Photoplay (Jan-Jun 1957)

THAT’S HOLLYWOOD FOR WON’T YOU LISTEN? You hear it from your friends . . . you read it in the Tampax columns . . . and still you won’t accept the advantages of Tampax® internal sanitary protection. You turn your head away. You stubbornly cling to an outmoded point of view. Actually, Tampax was invented by a doctor for the benefit of all women. Millions use it; millions enthuse about it. You’re no different from any of them. — listen to their point of view about Tampax. Women like the comfort of Tampax; it can’t even be felt when it’s in place. Women like the discreetness of Tampax; no bulges, no ridges, no telltale outlines. Women like the daintiness of Tampax; it’s convenient to carry, easy to insert and change — and it absolutely prevents odor from forming. In every possible way— from the fact it can be worn in shower or tub to its ease of disposal — Tampax is a far nicer way of handling "those days.” Listen. Consider. And you’ll want to try Tampax. That’s all it takes — just a try. Choose from Regular, Super or Junior absorbencies wherever drug products are sold. Give Tampax a chance! Tampax Incot; porated, Palmer, Mass. Invented by a doctor — now used by millions of women Jayne, “the fact is tl;at I grew my own figure.” . . . I’ll wager that Joan Blackman is going to be one of next year’s movie star's! . . . When asked what was her greatest struggle. Joan Collins told the interviewer: “Getting into my tight evening dress.” I m waiting to see Kirk Douglas play a modest, naive fellow, such as Tony Perkins portrays offscreen. . . . Jane Russell in “The Fuzzy Pink Nightgown” (alluring for a marquee) plays a movie actress who is mysteriously lured and kidnapped. While making the picture Jane never realized the same role would make a star out of Marie McDonald. . . . I’ve grown accustomed to Natalie Wood, and am becoming fonder and fonder of her. . . . But what’s with Nick Adams? He hasn't ever met a friend who doesn’t happen to be a celebrity — and without the celebrity becoming subject of a gushy magazine article. . . . When Rossano Brazzi was last visiting here, he told me he doesn’t object to a touch of feminine temperament. “I love the beauty in a woman’s face when she flares up as much as I admire her look of regret after it has happened.” . . . June Allyson could get to be known as the retread actress. June played the lead in “You Can’t Run Away from It” (originally “It Happened One Night”) and now she’s doing the remake of “My Man Godfrey.” ... If the marquee advertised Luis Antonio Damaso de Alonso, you’d be seeing your old friend Gilbert Roland. . . . Two Western stars who ride horses best are John Wayne and Joel McCrea. both of whom were raised and attended school in Hollywood. ... I’d like to see Janet Leigh get the glamour treatment and June Allyson and husband Dick Powell seem quite content with her “ retreads ” YOU Continued sex build-up. She has the natural equipment to be a prominent movie star. . . . I watched Mike Todd eating popcorn at the movies. . . . Kim Novak’s stardom continues to shine brighter. Yet Kim will admit she’s no smartie-pants. “Somehow I managed to graduate from high school, but I think the fact I had a lot of male teachers helped.” Shirley MacLaine has yet to do anything in a movie as good as her screen test. When Shirley does, it’ll be a riot. ... At a party, I always enjoy sitting at the same table with Debbie Reynolds and Eddie Fisher. . . . The first man to build a borne in Beverly Hills (year, 1907) was Burton E. Green, who named the community after a place called Beverly Farms in Massachusetts. . . . Mamie Van Doren would like you to know she has no secret formula to make her hair the shade it is. “Zsa Zsa once Tab Hunter believed he could sing, has proved it. Jan Chaney’s happy for him tried to get it from my hairdresser.” . . . Meanwhile Miss Gabor advises the gals: “A man prefers his girl friend to be just bright enough to realize what a bright person he is.” I wonder if Rock Hudson still acts like a movie fan about Lana Turner. . . . Incidentally, U-I has them both signed and could co-star them in a picture, which would be smart! . . . The United States of America celebrates Eva Marie Saint’s birthday with her. Because she’s a regular Yankee Doodle Dandy, born on the Fourth of July. . . . Two boys outside the Rodeo School on the sidewalks of Beverly Hills: “How’s your father?” “Why do you ask?” “Because last year he was my father.” That’s Hollywood for you.
