Dinah Shore was always a pretty girl. But she has become a downright beautiful woman, and whether she realizes it or not (probably she does but is too modest to admit it) her secret recipe is happiness.
Each year since her marriage to George Montgomery on December 5, 1943, friends have been saying to Dinah, "I don't know how you do it. You look younger all the time, but that isn't all. There's sort of a glow about you . . . and you never seem to get tied in knots as so many people do."
The glow is authentic. For Dinah has come into her own kingdom, and she believes that any girl in the world can open the same magic door with one key: fall deeply in love with the man who has fallen deeply in love with you. It's that simple, and that difficult. Love brings confidence, confidence brings happiness, and happiness brings beauty.
And not only does the glow show in Dinah's appearance, but in the manner in which she conducts her entire life. Right now she's sitting on top of the TV world with her regular NBC show on Tuesday and Thursday nights at 7:30 EST, which she emcees and stars in delightfully.
In her private life she's secure and serene, the center of a happy family trio that includes George and daughter Melissa, born January 4, 1948. In Palm Springs, where the Montgomerys have a house that George himself built, Dinah does all her own cooking. Dinner, family style, is placed on a huge lazy susan in the center of the round dining table and guests help themselves. Such a sophisticated group as Mr. and Mrs. Sam Goldwyn, Mr. and Mrs. Moss Hart, Mr. and Mrs. Richard Rodgers, and other members of the Palm Springs Manhattan chapter have spent self-congratulatory hours around Dinah's spaghetti, barbecued chicken, green salad, coffee and apple pancakes.
In Hollywood, as there is in many a social group, a party-giving cliche has developed. The only way to give a truly great party, say the self-appointed arbiters, is to take over the Crystal Room in the Beverly Hills Hotel, or the Crown Room at Romanoff's. One has florists decorate; one employs a name band; one selects a menu in French.
When Dinah and George gave their first big affair, George and one of his friends dug a barbecue pit and roasted a side of beef. Long tables, covered by red checkered cloths were set out under giant oak trees, and the music was supplied by musicians who were also guests. Everyone had a magnificent time; several astounded hostesses asked Dinah how she had (continued on pace 66)
