an
open letter to wan da and audie — and some others
Dear Wanda and Audie:
As 1950, the half-way point of the century, rolls around, it's an occasion for reflection — and for hope.
During 1950, we hope you two young people will make a success of your recent reconciliation. You, Wanda, and you, Audie, represent a bright young dream for many thousands of persons. It seems to us that, in facing squarely the issues between you, you stand as an example for many young couples.
We also hope the numerous published rumors of domestic trouble between Glenn Ford and Eleanor Powell are as false as they were in 1949, and that this fine couple will continue to make the whispers of dissension sound silly.
We hope that June Haver, after the heartbreaking tragedy she suffered because of the death of Dr. John Duzik, will be able to rise above it with the shining courage she has already demonstrated.
We hope that Ingrid Bergman, despite the strange situation into which her heart has led her, will forget her announced decision never to return to Hollywood. The film world is Miss Bergman's world; she can't renounce her citizenship in it without causing unhappiness both for herself and others.
We hope Bette Davis will not find occasion to press her action for divorce from William Sherry — an action which, despite their current reconciliation, she has not withdrawn.
We hope that Joan Evans, having shown she is an actress of stature in her first film, Roseanna McCoy, will continue to develop toward the high position she seems destined to occupy.
We hope the stories we hear, which give the impression that Lana Turner is jealous of the build-up given Elizabeth Taylor, turn out to be idle rumors. There's plenty of room at the top.
We hope Montgomery Gift and Guy Madison will see the wisdom of adopting a friendlier, more cooperative attitude toward the public and press.
We hope Bing Crosby will get through 1950 without hearing that he is (1) washed up, (2) slipping, (3) sick, (4) selfish, (5) uncooperative.
We hope that John Derek will go forward to .even greater accomplishments than those already achieved in such films as All the King's Men.
We hope that Van Johnson continues to get roles such as he had in Battleground — roles that give him an opportunity to demonstrate his considerable and hitherto underrated acting ability.
We hope Frank Sinatra will continue to keep the chip off his shoulder. Chips belong in woodpiles.
