I'M ON MY SOAP BOX.
It's not surprising that Jimmy Stewart was upset when he heard about Kim Novak's first decision . . .
But Kim — like every woman's allowed to! — changed her mind again. And everyone was so happy that she did. Including Kim, 'cause her boss gave her a special kind of 'thank-yon.'
... to say that in my book, Kim Novak proved herself a smart girl and a real pro by changing her mind and reporting to work in Amongst The Dead with Jimmy Stewart after she had been put on suspension by her home studio, Columbia, for at first refusing to do the picture because she wanted an adjustment in her contract. That means — more money.
When it looked as if Kim would not do Amongst The Dead, it was a terrible blow to Alfred Hitchcock and Jimmy Stewart. The picture was set to roll on the Paramount lot, 1 the supporting cast had been signed and an | enormous amount of money looked like it was 1 going down the drain.
Jimmy Stewart said, "I've seldom been more | upset about anything. There are weeks and | "weeks of preparation before any film is ready | to put before the cameras and now it ap1 pears this has all been in vain. My next 1 production is not ready and this will mean a I tremendous loss of time for me." i Whether Kim read or heard Jimmy's words,
1 I wouldn't know. But something decidedly 1 changed her mind. She notified Hitchcock and 1 Paramount that she would do the picture 1 and report on time.
1 And may I say that she went high, high,
1 high in everyone's estimation by this act — 1 including Hitchcock and Stewart. | The story has a happy ending because her
| contract boss, Harry Cohn of Columbia, is | so pleased with her he notified her agent 1 immediately that Kim would receive a raise 1 plus the dividend of a beautiful new home, I something she has never had. 1 Let me say again, Kim — you have proven
1 yourself a thoughtful and intelligent girl, not 1 a spoiled movie queen. More success to you!

I PREDICT WEDDING BELLS...
. . . sometime during this new year, for Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward — what a good actress she is in Three Faces Of Eve.
Paul's divorce should be final sometime in the spring and that he and Joanne are in love is no secret — and hasn't been for a long, long time.
She made a funny crack about which of the three 'personalities' she plays in Three Faces Of £ve was the most difficult for her: the good girl, the bad girl, or the normal girl.
"The normal girl," cracked Joanne. "I'm not at all that way myself, you know."
NO MORE COMMERCIALS FOR OSCAR
Hurray, hurray and a couple of hallelujahs. The motion picture industry, of course through The Motion Picture Academy Of Arts And Sciences, is going to finance its own Academy Awards Night next year — which should have been done years ago. No more long-drawnout commercials, no more untimely interruptions while an outside sponsor takes over to plug a new automobile.
I sincerely believe you fans are in for a great treat when you see the Oscar Show next time. Every effort will be made to make this the biggest tv program ever beamed out of Hollywood. Expenses will be paid by all members of the motion picture industry who make a profit out of films.
