Photoplay (Jan-Jun 1955)

Inside Stuff ( Continued from page 37) Alberghetti is now allowed to have unchaperoned escorts and Ben Cooper is her number-one choice. On their first date the captivating couple went to Ciro’s for ice cream! It’s the Truth: That Jane Powell’s congratulatory wire wasn’t the first to reach former husband Geary Steffen when he married singer Anne Salva! . . . That Audrey Hepburn and Mel Ferrer finally decided it’s much wiser to wait until they’ve been married longer, before merging as a professional team. . . . That Dale Robertson is impatient for his freedom and anxious to marry Mary Murphy (she’s weary of waiting!), which is why he filed a cross complaint to his wife’s year-old divorce action. . . . That neither VeraEllen or Mitzi Gaynor are expecting the stork and their studios are that relieved! Talented Tourists: As a surprise for Doris Day, one of those dreamy little cars will be waiting at the dock when she arrives in Europe. Marty Melcher even had it painted Doris’ favorite powder blue. . . . And if Tony Curtis can arrange it, when Janet Leigh finishes “Pete Kelly’s Blues,” they’ll take a long trip. Cary Grant gave Tony the name of a slow freighter that only accommodates a handful of passengers. No one has to make polite conversation or dress for dinner. And there are no daily gossip columns to curdle the coffee — this Tony likes best of all! Personal to Texas: No, you weren’t seeing double! That was Rock Hudson who went along for the ride with director George Stevens who was scouting “Giant” locations — and incidentally, getting better acquainted with his star. Speaking of el Rocko, when U-I sent him to the Chicago premiere of “Captain Lightfoot” recently, he wired fan-club president Myron Welge in Missouri (they had never met) and invited him to Chicago. Rock entertained Myron and thirty club members backstage. Back in Hollywood he considerately confided to Cal: “I met a wonderful group of people, but one girl worried me. Her camera wouldn’t work and she was so disappointed. Of course I didn’t mind, but on my next trip I’ll pose for her specially!” No wonder Hudson rolls along so successfully! Silver Lining: Rory Calhoun is a happy man! He now has everything, including peace of mind. But by sad and strange coincidence he punished himself unnecessarily for years. It wasn’t generally known that Francis Timothy Durgin got into scrapes that landed him in reform school. There were contributing circumstances, and although the callow youth grew into an exemplary citizen, helping countless unfortunates along the way, he still had a guilt complex about his past. Many Hollywood reporters (including Cal) knew Rory’s story, but respecting his sensitivity, kept silent. Now comes the blessing in disguise! One of those “expose” magazines has told all. In so doing, instead of hurting Rory, they’ve actually released him from fear and the nice, deserving guy never has to worry again! Did You Know: That Jean Simmons and Stewart Granger exchange weekly diaries while he’s in India making “Bhowani Junction” and she’s in Hollywood in “Guys and Dolls”? . . . That Tab Hunter hasn’t missed a Sunday morning in church since his sixteenth birthday? It’s a fact. The End WITH YOUR BARGAIN PHOTOPLAY SUBSCRIPTION! Fabulous Candid Photos Free!
