directed by TROY - Most of you are probably too young to remember, but, believe it or not, there are some Photoplay readers who have been voting for their movie favorites for 39 years. That’s how many years the Photoplay Gold Medal has been awarded. And that’s why the Gold Medal awards are so very special — because they come straight from you. This year, you voted for: ROCK HUDSON: Rock, who won two Gold Medals for dramatic roles, wins his third for his way with comedy — and song! — in “Pillow Talk.” He’s serious again in “Day of the Gun” for U-I. DORIS DAY: Doris Kapplehoff and Roy Fitzgerald (Rock) started in movies at the same time, hut “Pillow Talk” is their first picture together. It wins Doris her second Gold Medal. Her next: “Please Don’t Eat the Daisies” for M-G-M (based on the best-seller). “PILLOW TALK’': This U-I comedy bubbled its way to three awards for its stars and itself. For the bright-hearted, light-handed touch, thank producers Ross Hunter and Martin Melcher (Doris’ husband) and director Michael Gordon. Watch for their next films. TROY DONAHUE: A six-foot-three New Yorker, Troy won your votes when you saw him with last year’s top newcomer, Sandra Dee, in Warners’ “A Summer Place.” You 11 see Troy, 23, next in Warners’ “The Crowded Sky.” MILLIE PERKINS: Your votes show director George Stevens he was right in picking Millie out of 10,225 girls for the lead role in 20th’s “Diary of Anne Frank.” Millie, 21, started as a model. 81
