Debbie on the Paar Show: Debbie Reynolds telephoned tc ask me and Jimmy McHugh to be her guests at the Thalian party and while I had her ear I asked, "What got into you to go on such a rampage on Jack Paar's TV show — tearing off his shirt and all that nonsense?" Debbie's antics had stirred up a lot of rcmment, not all of it complimentary. She said, "Jack told me not to be serious — tc live it up and act like I was having fun." Debbie sounded really chastened as she added, "I'm sorry if some people got the wrong impression." Chcnging the subject, I Said, "At least six people have called me this morning saying that Harry Karl has just paid S400,000 for an estate next to Dinah Shore's and that he bought the house for a honeymoon home for you. True or false?" This time, Debbie really laughed. "You know it isn't true. I like Hcrry. He's a nice man and a thoughtful one. But there's absolutely no thought of marriage between us and never has been." "How are those wonderful babies?" I asked, meaning adorable little Carrie Frances and Todd. "I sent them up to be with Eddie in Las Vegas over the week end," Debbie said, "and I never knew how much I could miss them!

As France intends to resume her film career (she debuted in South Pacific} at 20th Century-Fox after the run of her play, it might behoove her to improve her relations with the press. Her boyfriend is a big star — but she isn't, yet. I'm on my SOAP BOX . . tc say I think the conduct of France Nuyen (who may be the next Mrs. Marlon Brando} at the Miami airport when she and Marlon flew back from a little vacation in Haiti, was inexcusable. Miss Nuyen saw fit to strike out at reporters and photographers who report her conversation equally torrid. Surprisingly, Marlon stood by mere or less calmly — maybe he was so taken with the behavior of his companion he decided to let her handle affairs for the two of them. France kept yelling something about her privacy — which is a laugh. When a young lady who is the star of a hit New York show, The World of Suzie Wcng, decides to take a trip with a young man who is probably one of the most famous actors in the world, she may expect many things — but privacy isn't one of them!
