Amazing Redeema smooths skin on face, throat, hands. $5.00*. Companion moisturizer, p Creme Emollia, $3.00* Both by Maradel. *plus tax sigh: “You know, I am very tired of apologizing for being civil to my mother!” * Cary Grant explained to an interviewer why he and Betsy Drake divorced: “We have had and shall always have, a deep love and respect for each other, but, alas, our marriage has not brought us the happiness we fully expected and mutually desired.” That’s Hollyweird! Deep love and respect are not enough for a happy marriage. Just a happy divorce. * Paragraphing about authors, there’s Linda Christian’s book “Linda” about the many loves in her life. Some of her Hollywood and Broadway chums were chatting about the book’s candor. “You’ve gotta give Linda credit,” said one gal. “Yes,” meow’d another, “how did she ever find time?” * The stage-and-movie-struck should enjoy this fact. Christopher Washburn (a Cornell grad) was a successful restaurateur official at the swank Ram Club, Southampton, Long Island. Washington notables may remember him when he ran the dining room for the Jefferson Hotel in the Capital. His folks are rich. A Warners movie studio executive recently suggested that Washburn try his luck at acting. The bug bit and he shelved his good-paying post to invade Hollywood. So dedicated is this handsome youth of twenty-four that he is learning how to suffer while waiting for The Breaks. Friends report that he dwells in a secondrate hotel where he makes up his own bed, etc. While living the life of a struggling thespian, Chris drives a Corvette to Warners’ acting school for newcomers. The executive who suggested he try his luck at acting apparently is good at talentscouting, too. Washburn landed a bit-part in “PT-109,” the film about President John F. Kennedy’s wartime heroism in the Pacific. ❖ Tip to Autographer-Vacationists: The newest of the upper-set’s hideaways is Sardinia’s Emerald Coast on the Mediterranean. Aga Khan has built a hotel there for his royal friends and the movie elite. So have Ingrid Bergman and David Niven . . . The FBI still is investigating complaints by Doris Day and her husband. Victims of anonymous threatening letters. G-Men once trapped would-be extortionists who tried to shake down Ginger Rogers ... If you happen to be on a TV program that gives prizes (for answering questions correctly) and they ask you for the full name of Sarah Churchill’s new husband (Baron Audley) tell them it is: Percy Henry Touchet-Touchet-Jesson . . . Melina Mercouri’s logic: “If you have never cried, your eyes can’t be beautiful.” * Never heard of Suzanne Le Roy? Well, meet her now. She is one of the girls in the line at Broadway’s Latin Quarter. She is 5'8" . . . 37y2-24-37y2 ... Her admirers include a steel magnate and a Western Senator, to mention two . . . Suzanne makes good copy for the columnists in New York with her beauty and the way she juggles her dates so that they never run into each other. The only showgal we know who can match the dolls in “The Ziegfeld Follies,” George White “Scandals” and Earl Carroll’s “Vanities” . . . You may have seen her “steal the show” at the Tropicana, Vegas, last year. Suzy has more diamonds, minks and other nicnax than any of her colleagues. Oh, yes, and an imported sports car. She lives like a $10,000 per week star. Another eyeful in the Latin Q. lineup is Lucretia Hickerson of Austin, Texas . . . She says she is a direct descendant of James Whitcomb Riley, the “Hoosier Poet” . . . She was named after Lucretia McPherson, the wife of Civil War General McPherson, the youngest General in U.S. history. * Life Repeating Art Note: The majority of the people connected with O’Neill’s tragic masterpiece, “Long Day’s Journey Into Night,” are beset with monumental marital problems and entanglements . . . The letter “L,” by the way, starts the titles of several films this year . . . “Longest Day,” “Long Day’s Journey,” “Lolita” and “Lawrence of Arabia” . . . Insiders say you may never again see Sophia Loren appear in a picture starring American favorites such as Sinatra, Grant and Quinn. Husband Carlo Ponti reportedly feels that they are not acting when they embrace her . . . Rita Hayworth knew what she was doing when she resigned as leading lady of the Broadway-bound play, “Step on a Crack.” It was rapped into oblivion by the First-Night Firing Squad . . . The critics have been rough on plays featuring movie stars. Joseph Cotten arrived in “Calculated Risk” as we “twisted” to press. A mildly entertaining opus made attractive by Cotten’s talent . . . Joan Fontaine’s romance with Charles Addams (The New Yorker mag’s popular spooktoonist), still has a bright flame. Joan, always a sharp business female, plans a chain of Florida hotels. * Press-agent items we fling at the nearest wicker: “The Lettermen spurned a $100,000 offer to make beer commercials. Two of the three lads are Mormons and wouldn’t praise the brew. Against their religious belief, etc.” Is a puzzlement. They starred at the Crescendo (H’wood) not long ago where the GiggleWaterWyoming-Ketchup-Laughing-Soup crowd helped pay their salary. * AMA medics warned females not to walk like a duck, but Ellen Proxmire, shapely wife of the Wisconsin Senator, regards the “duck waddle” as “particularly good for a girl’s legs.” Madame, the only thing good for a girl’s legs is getting them stared at! The End.
