WAIF Whisper Ball benefited Jane’s pet project, got glamour turnout. Above, Jane, Bob Water field and Dinah Shore “To Hell and Back” preem attracts the big brass! Audie Murphy, Pam, with Fort Ord commander, Maj. Gen. Mudgett The Jerry Lewises, Vic Damone, at Deb Star Ball. But big event for Jerry will be the birth of their baby in February to get a long rest, “even if I have to take a suspension.” In the meantime, he’s trying to finish furnishing his house. Returning home from one shopping tour, he walked in and found Phyllis Gates looking like a mammy singer! It seems that while she was cooking dinner for Rock, leaves from an overhanging tree fell into the chimney and filled the place with black smoke. So they cleaned and scrubbed until dawn. Those shillelaghs Rock bought in Ireland are anchored on the fireplace — “Handy to reach when guests happen to forget to go home,” grins the big fellow. Brief Moment: Contrary to a ridiculous rumor, James Dean had every desire to live. This past year, Jimmy had grown closer to his estranged father and was beginning to feel he “be longed.” Psychiatry was also helping him to mellow. Says Dick Clayton, his agent-friend who knew him best: “Jimmy was very thrilled about his new million-dollar contract and doing the Rocky Marciano story. Born lonely, he was confused at times and. as a result, his behavior was unorthodox. But every day he lived he struggled to improve. There was only goodness in Jimmy Dean’s heart.” On the Town: Kim Novak insists that Mac Krim is still the guy in her life. Her dates with Frank Sinatra have been purely to publicize their movie, “The Man with the Golden Arm.” . . . Number one sneak-preview hounds, Ben Cooper and Natalie Wood, are sneakpreviewing together. . . . And Susan Hayward had her “friend” Don Barry by her side at the sneak preview of “I'll Cry Tomorrow.” The audience cried all over Susie! Girls-ville: Hollywood was surprised when June Ally son and Doris Day became intimate friends. The Dick Powells and Marty Melchers hope to make a movie together. Doris wants to dance in it and Junie wants to sing! To Cal from Tony Curtis: “Just want you to know I’m still in Paris swinging on that ‘Trapeze.’ Burt Lancaster and Lollobrigida have been great to me. I love the people here, but I’m so homesick for a hamburger I can taste it. Wait until you hear me parlez-vous with a Brooklyn accent. It’s the craziest! Now that Janet’s back from shooting in Africa I feel better. That girl sure is my life. Best to you, Hollywood and Vine. Always, ‘Pierre Schwartz.’ ” Continued 17
