Photoplay (Jan-Jun 1961)

ONLY DIE-HARDS DON'T DARE! Who’d ever think you’d see a divided skirt on city streets— and one that looks smart as paint! Who’d ever think that girls could dye their hair blond as readily as their mothers used to color their lips? Who’d ever think that eye make-up would be the daytime craze of the ’60s? Who’d have ever thought — twenty-five years ago — that millions of girls would be using billions of Tampax. Only die-hards don’t dare! Tampax® internal sanitary protection is such a clear-cut improvement! There’s no bulk, no chafing, no irritation. Why, you aren’t even aware you’re wearing Tampax! Odor can’t form. Disposal problems vanish. You can even bathe or shower wearing Tampax. Tampax is actually neat and quick to insert with its satin-smooth applicator. And a package of 10 costs only 45?! in your choice of any absorbency: Regular, Super or Junior. Don’t be a die-hard! Join the millions who do use Tampax. You’ll be more than glad you did.

THAT'Q HOLLYWOOD FOR YOU I'll bet Marilyn Monroe gives a tine performance in “The Misfits,” although I haven't seen the picture as yet, MM always works well under stress. . . . Bing Crosby shouldn't make movies in color. They make him look older. . . . Producers finally are doing away with the double feature. They’re making movies like “Ben-Hur,” “Spartacus,” “The Alamo, etc., which are double features in themselves. ... So why doesn't Tuesday Weld get a role that'll demonstrate she can act? I’m surprised how rapidly New York stage actors are regarded as typical Hollywood movie stars. I found myself doing this when I met Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward at a party. . . . And there’re many others such as Marlon Brando, Tony Perkins and Eva Marie Saint. GIVE BOBBY A CHANCE They haven’t placed a new pair of footprints into the forecourt of Grauman’s Chinese Theater for a long time. . . . Quotable Quote from Audrey Hepburn: “When I don’t dance, I get fat in the wrong places.” What are the right places? I wonder what Jayne Mansfield thinks of Mami Van Doren and vice versa. Now how did vice get there? . . . Quotable Quote from Bobby Darin: “Give me a chance. I’m young. I’m sure to outgrow those minor faults a few critics have found with me.” I wonder if Elvis Presley thinks he’s still in the Army when he addresses his manager. Colonel Parker. . . . Steve McQueen is always racing down the hill from his Nichols Canyon home to buy Chinese food and take it home because his wife (Neile Adams) wants it. The truth is Mister McQueen wants it for himself. Isn't this a switch? WHO’S SCARING JANET LEIGH? Zsa Zsa adores the word adore. . . . I’m informed that even Janet Leigh was scared by “Psycho,” and she’s in it. . . . The perfect combination would be Vic Damone’s voice with Frank Sinatra’s delivery and understanding of a song — this combination would be hard to beat! I believe that one out of ten movies filmed abroad actually had to be shot away from Hollywood. I’m for the return of the Made In Hollywood label on movies. . . . Hope Lange believes that one of her drawbacks is that she brings out company manners in people when first meeting them. . . . Robert Stack, TV’s Elliot Ness, defines worry as the interest you pay on trouble before and if it comes. Gardner McKay doesn’t behave like a movie star, and he isn’t. . . . I’m always puzzled when I see France Nuyen going to the movies alone, because she doesn't have to be alone. ... A group of Hollywood merchants paid for “The Sidewalk of the Stars,” and now are objecting because the people look down at the stars with the engraved names instead of window shopping. . . . Burt Lancaster admits he has a temper, but also admits he doesn’t harbor a grudge. I know Kim Novak’s house is beautiful, but it doesn’t appear lived in. . . . Debbie Reynolds doesn’t know if she’s in a good mood or not when she arises. It takes her about half an hour to actually know — Harry Karl please take note of this. Nobody deliberately sets out to make a bad movie, but they succeed, don’t they? . . . Quotable Quote from Tony Curtis: “I hear all about the successes from the Actors’ Studio, but I never read about the fellows who didn’t make it.” I've never seen Karl Malden, Arthur Kennedy or E. G. Marshall give a bad performance. ... I never thought I’d know an actor who was brother-in-law of the President of the United States. Well — That’s Hollywood For You! —SIDNEY SKOLSKY Audrey Hepburn
