INSIDE STUFF — Televiewers saw preview of Gold Medal affair over NBC-TV’s Lux Video Theatre, when editor Ann Higginbotham presented Gold Medals to 20th head Buddy Adler for top film, “ Love is a Many-Splendored Thing”; Bill Holden as top actor of year; Deborah i Kerr, who accepted for top actress Jennifer Jones Among the many parties given for publisher Irving Manheimer and his wife was one hosted by Buddy Adler , head of 20th Century-Fox, at the studio, where the visitors from New York met many of 20th’s stars P His And Hers: While everyone from coast to coast was searching madly for Shirley Jones recently, she was sitting ringside at the Versailles in New York!

On another evening, Sue and Alan Ladd (who throw the most divine sit-down dinners for fifty persons that we’ve ever attended) honored the Manheimers with a star-studded guest list. Jennifer Jones and David 0. Selznick; Fred MacMurray and June Haver; Edmund O’Brien and wife Olga San Juan; Doris Day and Marty Melcher, were just a few who attended.
