LOUELLA PARSONS in Hollywood Continued
AND A NEW BABY AT THE DEBBIE-EDDIE PALACE, TOO!
You never know what the stork is going to do. as Debbie Reynolds might well say. Here she was almost a whole year off the screen, between pictures; then just as she's ready to start work in For Love Or Money at U-I she and Eddie Fisher are expectant parents again.
Debbie was pregnant during the making of her last two films. Tammy And The Bachelor and — fittingly enough — in Bundle Of Joy which she made with Eddie at RKO. In the latter, she showed her condition so plainly that she played most of the picture wrapped in a concealing mink coat.
However, she is just four months pregnant starting For Love Or Money, so she expects to get through the entire film without having to resort to drapery or other disguises.
Of course the Fishers are hoping for a little boy to join their adorable Carrie Frances in the nursery.
IT WAS NICE TO SEE...
. . . some new winter fashions at the cocktail party MCA prexy Jules Stein and his beautiful wife Joris hosted at their estate, high on a hill in Bel Air. There were so many parties this . summer and so many summer clothes, it was almost a relief to find the gals back in hats and gloves again.
I'd no more than stepped into the entrance hall than I ran into Martha Hyer and Gene Kelly. Gene so seldom appears at a cocktail party, it was almost a news note.
Martha looked stunning in a big black hat, so very chic, framing her blonde hair. When I complimented her, she whispered, "Didn't have time to shampoo my hair, so the hat seemed to be a good idea."
Gene is always so pleasant, and does something few actors do. He thanked me for always being so nice to him whenever I mention him in print. Many actors take everything good for granted — and then sulk if the slightest criticism is printed.
Jane Wyman was another gal who looked like a fashion plate. For a time, when she was so very busy on her TV show last year, it didn't seem to be that Jane was too interested in her appearance.
But at the Steins', she looked like her former self — those cute bangs she used to wear and her dress such a becoming raspberry color, slightly off the shoulder.
And don't tell me this season's maternity clothes aren't smart. Monica Lewis, the singer — Mrs. Jennings Lang — is expecting a baby in just a few months, but her pale pink maternity skirt and over-blouse were so smart looking.
No one, thank heavens, had one of those awful looking 'sack' dresses Paris is advocating this season. I think Hollywood will stand on its own feet fashion-wise. At least, I hope so.
