When Burt said he liked long hair, I promptly began letting mine grow so I wouldn't look bald at my wedding." Their compatibility extends to food, as well. Judy's first home-cooked meal proved a pleasant surprise for Burt. "I expected the usual steak and salad. But the menu — wow ! " Judy served Salade de Filets de Harang a la Chalutiere, Poulet (chicken) a la Mode de Beaune, Fleurs de Courge Farcie (stuffed squash blossoms), and Souffle de Pommes a la Normande (apple marmalade souffle). It seems Judy had cunningly failed to mention that she was a graduate of both the Paris and London Cordon Bleu cooking schools, where world-famed chefs are trained. "You wonder that the fellows are all jealous of my good luck?" asks Burt. "Don't pay too much attention to his compliments," Judy teases. "I'm not quite that fancy all the time — and he's basically a steak-and-potato man anyhow. But he does appreciate good food." Judy knew few people when she first came to Hollywood. But, after a while, she adopted Burt's circle for her own and was gladly welcomed into the group. They include Doug McClure and his wife, Barbara Luna; Burt's stunt man, Hal Needham; director Gary Nelson and his wife, Judi Meredith; Burt's stand-in, Chuck Whipple; and artist Charlie Bird, Burt's ex-roommate. Judy has also remained close to Diana Dors and her husband, Dickie Dawson (fellow Britishers who were in New York at the time of the wedding and couldn't attend) ; also Aldo Ray's wife, JoAnne, and Josie Pollock. Eddie Foy Jr. of "Fair Exchange" has also become a close friend of Judy's and Burt's, but was away playing summer stock on their wedding day. It was Burt who decided on a church wedding, says Judy. "I'd have been content with a flying trip to Las Vegas. He said he'd go along with a small wedding— but it had to be in church. I didn't argue, but it did hold up matters for a while because June 28th was the first day we could get a chapel. You have no idea how many people in California want to get married in church sometime in June." Hot dogs vs. cool ones The last few days before the big event, says Judy, were like living in a railroad station. Both sets of parents popped in and out, shopping and sightseeing. The doorbell never ceased ringing as gifts, flowers and messages were delivered. Friends came and went, some of them more excited and nervous than Judy, who showed remarkable composure through it all. She was also in and out, going for last-minute fittings of her gown and going-away suit. The practical young actress asked her friend, designer Carolyn Steller, to produce a dress that could be converted to an evening gown. The talented Miss Steller came up with a white peau de soie with tulip skirt, detachable long sleeves and train, which, when removed, left a sleeveless sweetheart-necklined dress. Judy's maid-of honor, Sharon Dubord, wore an apricot gown, waltz length. Sharon was her only attendant. Through all this hubbub, especially on the day of the wedding, Clyde maintained the calm and thoughtful manner becoming to a basset hound. Any other breed of dog would have gone off his rocker. Aside from his tranquil nature, Clyde had a good thing going in the kitchen, which sustained him amid the fuss. Instead of just Burt and Judy to look after his meals, he now had their parents and numerous friends of the family, who kept slipping him tidbits. Clyde played it cool, rolled his soulful eyes and accepted whatever goodies came his way. On the Wedding Day, everyone got up at what Clyde considered the crack of dawn. The two mothers left together to do some final shopping and have their hair done. Judy and her father (he owns a string of fruit shops in the midlands of England similar to the fruit stalls of The Farmers Market of Hollywood) dashed out to the airport to pick up the best man, Dudley Remus, an exactor now in business in Boise, Idaho. Burt had to work at the studio, so he couldn't be of any help. And since nobody thought to ask Clyde to pitch in, he ducked behind a lounge chair and settled down to a snooze. Meanwhile, Judy was talking to a reporter, posing for pictures, setting her hair and answering the phone. One of the calls was from Burt. He'd forgotten his black shoes. Could someone bring them? More gifts arrived. Judy clasped her hands when she saw an electric grill and toaster, the china cabinet from Milburne Stone and Amanda Blake of "Gunsmoke" and the sterling silver tea set from England. Jim Arness sent a wire explaining his gift (a piece of furniture he was having made) would come later. Finally Judy was handed a frankfurter with onion on it, since she hadn't eaten all day. She pushed it away. "Onion? If I ate that, Burt would back out of the wedding," she laughed. At this point, Clyde lumbered out of his refuge and announced that he would be happy to have the frankfurter with or without onion, provided people would stop referring to it as a "dog." Just as everyone was about to dash pell-mell out for the cars, Judy said "Ouch!" She had broken a fingernail. Her mother consoled her with, "Break a nail on your wedding day for good luck." And her father groaned as he led his wife to the door, "I'm glad we only had one daughter. I wouldn't go through this again for all the tea in England." Then suddenly the noise was over, the house was empty and silent. Clyde peered out of the window, "I was the one responsible for the whole thing," he mused, "and now they've left me behind. Well, no matter. They'll be back and everything will soon be normal again. But I'm happy they're so much in love — that makes it a permanent arrangement. Judy's dad is right. I sure wouldn't want to go through this again for all the hamburgers in the butcher shop." — Kathleen Post Burt co-stars in "Gunsmoke," seen on CBS-TV, Sat., 10 to 11 P.M. EDT.
