Modern Screen (Dec 1949 - Nov 1950)

Nicky knew that Elizabeth didn't like nightclubs, especially since the press had raked her over the coals for hearing Vic Damone sing in one of them. He didn't take her to nightclubs. Sometimes they went over to his brother Barron's house. "My brother's married, you know," he'd tell her. "I know," she'd say. "He has two children," Nicky 'd go on. "They get along fine." ''Who does?" "All of them. Funny thing. Barron's younger than I am, a year and a half — he's only 22." "So?" "So he's married. He has two children." "Yes, you told me." Barron and his wife, Marilyn, helped Nicky's project along. First place, they looked happy together. Second place, they told Elizabeth they were happy together. But they didn't have to tell her. In no time at all, Nicky and Elizabeth were talking about that honeymoon. Neither of them is a stranger to Europe. Elizabeth was born in England, 18 years ago, at Number 8, Wildwood Road. Her father ran an art shop on London's Old Bond Street. And Nicky not only toured England, France, and Italy with his father two years ago, but he also put in time at a hotel management school in Lausanne, Switzerland. Nicky knows the hotel business from the cellar up. When he was a young boy, his father gave him odd jobs in the various Hilton hotels, and he learned the angles. Shortly after the honeymooners get home, Nicky hopes to be running a hotel in Los Angeles. weekend at the waldorf . . . It will be a Hilton Hotel, of course, but ifll be owned and operated by Nicky himself. He has a proud and independent nature, and wants to keep it that way. Since Elizabeth's also in the hotel business now, by marriage, she's getting more and more hotel-minded. When she was in New York putting the finishing touches on her trousseau, she learned that her agent, Jules Goldstone, had registered at the Sherry-Netherland. She rushed to the phone and called him. "What do you mean by stopping at the Sherry-Netherland?" she said. "That's not a Hilton hotel. Why aren't you staying at the Waldorf? That's our hotel." Goldstone moved to the Waldorf fast. Elizabeth and Nicky will probably move into the Bel Air Hotel after their honeymoon. (It doesn't belong to the Hiltons, but they'll get a good rate.) Then they'll look for a home of their own. For a time there was talk of their living in the penthouse at the Sunset Towers, but that place is owned by the Kirkeby hotel chain, Hilton's rivals, and the suite rents for $600 a month. Nicky doesn't plan on paying S600 a month to rivals. Among other gossip circulated around is that Nicky doesn't know what he's getting into. "Being married to Elizabeth Taylor," cracked one columnist, "is like being married to a public utility." But Nicky Hilton knew what it would be like long before he proposed, long before he gave her the four carat diamond engagement ring (insured at $10,000). He lived in Bel-Air for years, attended Loyola University at Los Angeles, mingled with all sorts of movie celebrities, but Nicky never suffered from stars-inthe-eyes. He knew then, and knows now what marriage to a screen star means. He realizes that no matter what he accomplishes in life, unless, of course, he for YOU... that $22.95 look ...
