Perhaps I should have led up to my proposal gradually . . . talked shop . . . discussed her career or mine . . . chattered adroitly of life and love and the best methods of pursuing happiness. But I by-passed all that, and said, as nearly as I can remember, "Look . there's something I think you should be the first to know. You and I are going to get married." We had had a fine time at the party. There had been lots of laughs, some horse play and crazy gags. Betty evidently thought this was just another gag, so she laughed. Not so many months later, I could have uttered a smug, "I told you so!" We stood in the quiet sanctuary of St. Thomas' Episcopal Church in Hollywood and Betty said, "I do." To this day, I don't know what kind of a dress she wore, because I never took my eyes from hers. brideless bridegroom . . . Being highly impractical, both of us, we started our married life on an appropriately unorthodox basis. To assure a successful marriage, the two persons involved are supposed to be within shouting distance of each other. It is true for about a week we honeymooned during the days, but nights I had to go to the studio for some after-dark shots in Counter -Attack. Two weeks later, Betty was called East to start rehearsal for Laughing Room Only, leaving me with the melancholy distinction of being Hollywood's only brideless bridegroom. Even now, it seems like a bad dream to recall those months when we wanted to be together but could snatch only an occasional brief rendezvous in New York whenever I could get away from the studio. Once, literally flying into each other's arms, we almost staged our own private comedy of errors. With a few days' rest before starting rehearsal for the musical, Call Me Mister, Betty decided on a spur-of-the-moment visit to Hollywood. Shooting on The Renegade was completed about the same time, and I had just bought a plane ticket for New York and a similar surprise for Betty. Luckily, just before taking off, she phoned me long distance from LaGuardia Field. And we didn't need to toss a coin to see who'd make the trip. Betty's plane took off two hours before mine, so that solved that. We still laugh, picturing how that double-barrelled surprise almost boomeranged. Separations those two years before Betty signed her first movie contract with MGM, brought us even closer together in spirit. Every reunion was another honeymoon — short, cherished holidays in New York, which we both love, or in the small Hollywood apartment where the Parks' started their sketchy housekeeping. We never neared its cheery white door without reviewing our wedding day and the sad plight of the happy bridegroom who had planned to carry his bride over the threshold in the best romantic tradition. The project bogged down when I discovered that, in my eagerness to reach the church, I had forgotten the door-key. I had to climb in the window and open the door from the inside, dishevelled and smudged on the chin where I bumped into a flower pot. Betty enjoyed this immensely and still cites it as one of the most striking entrances in my career as an actor. Maybe because our time together was NEW! Creamy Home Shampoo!
