Photoplay (Jan-Jun 1960)

Clarke, who's been Connie’s steadiest date for the past two years. And in case you’ve been wondering, Connie tells me she’s not the mysterious “friend” on Edd Byrnes’ new record. Wonder who that gal is? Edd, who feels he may have done too much talking already about his rumored engagement to Asa Maynor — both to Asa and the press — won’t say another word on either subject. Edd did tell me, though, of a fan who waited perched on the fenders of his car for five hours, waiting for him to return to where he’d parked. When she asked him for an autograph, Edd gave her one. And when she asked him for a kiss, Edd obliged again. “I’ll never wash my cheek again,” she screamed. “But I hope she has,” Edd laughed. “It’s been a dusty year.” Incidentally, cleaning up is the easiest thing in the world at the hootenanies the Kingston Trio give aboard Nick Reynolds’ houseboat. Everything goes over the side. And speaking of friends, Phil Everly is one. Phil, who likes to scoot out to Brooklyn on his Vespa to split spaghetti dinners with Lou Giordano, is also the fellow who coached Lou and then put up the money for the demo of Lou’s record, “Don’t You Know.” WHISPER— Things go wrong for Pat Boone: When Pat got out to Hollywood and fourod one of his daughters had the measles, he was worried. But he didn’t take it as an omen. After all, another daughter’d had the measles when they were out there last year. But what Pat didn’t know was that that was only the beginning. Next came a broken toe while filming “Journey to the Center of the Earth”; a few odd burns when he helped fight a fire that broke out on the lot; and then a tangle between easygoing Pat and an actress who saved her best scenes for offcamera. Guess he couldn’t help wondering if his first screen kiss was worth it, but Pat stayed calm through it all, which is the way he is. If one more thing had gone wrong, though, Pat might have wanted to take some advice from Johnny Mathis. “When things get too much,” says Johnny, “I hop in the car and drive to the edge of town. Then I park the car,” the former track star explains, “and just run and run.” SHOUT-Why doesn’t Duane Eddy speak up? Some of the fans have been getting the impression that Duane Eddy’s high-hatting them. It happens when they try to stop Duane coming out of a theater to talk to him. Trouble is, Duane’s just about the shyest guy in the business. It isn’t that he doesn’t want to have a gabsession with his fans, it’s just that he finds it hard to speak up. Some of his big hits this year have been giving Duane more confidence, though, so look for a thaw. And if you’re one of the people who’s been wondering why Duane sometimes doesn’t sing along with his records, the answer’s the same — he’s still too shy. Maybe Duane ought to practice with one of the “sing along” records that won so many fans for Mitch Miller this year. One of those fans even offered to buy Mitch’s beard. Mitch said he was willing to sell, but the price is $15,000. Any more offers? So, it’s goodbye to 1959 and a loud hello to 1960. I can only hope that for all of us it’s a year of peace, happiness and good health. Let’s do our best to make it that way. — DICK TV & MOVIE STAR PHOTOS Brand new stars and brand new pictures!
