at a Hollywood luncheon — but you best performances yourselves.
But I bet — though 1 shouldn't — Junie's secretly rooting for her new co-star, Jack Lemmon.
African picture she's made no bones about being "scairt." "I guess I'm just not the adventurous type," she says.
EXACTLY ONE WEEK to the day that Dick Haymes stood in the spotlight at the Cocoanut Grove in Los Angeles and brought tears to Bita Hayworth's eyes singing "Come Rain Or Come Shine" right to her, she announced their separation. There were rumors all over town that Dick and Rita had such a battle royal that he blackened one of her green eyes. Rita hid behind dark glasses when she spent all day in her lawyer's office, but Dick swears he never hit her. Their few intimates beKeve that Rita just couldn't take Dick's possessing of her life and career any more. Remember I told you in this column of how Dick wouldn't let Rita out of his sight and even went with her to a business conference at Jerry Wald's house which he was invited to leave and didn't. It seems strange to me that after these two went through so much trouble when Dick was out of work and about to be deported, they couldn't solve their marriage when the going got good.
NOT EVEN their close friends, Frances and Edgar Bergen, were invited to be with June Allyson and Dick Powell when they celebrated their tenth anniversary.
Dick and June got away from everything and everybody by chartering a yacht for three days and sailing off to Catalina Harbor.
"Junie and I just want to be by ourselves," Dick said to friends before they went away. "Sometime during the evening of August 19 th we'll open a bottle of champagne and drink a toast to those ten years of the past — and to the next ten years, and more, of the future."
Let the gossips take that and *har.'
Personal to MARLA ENGLISH
■ Do you know, girl, I'm kind of proud of you. Oh, I know Paramount suspended you for turning down the lead opposite Spencer Tracy in The Mountain because you're too deeply in love with Bud Pennell to leave him for the three months it will take to shoot the picture in France.
A lot of girls think you are crazy. Most young actresses would jump out a window if it meant the opportunity to work with the one and only Spence.
But, with you, love came first. And I can't see what's so awful about that.
To me (maybe I'm an incurable romantic), it makes you warm and human and very womanly to give up something big in your career because of the man in your life.
Ofttimes I look at the faces of these young girls in Hollywood who give up everything for their careers and I find something very unpleasant written there. Too much ambition, too much deliberation, too much hardness for youth.
Before you turned down the Tracy picture, I know you worked very hard to get the romantic lead in the movie for Bud, official name, Larry Pennell. When that part went to Bob Wagner, you bowed out, too.
To me, it's rather nice to hear that Cupid has won out over Ambition, for a change. If Paramount is listening, it may even make a better actress of you.
I just hope, too, that Bud appreciates what you have done and that he loves you as much as you love him.
Cupid, take a bow!
