Big NightGolden Globe Awards
Hollywood's Foreign Press handed out its annual accolades at a brilliant night at the Cocoanut Grove.
I'll be honest and admit I had special interest in the event this year as I was honored with a Golden Globe (more about this later), and also was honored by being invited to present the most important awards of the evening, "the world's most popular actor and actress."
Despite the blues of the strike, every star in Hollywood turned out dressed to the teeth to either receive an award or to present one.
Photographers had a field day snapping Bing Crosby and Kathy. Marilyn Monroe, and Debbie Reynolds and Glenn Ford making their first appearance as a 'date' in public.
Bing and Kathy came late, left early. I doubt if Emily Post would approve, but Bing made his "Thank You" speech (he won the C. B. De Mille Memorial Award for greatest contribution to entertainment): then he grabbed his Globe with one hand and Kathy with the other and ran, didn't walk, for the exit. Oh, well — Bing always has been a social law unto himself.
On the other hand, a model of politeness was Debbie Reynolds who conspicuously applauded Elizabeth Taylor's winning "best actress of the year" award (Suddenly, Last Summer^. Debbie looked beautiful in pale green chiffon and Glenn patted her hand encouragingly when she got up to make one of the presentations. Glenn is very sweet with Debbie — but gossip is his heart is elsewhere.
Doris Day won "the most popular actress in the world" Globe and she wore a highfashion ankle-length cream-colored moire
gown with a matching jacket lined in sable! I was very flattered at being asked to present her Globe to Doris — and later to Rock Hudson as "the most popular actor."
The evening was well underway when Marilyn Monroe arrived and the room was darkened except for the lights on the dais, but with a small army of photographers making a dash for her we were not long unaware of MM's presence. She looked like a poster girl in a long white dress cut low with gobs of white fox around her shoulders. Marilyn won her Globe for "the best comedy performance by a woman" in Some Like It Hot.
But the real comedy hit of the evening was Jayne Mansfield, whose opening line, coming on the heels of the strike, "I'm glad to be working again," brought down the house although most of us were laughing with tears in our hearts, I'm afraid. . . .
There was some mix-up about Rock Hud
