It was a brand-new Tuesday Weld who appeared at Johnny Mathis' debut.
Johnny Mathis' Debut
Everybody but everybody turned out for the Johnny Mathis debut at the Cocoanut Grove. I take a great deal of pride in the success of this young singer who is such a rage. Two years ago, I attended Johnny 's first opening night in Hollywood — at the Crescendo. He came over to the table and told me how grateful he was that I had come. Later, I predicted great things for him in my newspaper column. He has alwcys said it was one of the things that helped put him over in a big way. If you ask me — he can take a bow on that because of his voice and the fine way hs has conducted himself.
One look around the Cocoanut Grove — and it was obvious that Johnny has arrived. I saw :
Zsa Zsa Gabor in a brilliant red dress and pink shoes — "the latest color combination from Paris, dolling."
Shirley MacLaine was in the big party hosted by Barbara Rush end Warren
Cowan that also included the Edward G. Robinsons, Jimmy McHugh and myself.
I could hardly take my eyes off Simone Signoret end her husband Yves Montand. She kept kissing the back of Yves' neck all evening long.
But even more of an eyeful was Tuesday Weld dressed to the teeth and a model of sartorial splendor in a formal gown. Even Tuesday's hair was carefully groomed! And, I assume she was wearing shoes — she was so dignified posing for the photographers as they snapped picture after picture. Little wonder. This was a brand-new Tuesday.
Also spotted Norma Shearer (as beautiful today cs she was when she was a top MGM star) with her husband Marty Arrouge and her daughter Katherine; and another old and good friend of mine, Frances Langford, and her millionaire husband, Ralph Evinrude.
Do you wonder that Johnny Mathis sang his heart out to such a brilliant audience?
