I Can you imagine, girls, sitting in a softly lighted room overlooking one of the most beautiful gardens in Bel Air, with the lights turned low and ditto on the music — with Frank Sinatra on one side of you and Van Johnson on the other?
I suppose if I had been in bobby sox I would have been more thrilled — but then, it wasn't bad company at any age, not bad at all.
We were at Mervyn Le Roy's party — one of the nicest of many that followed the V-E Day announcement. I had a long talk with Frankie, who was getting ready to go overseas and had taken his shots.
