PERSONAL OPINIONS One divorce they won't be able to blame on. Hollywood is Haya Harareet (she's the femme star of Ben Hur) and her husband Nacheman Zerwanitzer. She very quietly divorced him in Paris before she arrived in movietown. . . . Methinks that dating between Frank Sin ' atra and Debbie (Mrs. Tyrone) Power was more enthusiastic on her part than on his. . . . Wonder why so many stars on the Emmy Awards wore black? When I appeared on Ed Murrow's Person to Person I was asked particularly not to wear black for the TV cameras. . . . With sizzling singer Fabian signed to a contract by 20th Century-Fox 'pears this studio is out to corner the market on the teenage favorites. Count 'em: Pat Boone, Elvis Presley, Gary Crosby, Linny Crosby, sixteen-year-old Judy Harriet (the studio expects her to be a wow after Say One For Me is released), Sal Mineo — and Tommy Sands made two for 20th before asking for his release. . . . Although they are playing it very cozy, look for James Darren and Evy Norlund. Columbia's two new bets for stardom to marry as soon as Jimmy is legally free. He cracked, "We don't want to rush into marriage. We'll probably wait two or three days after I'm free." . . . It wasn't mononucleosis that struck Doris Day and cancelled her East Coast personal appearance tour, as the papers headlined. Doris did have intestinal flu and a fever of 103. I also think she's never fully recovered from her old dread of meeting the public face to face. . . . The divorce of Marlon Brando and Anna Kashfi can never be called 'friendly.' When they met by accident, in different parties, at a local cafe, both looked the other way! Haya's divorce isn't Hollywood's favlt. Marriage for James and Evy? Marlon (here with Joan Collins) doesn't look when Anna passes. Pat went Sprawling Don't worry about Pat Wayne (John's good-looking actor son) ever getting a swelled head. His sense of humor is too strong according to a friend who accompanied Pat and producer C. V. "Sonny" Whitney to Cody, Wyoming, for the preview of The Young Land. "About three hundred teenagers were gathered at the train to greet Pat," said our mutual friend. "He was very proud and pleased — then, boom — his foot slipped on the pullman step and he fell sprawling at their feet! Then he started laughing so hard at his undignified entrance that he couldn't even get up. Just stayed there on his derriere and roared!" Twins for Jerry? The doctor says Patti and Jerry Lewis may have twins. There's a history of twins on both sides of the family. With four boys already on hand, it would be a nice way toward evening up the score if two little girls should arrive. "But if it isn't a girl (or girls) this time," Jerry tells me, "we are going to adopt one." 17
