hap- pens in a million households across the country — fathers have a right to be tired, and children must learn that their own desires cannot always come first. But Ed- die comes to take the children out the next day. And Eddie, for the simple reason that he sees them seldom and only when he can devote himself entirely to them, is never too tired or irritable for them. Eddie has no need to scold ; he acknowledges the fact that discipline is no longer his job. “I’m the ice-cream-and-candy man,” he says — and why not? He isn’t with the children enough to spoil them. But Eddie can lose, too. It can happen on a day when Carrie comes home from an afternoon with her best friend Gregg Champion (Marge and Gower’s little boy ) , i carrying in her small hand a crayoned pic- ture of a cat. She has made it for Eddie, has laboriously scrawled “Love from Car- rie” in big letters across the bottom. A gift of love for her father. But her father is not there. Eddie is working in Las Vegas — it could be three weeks before his schedule allows him another visit with his children. Debbie explains this carefully to Carrie. But children are not content with the logic of adults. Carrie is hurt — Daddy should have been there to receive her offering. That night when Harry comes home, she runs to him. “You’re my daddy, aren’t you?” she cries. Harry has no idea of what happened. “Sure I am, sweetheart,” he says, swinging her up in his arms, kissing her warmly. Soon the picture is tucked away in his briefcase to be taken to the office tomorrow, displayed with the father- ly pride Harry wears like a halo when he talks of his kids. And Carrie goes to bed content, Eddie forgotten. Sometimes a hint of the struggle comes to each man. Eddie, thumbing through a magazine, may come across an article that rehearses, in every sordid detail, the story of his breakup with Debbie, his ill-fated marriage to Elizabeth Taylor. For a moment his blood runs cold. Carrie is six; she can read now. Todd will soon be learning. How long before such stories are thrust upon them by other children, children who can only cuess at how much the truth will 96 hurt? What will Carrie and Todd think of him then? Will they turn from him entire- ly— will he lose their love, their trust? No, he tells himself, of course he wont. They’ll love him. They’ll love him enough to un- derstand. But will they? When was the last time he saw them? Did they really enjoy themselves, or were they only being polite? Do they forget him entirely be- tween visits, resent the fact that he is not there to bandage a cut knee, admire Todd’s skill on roller skates or Carrie’s new dress? Does Harry do such a good job of fathering them that they never think of Eddie — except as a sort of Favorite Un- cle? What man can, with such chilling thoughts racing through his mind, resist the temptation to rush to a telephone, to call his children, to tell them of some spec- tacular plan he has for their next meeting — something that, perhaps, in his secret heart, he hopes Harry never thought of — something so wonderful that the children won’t forget it — or him— for weeks to come. Harry’s fears And Harry, after the children have been with Eddie, cannot always blind himself to the implications of Todd’s glowing face and Carrie’s obvious rapture. What Eddie bought them . . . what Eddie fed them . . . what Eddie said to them ... all this the children pour out to Harry in innocent delight. And that, of course, is how Harry wants it; he would die before letting them guess that he and Eddie are not the clos- est, the best of friends. But he can’t help worrying. He rarely sees his own four chil- dren; he and Debbie lost their first baby, and though they are having another, Car- rie and Todd are still Harry’s family. He loves them, he needs them. And like Eddie, Harry knows that he must forge unbreak- able bonds now between himself and the children. He would be less than human if, after hearing them sing Eddie’s praises, he never thought: There’s that tricycle Todd wants — I was going to wait for his birth- day, but maybe I’ll get it for him now. If I don’t he might ask Eddie for it. And it’s not good for the kids to depend too much on Eddie’s generosity — after all, they do live here, with me — isn’t it better for them to be happy with this arrangement? Natural thoughts. But dangerous ones. It does not take much to subtly alter the atmosphere around a child, and children quickly grasp the possibility of playing off one grownup against another. And when that happens, even though the child feels triumphant at being able to manipulate his elders — the solid basis of his security crumbles before his eyes, leaving him ter- rified by his own power. Harry Karl and Eddie Fisher under- stand this all too well. Each of them has had first-hand experience in a complicated family situation. Eddie himself was raised in a broken home and can remember what it felt like to be torn between a real father and a stepfather. He has played the role of stepfather to Liz Taylor’s two boys, and had to share their love with their real father, Michael Wilding. Harry, separated by divorce from his own children, knows only too well the frustrated longings of a father who has lost his family. It is vastly ironic that Fate should have chosen these two men to be opponents in such a struggle. Is it possible to predict the outcome? Will one man or the other emerge the win- ner? Whose “brand” of love will the chil- dren prefer? At the moment, Eddie has a lot going for him. He is the “ice-cream-and-cake man” and children are known to prefer ice cream and cake to meat and vegetables. There is glamour to Eddie, and mystery and excitement which the children cannot feel for Harry, who has become as familiar to them as the walls of their nursery. In the years ahead, as Carrie and Todd go through the normally turbulent adolescent period, Eddie’s very separateness from their every day existence may bring them closer to him. Eddie’s uncomplicated love for them may seem a kind of peaceful refuge from the conflicts that necessarily occur between adults and growing children. Paddy Santa Claus And yet, in the final analysis, if the chil- dren must ever choose between the two fathers, Harry must inevitably be their choice. For though Eddie is a kind of Santa Claus, a jovial occasional compan- ion, Harry is part of the fabric of their lives; his personality, his virtues — even his faults — are woven into Carrie and Todd’s existence as Eddie’s will never be. Even the matter of discipline, which may now cause the children to resent Harry from time to time, will in the end operate to his advantage. Psychologists tell us that one of childhood’s most basic needs is for someone to draw a line and say, “Past this, you may not go.” The child may rage and storm — but instinctively he knows that dis- cipline is the ultimate sign of love and pro- tection, that without discipline he is lost in the awesome world of adult responsibility. Someday Carrie and Todd will clearly see that in supplying a strong, steady influence in their early years, Harry was fulfilling one of their deepest needs— while Eddie, in his position as an outsider, could only caress the surface of their childish desires. But in this story of human conflict, it is not only the victor who is important — but think of the victims. For the conflict that surrounds Carrie and Todd is fraught with dangers. According to Dr. Tom Noyes (a New York psychotherapist and marriage coun- selor) : “When the relationship between the adults in such cases becomes one of a war for the children’s hearts, the children can become terribly confused and fright- ened. Even simple, innocent-seeming inci- dents can affect their emotional stability. If, for example, the divorced father, in his attempt to win their love, constantly takes them on joy-rides, on exciting excursions which wise parents offer only rarely — -if he brings them into contact with groups of unfamiliar adults 'to whom he proudly shows them off, surrounding them with attention and praise — all this can combine to give the child’s ego a kind of flattery it cannot get elsewhere. His home, the affec- tion of his mother and stepfather can seem dull and unimportant by comparison. Special complications “I have known cases where such over- attention ruined an entire life — where the child grew up unable to be satisfied with the normal ego-gratifications that life pro- vides, and went on seeking what he could never recapture, that magical moment in FRECKLES Do freckles prevent you from being beau- tiful?

When this kind of situation threatens a child’s development, the only hope is that the mother can re- main very strong, very stable, and give the child a normal atmosphere in which to grow.” And if this is the danger in such a situa- tion, how much more complicated does it become when a father feels about a daugh- ter as Eddie does about Carrie? This then is Debbie’s mission: She has to protect her children — especially Carrie. It is made more difficult because Debbie herself has mixed feelings about Eddie and his place in her and her family’s lives. She revealed some of her inner turmoil in her recent book, “If I Knew Then,” when she offered advice to a newly-married wom- an who was troubled about her first husband. “Perhaps” (Debbie wrote) “you have some special feeling toward your former husband because he was your first love. But you must forget that and remember the hurt and humiliation he caused by de- serting you. “He’s a loser. Stick with the winner.” Under these circumstances, it is hard to see how Debbie can fail to occasionally ask herself why she must continue to en- courage her children to see and love Eddie. Wouldn’t it be better if Harry were their only father? Wouldn’t life be easier — and the children’s emotional well-being more secure — if Eddie were out of their lives completely? So far, Debbie has managed to banish such thoughts from her mind. Graciously, compassionately, she has recognized that Eddie is tied to Carrie — and Todd — by more than blood, that he loves and needs them, and deserves a place in their affec- tions. But if the day should ever come when Carrie and Todd are badly hurt, con- fused by conflicting loyalties — Debbie will have to do everything in her power to shield them from further harm, no matter who else is hurt in the process. The Bible tells of a judgment rendered by Solomon, the wisest of kings. Two wom- en came before him, each claiming she was the rightful mother of the same babv. Solomon, unable to learn the truth, com- manded that a sword be brought and the baby divided equally between the two women. One woman quickly agreed. The other cried out — “No, give her the child, but let the baby live!” And Solomon in his wisdom awarded the child to the woman who was willing to sacrifice her role as mother in return for the baby’s life. For Carrie and Todd Fisher, babes also, there is no such simple, clever solution. There is no “right” father for them. For good or evil, there are and will always be two men who claim their hearts — two men who love them as fathers love children, two men whom they must love in return. But whether this double burden of love, given and received, will strengthen or de- stroy them, whether they will end up as pathetic victims of a world they never made, whether Eddie is doomed to lose his daughter . . . Even Solomon, in all his wisdom, could not know. — Leslie Valentine See Debbie in MGM’s “How The West Was Won;” and “My Six Loves,” for Para- mount and “Mary, Mary,” for Warner Brothers.

And what had happened to Charlene Cassini was enough to make anyone weep. Charlene had seemed dazzlingly lucky, at first; she seemed the kind of girl other girls envy. Born in 1927, two years earlier than Jackie, hers had been the same glit- tering world as Jackie Kennedy’s — a world of wealth and privilege, of sleekly groomed women and dashingly handsome men, peo- ple who never had to worry about where their next Rolls Royce was coming from. The world of the super-rich. Truly, if anyone had ever been born to a golden life of wealth and luxury, it was Charlene. Her father was oilman Charles B. Wrightsman, one of the richest men in America and a close friend of Jack Ken- nedy’s father, Joseph P. Kennedy. The two men have mansions near each other on Palm Beach’s North County Road. But the gold began to tarnish a little when Charlene was only ten. Her parents were divorced, and Charlene was sent away to school. She attended the exclusive Fox- croft and Ethel Walker schools, with other rich girls like herself. (Jackie Kennedy, too, would soon see her parents divorced and be sent away to Miss Porter’s school in Farmington, Connecticut.) While Charlene was attending Finch College in New York, her father married again. This time his bride was a beautiful model named Jayne Larkin, who was just two years older than Charlene. Charlene’s own older sister, Irene, had married Fred- die McEvoy, a dashing, wealthy sportsman who was a good friend of Errol Flynn’s. At that time Errol, like other stars, was still fighting World War II — on the War- ner Brothers sound stages in Hollywood. And the man who usually wound up on the other side, as a darkly handsome Nazi with traces of good in his character, was debo- nair young Helmut Dantine. Dantine scored a certain success in Hollywood, but when the need for men to play handsome Nazis petered out, his screen appearances be- came necessarily somewhat less frequent. Married at twenty Eventually Charlene met and fell in love with Helmut. By now, she had blossomed into a strikingly beautiful brunette not too different in appearance from Jackie Ken- nedy. And in 1947, when Charlene was twenty, she and Helmut were married. But once again the gold began to tar- nish. She and Helmut soon began having problems. And even though a son was born to them still the marriage unhappily failed. So they were divorced in 1950. And the divorce wasn’t the “friendly Hollywood kind.” Far from it. Charlene charged that Helmut had married her “only for the money that I expected to receive from my father.” There is no more bitter and humiliating feeling for a woman, particularly a rich woman, than the conviction that someone has married her for her money. And for Charlene, the bitterness did not fade with the passing years. For when she drew up a will years later, she inserted a strict provi- sion that Helmut “should not at any time” be given custody of their son, Dana, who is now fourteen. For a while it looked as though Charlene wanted to turn her back on that “golden life” to which she had been born. Although she had more money than she could possi- bly need, shfe entered a secretarial school in West Palm Beach, attended classes faithfully, and was delighted when she managed to earn excellent marks. Perhaps she was beginning to envy those whose lives were humbler, simpler — and happier — than her own. But soon her old life made its claim on her again — this time through the person of Igor (“Ghighi”) Cassini, to whom society was everything. They met and fell in love, and in 1952 — after Ghighi had been di- vorced from his second wife — they were married. Igor Cassini was the Russian-born son of an authentic Count, and therefore en- titled to call himself a Count as well, until he obtained his U.S. citizenship in 1940. But in spite of his former title, lie was something of a self-made man. After un- successfully trying to make his fortune by selling things like insurance and cold cream from door to door, he got a job writ- ing about society for the “Washington Times-Herald” (with a little help from his mother’s connections), and then became the Hearst papers’ Cholly Knickerbocker, top society columnist in the land, with a claimed readership of twenty million. Some might have called Igor a social snob — particularly those who only knew him through bis television program, “The Igor Cassini Show,” which was on NBC Television from 1952 to 1955 and on Du- mont for a year after that. His smooth manner of speech, his manner of dropping what seemed like whole telephone books of names of the socially elite — all seemed to make his whole TV show a study in snob- bery. But Charlene had a way of seeing only the best in people, particularly the men she fell in love with — even though she might come to regret it later. And there was no denying that Ghighi had charm. Through Ghighi — whose naming of Jack- ie Bouvier as deb of the year had endeared him to Jackie at a time when she was choosing the friends she would carry through life — Charlene, too, became friends with Jackie. And, when Jackie married Jack Kennedy, she became friends with Jack, too. In fact, Jackie’s marriage strengthened the ties between her and Charlene. For it made Jackie a frequent visitor to the Palm Beach home of old Joe Kennedy, a stone’s throw away from the home of Charlene’s father. Jack and Jackie began going to parties at the Wrightsmans’ house, and Jackie became particularly good friends with Charlene’s vivacious young step- mother, Jayne Wrightsman. Ghighi and Charlene were frequently at the Wrights- mans’ house, too, so it was natural that they should become even better friends with the young Kennedys. In the days when Jack was making his name as a Sena- tor, and spending long weeks on the road building his chances for the Presidential nomination, he particularly cherished the brief opportunities he had to relax in Palm Beach with fun-loving people like the Wrightsmans and Cassinis. Jackie and Charlene had much in com- mon besides their upbringing. Both had enjoyed brief flings at being “working girls” — Jackie as an inquiring camera girl with the “Washington Times-Herald,” where Igor had gotten his start, and Char- lene at secretarial school, even though she hadn’t gotten to use her proudly-won abili- ties as a secretary; both were excellent horsewomen; both loved parties and the conversation of bright, witty people; both loved children and were devoted to their own. With Charlene’s stepmother, too, Jackie had much in common. Each had exquisite taste in clothes (Jayne Wrightsman has made the latest best-dressed lists, which of course are topped by the name of Jacque- line Kennedy). And each is interested in antiques (Jayne has assisted Jackie in the redecorating of the White House and gone on antique hunting expeditions with her). The Cassinis were “in” When Jack Kennedy became President j of the United States, he indirectly helped ! enhance the reputation not only of Igor j Cassini but of his brother Oleg, who is Jackie Kennedy’s official dress designer. Oleg found himself with more work than he could handle, designing clothes not only for Jackie but for all the wealthy women who wanted to be able to say that their clothes had come from the First Lady’s dress designer. And Igor was more “in” than ever as a society columnist, thanks to his friendship with the Kennedys. On a number of occasions Charles 1 Wrightsman lent bis Palm Beach mansion to the President and Jackie during their Florida visits. And even when they were , staying with Joe Kennedy, they saw a lot 1 of Igor and Charlene. Often when Jack was , busy on matters of state, the Cassinis would drive up to the door of the Kennedy mansion and Jackie would hop into the car and join them for a relaxing evening on the town. On New Year’s Eve, it was customary for Jack and Jackie to spend the evening at the Wrightsmans’ house, where a gala party was held. And on the eve of New Year’s 1962, Jack Kennedy did something that made the evening forever memorable for Charlene’s stepdaughter. Igor Cassini told about it recently in Good Housekeep- ing magazine. “Jackie Kennedy danced with her hus- band, her host, with me and with most of the other men at the party. Then, at one point, she went over to the President, put her hand on his shoulder and directed his gaze to the terrace. There, standing with her face pressed against the windows of the French doors leading to the living room, stood my thirteen-year-old daughter, Marina. The President, perhaps thinking of Caroline in years to come, smiled at his wife and bent down to whisper a few words lADIES'l *23WEEKLY] WEARING LOVELY DRESSES -w RECEIVED AS EXTRA REWARDS!

She gave him a quick hug and watched him walk outside to where Marina stood. “ ‘Would you,’ the President said cour- teously. ‘care to dance with me, Marina?’ “And inside they went, dancing slowly to the music but chatting away as if this happened every day.” A year later, Marina would need the memory of that magic night to see her through the tragedy that clouded her life. . . . Disaster had already begun to close in on Charlene Cassini, touching not only her life but those of her family — Igor, Marina, Dana, and Alexander, the son of her mar- riage to Igor. First Charlene’s health began to fail. A few years ago, while she was skiing in Vermont, she suffered a painful leg injury that put her on crutches for a while. Even afterward, the leg kept troubling her. Again and again, there was the pain, com- ing when she least expected it. And then, last year, while she was standing on a stool changing a light bulb, her leg buckled un- der her and she went crashing to the floor. Her nose was broken and she suffered a concussion. Her health was never the same again. From that time on, her life was made miserable by blinding headaches. All her money, she found, could not buy her good health. When we are ill, we desperately need to have life be kind to us, if only to give us some measure of consolation for the treach- ery of the body. But just when Charlene needed kindness from life, she got heart- break. It all started because of a public rela- tions firm with which Igor was involved — a firm he had named Martial after the first letters in the names of Marina, Tina (Oleg’s daughter) and Alexander Cassini. In January of this year, the Saturday Eve- ning Post published an article which point- ed out that many of the clients who paid fat fees to Martial got mentioned in Igor’s Cholly Knickerbocker column. But this slap at Igor's journalistic ethics wasn't the most damaging part of the story. What hurt was the fact that the writer traced a series of business and personal connections between Martial and other firms and peo- ple which convinced the writer, at least, that Igor was an unregistered representa- tive of the Dominican Republic. Now, the U.S. Government has strict rules that all foreign agents must register. And, as a matter of fact, Igor was regis- tered with the U.S. Government as a for- eign agent — but for Mexico and Brazil, not for the Dominican Republic. If Igor had failed to register properly, he was liable to a hefty fine and a jail sentence. Up to that point, Igor was only con- fronted with an embarrassing magazine article. But then the roof fell in. Bobby Kennedy’s Justice Department had been investigating Igor, too (there was, of course, no thought of “going easy” on him because of his connections with the Ken- nedy family), and as a result of the Justice Department’s investigations, a federal grand jury indicted Igor on charges of failing to register as an agent of a foreign government. His trial was set for May, and the Hearst papers put him on “leave of P absence” from his column. Along with four other men, Igor was ac- cused of sharing $200,000 paid by the regime of slain dictator Rafael Trujillo. All four had been associated with Martial. Reporters noted publicly that Igor had accompanied former Under Secretary of State Robert D. Murphy to the Dominican Republic six weeks before Trujillo was assassinated in 1961. This visit was made at the request of the White House after Igor had “warned” U.S. officials at his father-in-law’s house that the Communists were plotting to overthrow Trujillo. (His actual killers were disgruntled military men of his own country.) And it was also noted by reporters that Igor had mentioned Trujillo and his country very favorably in his widely-read newspaper column. Pain and embarrassment To Charlene, not only were these charges against her husband painful — she must have also been embarrassed for Jack and Jackie Kennedy, who were her friends. What was worse, friends watching the situation became convinced that Charlene’s father, Charles Wrightsman, at whose home Igor had “warned” Government offi- cials about Trujillo’s “enemies,” was more than embarrassed. The friends believed that Wrightsman’s attitude toward both Igor and Charlene cooled considerably after the public charges. And so Charlene found herself an em- barrassment to her friends in the White House and, apparently, an embarrassment to her father as well. To a sensitive young woman who gave her love and friendship generously, and who asked only that these be returned to her in some measure, it was a cruel blow. Loyally, she stood by her husband, but her heart was heavy with shame and grief. She could only be grateful that Jackie Kennedy gave no signs of turning against her old friend despite what Bobby Kennedy had had to do. But at the same time, Jackie’s loyalty made Charlene’s embarrassment even more piercing. Then came one more blow — a blow of the kind that can affect the mind with peculiar cruelty when it is already reeling from other misfortunes. A close friend of Charlene’s, thirty-five-year-old Peter Estin, a Vermont ski instructor, was found dead in a New York hotel room of what the coroner described as “visceral conges- tion.” One of the causes of “visceral con- gestion” is the consumption of a deadly amount of sleeping pills. His funeral was set for April 8th. Charlene didn’t go to the funeral, which FIGHT CANCER WITH A CHECKUP AND A CHECK AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY was held in Boston. But Igor did — and, ironically, he flew in the private plane of George Skakel, who is Bobby Kennedy’s brother-in-law. Igor returned that evening to the apartment he and Charlene shared at 944 Fifth Avenue, across from Central Park. For he and Charlene were scheduled to attend a dinner party, and Igor didn’t want to disappoint their hosts. But Charlene didn’t feel up to it — she gave a toothache as the reason. So Igor went on alone, and Charlene and her step- daughter Marina began watching the Academy Awards on a TV set in Char- lene’s bedroom. Charlene had been having trouble sleep- ing lately, and had been under a psychia- trist’s care. Her father and stepmother, realizing how hard Charlene was taking it all, had come up to New York to be with her despite any feelings Charles Wrights- man may have had against Igor. And that very day they had spent several hours try- ing to talk Charlene out of her depression. But she was inconsolable. That evening she had sent Marina out to the drugstore to get her a new bottle of sleeping pills which the doctor had pre- scribed. And now, with the Academy Awards program starting, Charlene got up from her bed and went into the bathroom. Then she returned and lay down on the bed again, as Marina sat nearby, absorbed in the show. Marina watched the Awards through to the very end. Then she turned around and looked at Charlene — and saw immediately that something was very wrong. Terrified, she called the doctor. Igor arrived home just in time to accom- pany Charlene to the hospital. By now she was unconscious. And as doctors at the hospital fought to save her life, the sleep- ing pill bottle lay empty in the Cassini apartment. Earlier that evening it had held thirty pills. All through the long night the physi- cians worked over Charlene’s still, silent body. But it was too late. By morning she was gone. A girl who had been born to the beautiful, golden life of the rich had watched that life turn black and ugly be- fore her eyes. She had seen the men she loved bring her unhappiness; seen herself become an embarrassment to her friends; seen herself destined to spend her days in a sleepless agony of blinding headaches and heartsick humiliation. In the end, it had been too much to take. All she could do was hope that her friends would remem- ber her kindly. . . . In the White House flower garden, on the day of Charlene’s death, Jackie Ken- nedy did remember — she remembered, and tried to hold back the tears. Tears of heart- break for a friend who had died too young. No, she mustn’t cry any more. There were too many people watching, and it was an important occasion of state. Tears were a luxury that no First Lady could afford in public. It was important to think of other things. Surely, even today, there must be some- thing to be happy about. . . . And of course there was. Stirring within her was a won- derful secret of her own, a secret the whole world would soon come to share — the se- cret of a new life, with all the hope that new life brings. Yes, better to think of that, and to look to the future. For the recent past was- too sad to bear. — James Gregory TRESemme won’t tell if you don’t 5 conditioners borrowed from Alberto y 05 give TRESemme colors bright as life... and just as natural Some hair colorings dry out the hair, make it dull.

Written lor Ihe screen and produced by JOSEPH LANOON OlMUN UMl\LAIlU Directedty RICHARD WILSON • Presented by WARNER BROS. 7 The editors of Photoplay Magazine present its Gold Medal for excellence to Universal-Inter- national’s production of “The Thrill Of It All.” Positively the most hilarious of Doris Day’s love comedies, this laugh-loaded romp hands her a new co-star, personable James Garner, and a new problem. She doesn’t have to fend a guy off without losing him; here, she’s already got him. But can she hang on to husband Jim, a success- ful obstetrician, after she suddenly becomes a TV-commercial queen? The humor is fast and furious, ranging from wicked satire to rollicking slapstick. Sets and clothes? Lush, of course! Nothing but the best.

NEW “Lather Once!’ Lustre -Creme9Shampoo GO OUT TO A MOVIE by JANET GRAVES PT 109 Warners; Panavision, Technicolor; Director, Leslie H. Martinson; Producer, Bryan Foy (Family) who’s in it? Cliff Robertson, Ty Har- din. James Gregory. Grant Williams. what’s it about? A shipwrecked U.S. Navy crew in War II is led toward sur- vival by the young President-to-be. what’s thk verdict? As a true record of collective heroism, it’s handled in the only way possible: simply, briskly, re- lying on the built-in suspense of a sea- going action tale. Cliff gives a highly agreeable performance, avoiding the bad taste of impersonation; but his age seems closer to JFK's in 1963 than in 1943. THE L-SHAPED ROOM Davis-Royal, Columbia; Director, Bryan Forbes; Producers, James Woolf, Richard Attenborough (Adult) who’s in it? Leslie Caron. Tom Bell, Cicely Courtneidge. Brock Peters. what’s it about? Alone and in trouble in London, a French girl is befriended by her rooming-house neighbors. what’s the vkkdict ? Out of grubby sur- roundings, shown with great realism that’s touched with humor, arises a gentle, wistful film, romantic without be- ing quite sentimental. Leslie is at her best, far outdistancing her “Lili” or “Gigi” in maturity and depth; and the other players really fill the screen. COME BLOW YOUR HORN Paramount; Panavision. Technicolor; Director, Hud Yorkin; Producers, Norman Lear, Hud Yorkin (Adult) who’s in it? Frank Sinatra, Lee J. Cobb, Tony Bill. Jill St. John. what’s it about? A New Yorker’s care- free life is complicated when his kid brother shares his bachelor quarters. what’s the verdict? This cheerful fam- ily comedy comes up with enough laughs and sprightly personalities, in spite of the creaky conventions of an old-style stage farce. Frank wakes up a bit from his recent movie coma; Cobb and Molly Picon and wacky Jill do amusing carica- tures; youthful Tony has a lively debut. IRMA LA DOUCE I .A.; Panavision, Technicolor; Producer Director, Hilly Wilder (Adult) who’s in it? Shirley MacLaine, Jack Lemmon, Lou Jacobi. Herschel Bernardi. what’s it about? Love and the two old- est professions don’t mix very well for an ex-gendarme and a Parisian floozy. what’s the verdict? Happily outra- geous, it makes a long joke out of a topsy- turvy moral code and comic hash out of a couple of old plots. Both story angles gen- erously display Shirley’s skill (plus a lot of Shirley!) and Jack’s versatility as a clown. Not a musical, it uses the stage-show tunes as a background score. 8V2 Kmbassy ; Director, Federico Fellini; Producer. An- gelo Rizzoli; Italian Dialogue, English Titles (Adult) who’s in it? Marcello Mastroianni, Anouk Aimee, Claudia Cardinale. what’s it about? Trying to get a film started, a director moves in dream and memory between his past and present. what’s the verdict? Fellini (who has directed 71/} movies before this — hence the odd title) challenges us to stay alert as he plunges boldly, subtly, into the confusion inside an artist’s mind. Till observer in “La Dolce Vita,” Marcello is now the man involved, so his acting has a wider range.

It’s just a mild lather— and minutes later it gets rinsed off. “Sparkling Color” comes in 7 sparkling shades.

Kolya Burlaiev, Valentin Zubkov, Ye. Zharikov, V. Malyavina. what’s it about? A Russian war orphan, only 12, insists on crossing front lines as an army scout, for revenge on Nazis. what’s the verdict? Unequaled camera poetry takes the edge off the horror in this story of a murdered childhood. As the young-old hero, Kolya is heartbreak- ing both in the nightmare he lives and the sunny past he dreams about. Humor and sex are tossed in by good-looking Zubkov, a very un-Soviet type. TOYS IN THE ATTIC U.A.; Panavision; Director, George Roy Hill; Pro- ducer, Walter Mirisch (Adult) who’s in it? Dean Martin, Geraldine Page, Wendy Hiller, Yvette Mimieux. what’s it about? Once a ne’er-do-well, a Southerner seeking fortune and married bliss is blocked by a too-loving sister. what’s the verdict? In spite of a prom- ising cast, it’s strangled by useless plot and character complications. Dean is ef- fective in his first serious role, but Ger- aldine is too theatrical. Only Wendy manages to bring the picture to life every time she enters the scene, with her fine calm and subdued intensity. She’s great. IN THE FRENCH STYLE Columbia; Director, Robert Parrisb, Producers, Irwin Shaw, Robert Parrish (Adult) who’s in it? Jean Seberg, Stanley Baker, Addison Powell. Philippe Forquet. what’s it about? An American girl who goes to Paris to study art stays on and nearly loses her way in aimless affairs. what’s the verdict? The familiar theme of the innocent abroad takes a refresh- ing new twist here, with a story of con- siderable charm and compassion (and more interest in people than in pictur- esque settings). Awkward when she’s trying to seem very young, Jean rises to greater poise and remarkable new beauty. GREENWICH VILLAGE STORY Shawn International; Producer-Director, Jack O’Connell (Adult) who’s in it? Melinda Plank, Robert Hogan, Tani Seitz, James Frawley. what’s it about? Young lovers aiming for careers in the arts are estranged by the boy’s wariness of marriage. what’s the verdict? Another corner of modern Bohemia — in the New York style — is explored by a group of young peo- ple new to movie-making. Their enthusi- asm often gives sparkle to a flat story with a weak ending. Robert’s voice re- veals he has little acting experience; Melinda, with none at all, is more at ease. THIS SPORTING LIFE Continental; Director, Lindsay Anderson; Produc er, Karel Reisz (Adult) who’s in it? Richard Harris, Rachel Roberts, Alan Badel, Vanda Godsell. what’s it about? Successful as a pro rugby player, a tough Briton fails to reach understanding with his beloved. what’s the verdict? If you think gen- teel cricket is England’s typical sport, you’ll he surprised at the roughneck ver- sion of football exposed in this well- made, ingenious film. The acting is pow- erful, though Richard’s sorehead hero is a British-movie stereotype, and the grim- ness of Rachel’s role reduces sympathy. KING KONG VS. GODZILLA U-I; Color; Directors, Inoshiro Honda, Thomas Montgomery; Producer, John Beck (Family) who’s in it? Ichiro Arishima, Yu Fujiki, Tadao Takashima, Mie Hama. what’s it about? Japan’s fate is de- termined by a running battle between a giant gorilla and a giant reptile. what’s the verdict? Kid connoisseurs of him monsters will cheer the return of two old TV pals. (How did King Kong ever make his way from the Empire State building to Fujiyama?) Just as a bonus, there’s a giant octopus, too. Adults may enjoy camera tricks and dubbed-in Eng- lish dialogue, it’s unintentionally funny. Sex and Your Perspiration Q. Do you know there ore two kinds of perspiration? A. It’s true! One is "physical," caused by work, heat, or exer- tion; the other is "nervous" stim- ulated by emotion or sexual ex- citement. It's the kind that comes at moments when you are tense or emotionally excited. Q. Which perspiration is the worst offender? A. Doctors say that this "sex perspiration” is the big offender in underarm stains and odor. It comes from bigger, more power- ful glands — and this is the kind of perspiration that causes the most offensive odor. Q. How can you overcome this "sex perspiration"? Q. Why is ARRID CREAM America's most effective deodorant? A. Science says you need a deo- dorant specifically formulated to overcome offensive "sex perspi- ration” odor. And now it’s here . . .

As this Photoplayboy romped to press the popular Roz and her mate were very much together. . . . New Yorkers were surprised at the report that talented Lisa Kirk and her longtime hus- band. Bob Wells, would reach The Great Divide. Wells wrote most of Lisa’s remark- able songs which won her stardom on Broadway and in London. He was also the Daddy of many of the delightful Dinah Shore TV programs. Intimates hasten to tell you: Don’t make any wagers on a total eclipse for these two.

This reviewer covered that smash musical in 1941 when most of the young- sters in today’s troupe were unborn! Liza’s the ticket-seller for this show. The people out front the night we saw it pounded their hands loud and often for her specialties. Louder and more often, we should note, than for her colleagues. Judy, we were told, witnessed her image perform and was thrilled no end. “It seems as though she was born only | yesterday,” Judy sighed. It makes this observer sigh a little, too. The first time we flung orchids at Judy Garland was when she was fourteen. Tempus Sure Do Fugit. ❖ The Oscar that Anne Bancroft won this year did not save her show, “Mother Cour- age.” It folded shortly after she won it. But the Oscar reminded some of us that Hollywood snubbed Annie a few years ago and the day after winning it her phone started clang-clanging with offers from sev- eral studios. “It must be a great feeling for her,” observed a pal, “to answer that phone.” “You mean,” chuckled another, “NOT answering it!” ❖ Ethel Merman is prob’ly one of the wealthiest persons in show business. She could retire now and coast through her sunset years. But all the loot in the land apparently wouldn’t satisfy “The Merm” as she is nicknamed along the Stork Club- El Morocco Circuit. Not while there is applause to be heard at a show-stopping First-Night. Ethel is now on a seven-week tour. It started at Buffalo, June fourth. For head- ing a vaudeville show her guarantee is $185,000 plus a percentage. Students of Success Sagas will be in- terested to learn from Prof. Winchell that Ethel Merman’s ambition in life (when she started) was to be a singer like Libby Holman. Miss Holman was the Merman of her time.

I knew also that I was miss- ing out on good times, many activities. My eyes were opened... to Tampax by a friend. She said it can't chafe, can’t cause odor, can’t even be felt once in place. It sounded wonderful. Now I’m happy. Tampax is every- thing she said. I only regret I didn’t start using it years ago. Why don't you try Tampax® internal sanitary protection? It’s made for young moderns — like us. TAMPAX Incorporated Palmer, Mass. SECTION she's a grateful woman. Liz eventually will realize nearly nine million dollars for her role in "Cleopatra," and yet she refused to attend either the New York or Hollywood premieres of the epic. Did she feel that she gave an inferior performance? When it was ninty-nine per cent predictable she would win an Oscar, Liz came to the AciJemy Awards, although she had just been ill. This time, however, it wasn't her fear of failure so much as the fact that Dickie Bur- ton was making "Becket" in London. Ap- parently, since he couldn't attend, she felt ill-equipped to grace the New York and Hol- lywood openings. Thousands of her fans lined the streets in hopes that she would change her mind and come at the last minute. How wrong they were. The last time Liz changed her mind, Eddie Fisher packed his bags. Perhaps Vince Edwards will have to call on Dr. Kildare for first aid. Sharon Farrell was the gleam in his eye when he opened his singing doctor act at the Cocoanut Grove. Sherry Nelson stayed home to watch the late, late show on TV. Incidentally, Edwards' press agents claim he's another Sinatra. I wouldn't lose any sleep over it, Frankie. Now here we go again. Jayne Mansfield wants Mickey back. I heard she told the wandering crooner, Nelson Sardelli, he might as well find another hobby. Jill St. John was in New York with Frank Sinatra, but she came back to Lance Rev- entlow. A reconciliation? Well, I doubt it. Lance gave up playing with sports cars and is playing with polo ponies. Jill is still play- ing actress, they tell me. Natalie Wood found life too lonely at the beach. She moved back to town. It's Arthur Loew, Jr., who's making Natalie forget Warren Beatty ever existed. When Shirley MacLaine took a swing at a Hollywood columnist it was because he had printed an item that had been bugging her for months. He'd hinted there was trouble in the MacLaine-Parker household. That reconciliation alarm that rang when Sandra Dee flew back with the baby to New York where Bobby Darin was quartered proved false. Actually the studio sent her back to plug a film, and since Big D wanted to see the baby again, she volunteered to take him with her. It did mark the first time Sandy and Bobby faced each other since they broke up housekeeping. Scooping Around: An accident felled Mel Ferrer in Spain. They rushed him to New York for medical treatment. Audrey Hepburn showed grave concern when she interrupted rehearsal chores on "My Fair Lady" and jetted back to be with him. . . . Connie Francis and Don Rickies are still a big item. . . . The reason a Los Angeles traffic judge threw the book at Dick Cham- berlain (barred him from driving on the freeway): Dick twice previously was flagged down by the law while speeding in his souped-up Corvette. . . . What has all the young eligibles baffled is why Elke Sommer, the German sexpot in M-G-M's "The Prize," keeps turning down dates. I'll tell them.

Personally I liked the old Tuesday. If Elvis Presley and Ann-Margret don't jell a lot of chemistry, I'll eat Colonel Tom Parker's Presley buttons. The two started film- ing "Viva Las Vegas" in July. He plays a bus boy in the film and she's his lucky dish. Aren't Suzanne Pleshette and Troy Don- ahue planning to greet Santa Claus with bells — wedding bells that is.

Continued from page 14 She fell in love with and married the son of a rich tobacco man. Her mate was killed in a tragedy that stayed on the front pages for weeks. It also wrecked Libby’s career — the high spot came with a song she introduced. Ironically, it’s title was “Moanin’ Low.” ❖ New "York Novelet: “The Boys From Syracuse,” an early Rodgers & Hart pro- duction, won favor again with the critics and audiences when it was revived recently. The twenty-five-year-old musical gem cost only $35,000 to produce. “Hot Spot” and “Sophie,” two casualties, sent about One Million $ down the Broadway drain in the same season. But what we started out to jot down was that its new producer, Richard York, is a former waiter at Pablo’s Restaurant on East 58th Street. Mr. York got the option rights with money he saved from tips. He also lined up several of his customers as backers. One of them was lyricist Dorothy Field. York quit his waiter’s job last Jan- uary to give all of his sweat, blood and tears to staging the show. It garnered rave notices at Theater Four on West 55th Street where they expect to keep selling out all summer — this yeaT and next! ❖ “Dear Mr. Winchell,” passionately writes a reader, “I am always delighted to read about all the celebrated people you run into making your rounds in Hollywood and New York. But honestly, I have never been that fortunate. I just never happen to be at a restaurant, cafe or theater when some celebrity is breathing the same air as I am. Would you please find space in one of your Photoplay pieces to tell some of us real fans where to go to see our favorites?" Well, lessee now. . . . If it’s a weekend, John Edgar Hoover (the famous G-Man) is likely to be seen coming out of the Waldorf-Astoria where he dwells when in Manhattan. You might catch up with Mr. Hoover at Lindy’s Res- taurant on Broadway near 51st Street. He never fails to feast there when in Our Town. If it is a Sabbath evening — try the executive entrance (on 50th Street) of Radio City Music Hall. If you see a limousine parked nearby with the license plate J-42 there’s your man and autograph! The Waldorf Towers entrance on 50th Street near Park Avenue is where you stand a good chance of catching a fast look-see of many well-knowns. General MacArthur lives there, as does Ambassador Adlai Stevenson, the Duke and Duchess of Windsor and scads of other famous folks. The Kennedys? Try Voisin, a very swank restaurant, or the Carlyle Hotel. Margaret Truman? When she thirsts tor an ice cream soda she often gets it at Rumpelmayer’s in the St. Moritz Hotel on Central Park South. Papa Joe Kennedy? In New York he lives at 24 West 59th Street. If you have the patience to wait outside of Sardi’s or the Stork Club you are likely to run into Zsa-Zsa, Bert Lahr, Peter Lind Hayes and Mary Healy and other show folk pets. Jack E. Leonard and Milton Berle usually dine at Danny’s Hideaway on East 45th Street or at Reuben’s on West 58th. Lauren Bacall and husband Jason Robards, Jr. prefer the not too famous places such as Harold’s Show Spot on West 45th where the cuisine and price are Just Right. Too bad you weren’t at the Eden Roc on East 48th Street the night Major Cooper and the other astronauts dined there. That was the night following his reception and parade. Who should come in the same night but Grace Kelly and her Prince! ❖ The Broadway-Hollywood Line: Arlene Dahl keeps me confused.

Barbra Strei- sand (she became a star after clicking as a secretary in the “I Can Get It For You Wholesale” play) now has two Girl Fri- days answering her fanmail . . . Cary Grant’s comment about a newsmag’s snide crack rates added circulation. It said Cary saved “his first nickel.” To which Our Hero nimbly niftied: “I wish I had — in case Internal Revenue demands the four and one half cents I pay out of every five I earn." They keep showing a film we made with Alice Faye and Ben Bernie in 1936 on the Late Late Shows. The title: “Wake Up and Live.” Amazing how much of the wordage in it doesn’t seem stale. Only the clothing of the gals appears dated. The score is de- lightful. But what entertained me most was hearing a line that has become famous wherever they use Safety Slogans, to wit: “Drive Carefullv. Save a Life. It may be your own!" Two of our top playwrights, Tennessee Williams and William Inge, were among the season’s casualties. This happens, of course, to the best writers as they chal- lenge The Big Street. But Mr. Inge has been belting back at the drama critics publicly and Mr. Wil- liams complained that Broadway is too much of a big business. That he hated it and couldn’t stand it, et cetera, et cetera. How times change. We can remember all the way back when Tennessee worked at the Strand Theater as an usher and hoped that one day he would scale Mt. Broad- way. (End of Long, Deep Sigh.) * We are relaying the following true tale from Insider’s Newsletter because we know several waitresses who will appreciate it. And another girl who depends on good tippers — the hatchick at Lawry’s Restau- rant on La Cienega in Hollywood. (The latter always flatters this correspondent with: “I never miss an issue of Photoplay and your stories.”) The scene: Washington D.C. The her- oine: A waitress. She received a notice from Internal Revenue, saying that she hadn’t reported enough income as tips; that they should “come to at least fifteen percent of your gross sales.” She remembered the agent’s name. He was one of her patrons — always chose her table. So she replied: “You and three other men ate at our place just two nights ago. I remember you very well because your bill was $30 and you left $1.50 tip. So I guess you owe me $3.” It was a futile gesture. She lost the argument and the case. ❖ Danny’s Hideaway, a popular restaurant in Manhattan for show people, just added another room. They call it “The No Long- er Room.” The walls are covered with famous pa- trons now in Splitzville. Such as Tony and Janet. Frank and Ava. Bob and Natalie. Bobby and Sandra. Eduardo and Liz. The Broadway backers (Angels) suf- fered their worst season in decades. We noted only the other morning that “How To Succeed” would make more money than all the Broadway productions (com- bined) this season. One attraction called “Pajama Tops” started its tenancy at the Winter Garden by offering two tickets for the price of one. The slang word for it is “Twofers.” But you never can tell. Take “Enter Laughing” which we recently recommend- ed in these pages. Sylvia Sidney is the leading lady. It opened during the news- paper strike which lasted 114 days. The advance ticket money in the till totaled only $2,873. It is now well over $100,000 with ducats selling into February. The backers are wearing Very Wide Grins. — The End Walter Winchell narrates “The Untouch- ables,” ABC-TV, Tuesdays 9:30 PM, EDT. new, low-cost SERVICE LIFE INSURANCE hospital plan protects YOU and YOUR FAMILY against staggering medical and prolonged hospital expenses SERVING THE W STATES THE SERVICE UF£ INSURANCE CO.

It is the same story that is to be filmed in Copenhagen, with Christine playing the role she played in life! It was a muggy, moonlit July night when the fun began around the swimming pool at Lord Astor's sumptuous Clive- den estate. As an alluring redhead frol- icked in the pool, the silvery moonlight revealed that she was revealing a bit more than a guest at such a stately home should. She was nude! That was back in 1961, and the rip- ples left in the pool by the nude bather have since grown with sensation piled upon sensation — until today it is a mighty wave that shakes an empire. Things could have been much dif- ferent in the Empire today had things been different that July night. Exact recollections of what transpired have been addled, perhaps by time and/or the temperature. But as best as all who were present can recall, the events that propelled a pretty young girl of nine- teen from anonymity to notoriety went much the way a classic story of a temp- tress should go, with the hand of Fate directing from the wings. Christine Keeler, from the very be- ginning, was a girl of mystery. The very beginning is one of the big London rail terminals and the time is 1956. She ar- rives from the provinces, suitcase in hand. A forlorn look of loneliness crosses her pretty face. Behind her lies a past. It began with her father, whom she had never known. He left her mother when she was three months old. When she was three years old, her mother married an engineer and moved to the town of Wraysbury, just twenty miles west of London. Even then, Christine knew what she wanted. It was the glamour and the glit- ter of the city that she was after. Her neighbors have recently reported that, “When she was just a little tyke, she'd climb on someone’s knee and say, Tell me about London, tell me about the clubs and the bright lights.’ ” As she grew a little older her beauty made life in the near-slums more and more impossible. When she was oareiy into her teens, she had designed a home-made bikini that made jealous girlfriends dub her, the “Goddess of the Gravel Pits.” Soon she was ready for life in the big city. She wanted to become a model. But the long, hard pull begins from the bottom of the heap and Christine be- came “a corny fifteen-year-old shop girl,” as she puts it. Not long after her arrival in London, Christine moved up to modeling. But the pay wasn't what she expected. And i then she was pregnant, with an illegiti- mate, prematurely-born son, Peter, who died six days after his birth. She, after that, looked to showbusiness and got work in a night (Please turn the page) CHRISTINE KEELER continued, 24-hour protection from perspiration odor at an amazing [andcr CHLOROPHYLL STICK DEODORANT Jumbo 2 OZ.

But the shim- mering red hair and the slender, shapely body earned her a promotion to showgirl. “And then I began to meet my first interesting male companions,” Christine related. One was Stephen Ward, a forty- three-year-old socialite osteopath-art- ist who numbers among his patients and portrait sitters such widely dis- parate personages as Prince Philip and Elizabeth Taylor, as well as half the British cabinet. Included among the latter was John Profumo, forty-eight, the Sec- retary of State for War and one of Britain’s most brilliant ministers. Called Jack by his friends, Profumo had come into his post, which has cabinet rank, in July, 1960. He was well-qualified for it. The son of a baron of the late United Kingdom of Italy, a graduate of Harrow and Oxford, and an officer who rose from lieutenant to briga- dier during World War II, Profumo had served in Commons since 1940, when he was twenty-five, the young- est member in history. In 1952, he began his climb to ministerial rank. In December, 1954, he married ac- tress Valerie Hobson, who then gave up her twenty-year career on stage and screen. Valerie, who had two sons by a previous marriage, bore Jack a son, David, now eight. It was almost a year to the day following his elevation to Prime Min- ister Harold Macmillan's cabinet that Jack Profumo’s path crossed Chris- tine Keeler’s — at the Cliveden estate swimming pool. Fate and Dr. Ward had brought Christine and Jack to the crossroads at Cliveden, thirty miles west of Lon- don. Christine drove out to see Steph- en, who was spending the weekend at his country cottage on Lord Astor’s magnificent estate. We said it was a very warm night. Around midnight, the moonlight on Lord Astor's pool lent a shimmering invitation for a dip. “It didn’t matter about not having our swim suits,” says Christine. “Bill Astor — which is what we called him — always had spares hanging up in cabanas next to the pool, ready for emergency swims such as this.” Christine picked a suit and put it on, then scurried to the edge of the pool and plunged in. Suddenly Stephen called out: “Christine, I dare you to swim in the nude.” Although this suggestion might shock some girls, Christine had no such reaction. Christine and the good doctor, it must be explained, had been sharing a rather absorbing life together for some two years now. Christine lived in Stephen’s diggings in London. “Like a brother and sis- ter,” she said. “I jolly well will take your dare,” Christine called from the pool — and off came the swimming suit. One must understand that Dr. Ward is quite a joker. He was always one for livening things up. This time was no exception. His big chance came when the whoop of a man’s laughter filtered through the huge iron gate of the wall surrounding the pool. In that same instant, two men in dinner jackets walked through the gate. One was Lord Astor and the other man was Jack Profumo. “I was terrified,” Christine said. “I called to Stephen to throw me my bathing suit. But he tossed it into the bushes. Then he laughed his head off.” Christine had only one thought in her mind now. “I knew I was as naked as the day I was born — and I swam like mad to get away at the far end of the pool.” The sight of a lithesome nude cut- ting through the moonsplashed water must have invigorated the dignified war minister after a heavy repast at Lord Astor’s manse. Like a ruddy high-stepper in pursuit of mirthful diversion, the Hon. Mr. Profumo bolted after Christine. But the war minister didn’t pursue his attractive quarry for very long. “Nevertheless it scared me,” said Christine as she recalled how she ran out of the pool, grabbed a towel, wrapped it around her, then turned to face the (Continued on page 99) R E m D E R S ■ I N C.

Tony denies, too, that wife Christine is pregnant. Tom Tryon’s having a tough go with hepatitis. After return- ing from Europe where he made “The Cardinal,” he was hospital- ized for a long spell. From what I hear, Otto Preminger gave him a very rough time. On-the-set reporters tell me Tom was al- ways a perfect gentleman. Few people hear from Esther Williams, who threw her career out the window and pitched her tent in Rome to be near Fer- nando Lamas. Her two sons have lived with their father, Ben Gage, for the past three years, and are very good swimmers. Both won competitions with the YMCA in Santa Monica. Ben’s working in peal estate and does an occasional TV show. His only concern is for his daughter Susan, nine, who’s with Esther. thing — us, her school. She moth- ers the little girl Elizabeth adopted. And when Liza puts her feet up on the coffee table, there sits Mike Todd.” Burton’s charm may mesmerize Liz, but I think it’s about time she washed him out of her hair! Marilyn Monroe wasn’t for- gotten on her birthday. Many fans took flowers to her grave. Whitey Snyder, her makeup man, knew she loved white and purple stock, so he took a bou- quet with this note: “Happy birthday, dear Marilyn. Whitey.” 26 Jeanette MacDonald sold her big house in Bel Air that had such happy memories, divided up her treasures she couldn’t use, and bought two apartments on Wilshire Boulevard which she and Gene Raymond will make into one. Gene’s mother, who never approved of his mar- riage to Jeanette — despite its happy years of success — died without reconciling with them. Above: Joanne Woodward and Paul Newman continue to be the envy of a lot of stars because they’ve found the solution to that two -careers -will- wreck-a- marriage chestnut Their solu- tion is simple — Joanne puts Paul’s career first. Not many so-called glamour girls in these parts have the guts to do that! Above: Sammy Davis, Jr. is fly- ing high these days — but not so high he didn’t take time to brand those moving-to-London rumors as rubbish! He’s staying here! Lucille Ball’s daughter, Lucie, saw “Bye Bye Birdie” three times. She was so carried away with it, she planned to put on her own production. When brother Desi came down with the measles, the big production was ground to a halt. Bette Davis, after a trip abroad with daughter Barbara, said, “I finally realized I was getting on. B.D. collected herself a fiance, Jeremy Hyman. There was no doubt about it — I’ve had it.” Bette said the closest she came to romance was meeting Casey Stengel: “I don’t think anyone could be much cuter.” 20th was in an uproar over Walter Wanger’s diary about “Cleopatra.” They call him “Kiss and Tell,” and claim he painted everybody bad but himself. Above: I tried to pin down Rock Hudson on his marriage plans. He gave me a big yawn: “Tell you what, Hedda, just pre- dict both ways and then you’ll never be wrong. It’s fun for us to keep you guessing.” Below: Carol Lynley, who’s a fashion-plate, was caught in this get-up on her “Yum, Yum Tree” set. Best news I’ve had is that Carol’s ex, Mike Selsman, won’t fight for their daughter’s cus- tody. It’s a wise decision — the child would be the only loser in that battle.

WITH unDeR HeDDas Above: Rod Taylor beamed and his beautiful bride, Mary Hilem, blushed to beat the band, when I toasted them at their wedding. It was one of the nicest ones I’ve ever been to. Rod has long been a special favorite of mine — and I’m delighted he’s found the right girl. He’s been hunting her for a long, long time! Connie Stevens, who’s gone from one fellow to another like the man on the flying trapeze, has landed smack dab back with Glenn Ford again. Oh, well, some girls just never do learn, do they? And just where does this leave Rhonda Fleming? If Glenn’s romantic antics have me this confused, you can imagine how all the glamour gals feel! If Jayne Mansfield wanted to close the Hollywood gates on her film career, she couldn’t have chosen a better way to do it than by posing for those nude pictures in a national mag and making a picture abroad where she appears in the altogether. By now, everybody has seen what she’s got. It’s not beautiful or funny any more. Just vulgar. I like Jayne, I always have — but in my business, I simply have to call a spade a spade! Frances Dee (Mrs. Joel Mc- Crea) is the envy of all us moth- ers. Her son Jody invited her on a trip around the world with him, and she’s agoin’. Papa Joel will stay here to run the ranch with his non-acting sons. Judy Garland’s dressing room door at CBS isn’t decorated with her name. A plaque reads “The Legend.” Mickey Rooney proved again he’s the most talented guy in town at Judy’s 40th birthday party. Cecil Beaton, here to do designs for “My Fair Lady,” had never seen the Mick perform. Said Cecil, “I seldom use the word ‘genius’ but there’s no other that fits Rooney. His im- provisation is spontaneous, bril- liant, erudite. He’s great and in the Charlie Chaplin class.” I did a double take when I saw Pat Nerney, Jane Powell’s ex, with June Allyson at Tom May’s birthday party. Pat said to me, “You think I’m a heel don’t you?” I’ve known and loved Pat since he was little, so I replied, “Well, don’t you?” Cliff Robertson bought a house in La Jolla which led to speculation that he planned tak- ing a bride. He says no, that he’ll rent the main house and keep the guest house for week- ends. Cliff, who has many rela- tives in California, says that by buying the house, he’s simply “putting my roots back here in California where they started.” This Californian says, Welcome Back!

I’ve finished school. Now I’ll have a tutor instead of being cooped up with all those girls.” In two terms at a Swiss finishing school, she mastered French, Italian and skiing, but that wasn’t exactly Hayley’s idea of great fun. Above: Max Schell and ex- Queen Soroya were quite an item in Europe till she took sick. People are always asking me what I think of her decision to go into films. I can only say this: She’s beautiful! I can’t speak for her talent, I’ve never seen her act. But you can be sure that she’ll be big box-office. When ZaSu Pitts died of can- cer, we lost a great American and a fine friend. I don’t believe she ever made an enemy except in the Communist circles. But she never stopped alerting her fellow countrymen to the dan- ger, and lost many, juicy jobs because of her outspokenness. Jerry Lewis is higher than a flag on the Fourth of July over his expected baby — the sixth. “What Patti and I want to do,” he said, “is surround ourselves with love. We want our group to be big enough so we don’t have to care what the rest of the world’s doing.” Donna Reed and Tony Owen celebrated their eighteenth wed- ding anniversary and they had something to celebrate. Donna’s getting a million dollars for her sixth season on ABC-TV. Charles Robinson, a hand- some six-foot-two Princeton grad, will make it big in films. He’s with Sandra Dee and Jim- my Stewart in “Take Her, She’s Mine.” When he and his wife arrived here, they were short on cash, so they rented an old house and fixed it up. When it was finished, the owner dropped by and told them he was going abroad and had to sell. They were heartsick because they loved the house, but couldn’t afford it. The owner said, “Any- one who loves a house like you two, deserves it. Give me a note for $5,000 — no interest — and pay me when you can!” Carroll Baker settled her suit with Warners without going to court to clear the way for her to play Jean Harlow in“TheCarpet- baggers.” Baby Doll will have silver blond hair and a $40,000 wardrobe — and she’ll even do a nude scene. Gorgeous Carroll told me her rather unique beau- ty secret: She scrubs her face with soap, water and a brush. Above: Gary Clarke escorted Anna Kashfi to a premiere — and the whole town gasped. Guess they never thought Anna could forget Brando, nor Gary, Connie Stevens. Bravo for them! I hope they have lots of fun — they sure could use it! Jimmy Stewart did no acting while waiting nine months for 20th to reopen. But he and Gloria went on an African sa- fari; he did two tours of duty with the Air Force Reserve; traveled around the country for Princeton (he’s a trustee); had a ten-day vacation at Acapulco; flew to Carswell Air Base in Texas to narrate several Air Force training films; took in the Berlin Film Festival; en route home checked oil wells in Ire- land (three were dry, the fourth was pumping); then played him- self, General J. Stewart, in a TV segment of “My Three Sons.” Nice restful vacation, wasn’t it? The day before his picture ended, his greatest friend and partner Kirk Johnson died of a heart attack. My condolences.

(Please turn the page) what Burton does to Liz continued. Richard Burton, in a way, is a man who has everything . . . health . . . good looks . . . talent. And, above all, he has Liz Taylor. But, because life is a balance sheet of assets and debits, Richard has his problems, too. And, again above all, his biggest problem is Liz. It seems the lady has always had this peculiar habit of trying to turn her men, once captured, into her slaves. Think of her ex-husbands. . . . Certainly, in one way or another, each of Liz Taylor’s four ex-husbands — to say nothing of her countless boyfriends — was more-or-less her slave. Nicky Hilton was a slave ( Continued on page 36) In these exclusive, never-before- published photographs, Liz and Burton show that none of the passion has gone out of their romance. Time has not yet dimmed their affair, but they have other problems. For Bur- ton is still the only man who dares treat Liz as he does. 34 fi0m Mm mm. mmimJi ,S
