Photoplay (Jan-Jun 1963)

der. s INC. P E and many of these younger members were not even born when Miss MacDonald was at her peak. Clara Rhoades 1185 Woodward Ave. Topeka, Kansas SHOULD ELVIS MARRY? This is beginning to get on my nerves. All this jazz about why Elvis isn’t married yet, or if he should be in the first place. Gee, the poor guy must feel like he hasn’t got anything at all to do with it. Why doesn’t everybody just shut up and let Elvis decide what he wants to do. Sylvia Mantovani Kingston, N.Y. ROCK A BYE-BYE? I LOVE LUCY! Lucille Ball is the most perfect movie star I know of. She has talent far beyond any of the other stars. I love her big eyes, her orang-y red hair, her cupid lips and her figure. She can make me laugh when no one else can on her program. If I had my choice to meet any star, it would be Lucy. Fay Pettit Morehead, Ky. A TRAGIC BLOW I think it’s about time Rock Hudson settled down and married Marilyn Maxwell. How long can a “friendship” go on? Ginny Gordon Bklyn., N.Y. GOODBYE TO MARILYN I’m sure many people took objection to Marilyn Monroe’s nude photos in your latest Photoplay, but I found them to be a lasting tribute from a beautiful star to all her fans. Where will Hollywood get another symbol of womanhood? G. Coccozza Plainfield, NJ. Mario Lanza’s untimely death was a tragic blow to his many fans, therefore, it is difficult to put into words just how very, very much Mrs. Cocozza’s article about her famed son and his four children is appreciated. Many, many thanks for the opportunity to hear about this beloved tenor who is sadly missed by his host of fans. Florence Hauck Lancaster, Penn. GIRL OF THE GOLDEN WEST . . . As a reader now for more than twenty years. Photoplay is really an old friend and you are to be commended for continuing the high quality of your magazine over the years when other similar ones have slipped into sensationalism with glaring headlines and misleading ones, too. It might be interesting to some of your readers that the Jeanette MacDonald International Fan Club is celebrating its 25th anniversary. It is interesting that in the past two years our members’ average age — new members, that is — is twenty-one BOW-WOW I’ve tried the various hairdos you suggested and I must confess I’m not too good at it. My boy friend claims I look like a cross between Elvis Presley on a rainy day and a frightened wire-haired terrier. Nevertheless, they have helped my friends, so please have more beauty hints. By the way, Liz ought to try your hairdos. Did you see her photo on page 50 in your February book? Annabelle Bundie New York, N.Y. CAMERA SHY? Ingrid Bergman through the years has suffered the wrath of her public, but of course she has no one to blame but herself. She certainly can’t expect her life to be private, so why not have photographers and the world see photos of her children. They look most happy and content, Ann Cranston Los Angeles, Calif.
