Dorothy Provine cairn with steady-date Buddy ? Francis' party Ann Maria's 'ex.' That well-mannered young singer, Fabian, overwhelmed Connie Francis with compliments and congratulations. Cocktails for Connie If you've ever -wanted to mingle with today's (and tomorrow's) stars you should have been with me at the cocktail party given for top feminine singer Connie Francis by MGM Records at The Cloister in Hollywood. From the moment I walked in, Fabian parked himself by me and never left my side. He's a happy boy because Bing Crosby with whom he is working in High Time has been so kind and patient with him. He is so very young, this boy. He was just seventeen February 6th. That gay young man around town and pal of the Crosby boys, Jimmy Boyd, joined our group, escorting pretty Diane McBain who makes her debut in Ice Palace. I was surprised to see Edd 'Kookie' Byrnes' girl, Asa Maynor, with Michael Callan, young actor at Columbia. I don't believe Asa and 'Kookie' are seeing much of each other these days. Troy Donahue, the boy Warners is building to stardom since A Summer Place, introduced me to Nan Morris, who was dressed in a severe tailored suit with her hair slicked back. "She is my best girl," said Troy. "I don't like to date actresses because they never pay any attention to anyone else's career but their own." Dorothy Provine (the girl who gets a good role in High Heels at Warners and who is as blonde as Anna Maria Alberghetti is brunette) was with Buddy Bregman, Anna's ex-fiance. At this writing, Dorothy is steadydating young composer-arranger Bregman. Molly Bee, much thinner and looking verychic in a white suit, told me she had spent the Christmas holidays in the hospital. She introduced me to her escort, young attorney Dan Busby. Alan Ladd's pretty daughter Alana turned her smiles on Chris Seitz, son of director George Seitz. Jlldi Meredith, once a good friend of Frank Sinatra, looked like a young caricature of Garbo wearing a slouch hat and wearing the proverbial trench-type coat. IS
