I KIM NOVAK Headed for the altar? Ap By HELEN HENDRICKS .N UNKIND REPORTER has quipped that Kim Novak "has been accused of everything — except being an actress. Her love affairs get better reviews than her acting." It's true that Kim's mad romances with such suave, handkissing, enormously wealthy Romeos as the Italian tomato king, "Count" Mario Bandini, South American playboy "Baby" Pignatari, Dominican Republic's General Rafael Trujillo, Jr., and Aly Khan, have made international headlines. But when, and if, the girl who leapt from rags to riches marries the man of her heart, quiet, gentlemanly, far-from-rich director Richard Quine, there will be no jealous pangs from such playgirls as Zsa Zsa Gabor or Linda Christian. This hoped-formarriage, Kim's friends believe, is just what the fluorescent blonde really needs. Quine is a highly-talented, sensitive and creative man who is devoted to her not because she is a glamourous movie star or can advance his career, but for herself alone. It's no quickie romance, either, for Richard was Kim's director on her first film in 1954. But then he was married and Kim was in love with her long-time suitor, theater-owner Mac Krim.

In fact, every time the director's wife sees the color lavender (or even hears the word), she sees red." And another columnist cat-chatted more recently, "Dick got a divorce so he and Kim could wed but they'reboth still single. She went through a rather rough time in her personal life when Dick Quine, with whom she is deeply in love, was in the process of divorcing his wife and at the same time having doubts as to whether or not Kim would really love him when he was finally available. His doubts were logical since Kim's history is to love best what she can't have. It is the race that Kim enjoys, not the winning of it." With fire in her lovely amber eyes, Kim snapped back at the insinuations. "I was not responsible for the dissent in the Richard Quine household. These irresponsible remarks hurt be continued on page 60 1960 looks like the year that Kim, so many times in love, will finally walk down the matrimonial aisle and whisper, "I do9' THE MAN in Kim's life, with whom she'll tie the nuptial knot this year, according to friends, is director Dick Quine. GORGEOUS Kim has matured both as an actress and a I woman, and her days of girlish crushes now appear over. 12
