NEBR GOOD NEWS (Continued from page 14) Kirk Douglas examines Janet Waldo's make-up kit during a rehearsal of CBS' Family o{ Stars. Jottings Around Town: Kirk Douglas, walking into a popular night spot alone three nights in a row, only winked when I asked him where all his pretty "dates" were. I hear Kirk has been "advised" against showing up with a different lovely every night. Ann Sheridan's Paris clothes are dreamy. Saw her dancing around Ciro's in a black taffeta, cocktail-length and very decollete with three flounces of pale pink petticoats. Every woman in the room was eying that little number with envy. Ginger Rogers cries and cries on the set of Perfect Strangers, yet she denies that she and Jackie Briggs are having trouble after all these years, though she admits they had an argument. But if everything is patched up again, why does she continue to be so depressed? John Hodiak removing strawberry shortcake dessert from in front of Anne Baxter at dinner at La Rue. Pretty cute. He likes her thin! Ava Gardner and Howard Duff lunching in a booth at the Brown Derby. Into the next booth come Mickey Rooney and his bride, Martha Vickers. The Mick and Ava, who were once married, no speakee. Incidentally, Mickey and Martha are "expecting." Questions and Answers Department: Are Wanda Hendrix and Audie Murphy expecting a baby? Wanda says, "Not yet" — but she does say she is hoping the rumors will be true any time. Is Alan Ladd getting temperamental at the studio? Not a bit of it. He is one of the most cooperative actors in this business. When he didn't like certain things in the script of his Postal Inspector story, he went in and had a talk about them. Result — the bosses said he was right and ordered changes. Is Judy Garland well enough to come back to work? Not yet. Judy is coming along very well and has put on nine pounds. But it will be a big mistake if she doesn't rest for several months yet. Which actress is in the lead (so far) for next year's Academy Award? Deborah Kerr ■ — hands down — for her wonderful work in Edward, My Son. Has Kirk Douglas been suffering from a swollen head? If he was — he's over it. Well, I guess this is all for this month. In my mail, I notice that Ricardo Montalban is beginning to attract considerable fan interest. Also, John Derek. I'm going to have a talk with both of these boys soon and I'll be having more to say about them. Elizabeth Taylor is still "Miss Big" among the girls with my correspondents. Thanks, as always, for your letters and keep 'em coming! PHOTO CREDITS Below you will find credited page by page the photographs which appear in this issue. 6 Bert Parry Exc. T.
