It's True L-o-v-e: When Lana Turner discovered her marriage to Steve Crane was illegal, due to the fact his divorce from Carol Kurtz was not final, she had her marriage annulled even though sne was to become a mother.
"Well," said Hollywood, "that's that. Lana was probably glad to get out of it all."
But they reckoned without love. After several attempts at a reconciliation, Steve and Lana finally slipped across the border to Mexico and, without telling a soul, were remarried under their own names of Joe Crane and Julia Turner.
"I loved him," was Lana's simple but drama-packed explanation. "We can't live apart and that's that. In spite of unhappy things beyond our control that have followed us, we have always been so congenial together — and so happy. Steve is now -in the Army and I wanted him to go knowing I will be waiting for him when he comes back."
See Here, Private Jones: In order to save gas Bing Crosby moved to a Hollywood apartment while completing his movie "Dixie." One morning Bing was hoofing along Melrose Avenue toward the studio when a soldier drove up in a flivver.

The soldier looked at him. "Pretty good, kid, but you better stick to your stand-in job and let Crosby do the singing. Brother, you ain't so good!"
This Month in Hollywood: Kay Kyser, the object of much arguing back and forth between Elmer Davis, O. W. I. director, and a North Carolina draft board, remains out of active service — turned down by the Army due to physical unfitness. Mr. Davis, aware of Kyser's untiring efforts to entertain our boys day and night in any spot he was needed, attempted to explain to Mr. Kyser's home state draft board the need for Kay, now thirty-eight, to remain where he was. Like most draft boards, they refused to listen . . . Hollywood actors know the cards are stacked against them either way, but can say or do nothing about it. Several draft boards have openly boasted they'd get such and such a star if it was the last thing they ever did. Doesn't sound very democratic to us.
In the meantime the hero situation has boiled down to a slow bubble. John Wayne, Errol Flynn, Paul Henried, Fred MacMurray, Joel McCrea and Cary Grant are carrying the main por
