Nome Address _ _ City t Stote DM-ii-si Shelley herself says, "When I'm working I'm scared and nervous. If something annoys me I get it off my chest." At first, it was merely convenient and good publicity to have a steady date for gossip items, parties, and previews. But then it became a need, when either was lonely or depressed or puzzled, to see the other. They became almost constant companions, and they fell in love. Some skeptics still don't believe it. Early last spring, Jerry Wald, a producer who specializes in publicity, tried to hire Farley Granger for the lead in Behave Yourself. Farley said he would star in Mr. Wald's picture if (a) Mr. Goldwyn would loan him out; (b) he liked the script; and (c) Shelley Winters played opposite him. Wald immediately went to work and saw to it that all three conditions were complied with. After the film was finished, there was a party on the sound stage, and Farley slipped a "friendship ring" on Shelley's finger. At once, most of Hollywood agreed that this was a Jerry Wald publicity gimmick, pure and simple. It was further suggested that if Shelley and Farley maintained their lovey-dovey attitude in public, Wald might even prevail upon RKO to pay the expenses of their trip to Europe, such expenses to be charged off for publicity purposes. The story was soon broadcast that Shel ley and Farley were destined to wed, only some versions insisted upon painting Shelley as a prospective June bride. Shelley denied this for one very simple reason. Farley hadn't proposed. "I give you my word," a publicity man who knows Shelley well, said the other day, "as soon as Farley opens his mouth and says, 'Shelley, will you—' I give you my word, she'll say yes before he finishes the question." This is entirely likely. Shelley and Farley may marry at any time during their European tour. But Farley will have to pop the question. Shelley may be bold and outspoken, but she cannot bring herself to the point of seriously saying to Farley, "Why don't you marry me?" And Farley, who is only 26, may feel strongly that there's still time for marriage and responsibility. When he left Hollywood at the end of August he found himself in the best position of his life. He had two good pictures behind him, money in the bank, a new long-term contract with Sam Goldwyn, an exciting itinerary in Europe, and a beautiful blond named Shelley desperately anxious to join him. Maybe he thinks this is enough for a while, but if he wants Shelley he'd better ask her now, because the odds are she isn't going to cool her heels waiting much longer. The End easy money Maybe you'll sniff at the idea that Chrisfmas is just around the corner — that now is the time to begin thinking about getting in shape for freely giving.
