Photoplay (Jan-Jun 1962)

ist — unless he exceeds the speed of the other cars. During the bumper-to-bumper rush hour, of course, cars will only crawl along. No one can speed. The Police and Traffic Departments have promised to raise the limits, but are being held up by their own studies recently undertaken. Elsewhere in the Metropolitan New York area, speed limits range up to 60 mph on highways and expressways of similar construction and design as those in the city. And the survey, as it has been pointed out, indicates that Sal Mineo got two speeding tickets, five minutes apart, on a network of roads — the West Side Highway and Henry Hudson Parkway — on which almost everyone does at least 10 mph over the speed limit, and is never bothered by police. Sal Mineo indeed was unlucky t get nabbed twice in one day for what the cops have charged, in his case, was speeding. But we wonder — would he have been stopped at all if his name wasn’t Sal Mineo? Doing 54 or 53, we strongly doubt it. We think Sal has gotten a bum deal. — Georce Carpozi, Jr. Sal’s in "Exodus,” U.A. and will soon be seen in “Escape from Zahrain,” Par. Continued from page 49 in the Kremlin are scanning recent pictures of Liz. That’s how important this rumor is! And everyone, even beauty parlor operators, are saying knowingly, “What more can happen to that ill-starred picture?” The boys in outer space will tell you that it’s going to take at least a year to complete and release the historic epic. Now, if that rumor about Liz and the big bird is true, it will mean still another postponement for the picture at additional astronomical cost to 20th Century-Fox. Let's face it, 20th is already up to their eyebrows with banks and insurance companies, and Liz simply is not the kind of fair-weather actress to pull an Act-of-God stunt in the middle of a major studio’s financial crisis. I mean she’s simpatico and all that jazz — even if she does want her own hairdresser, her own makeup man, her own designer, her own director, dialogue writer and her own doctor over there. But look at it this way: If she s going to make Cleo the most unforgettable wench you’ve ever seen on the screen, let’s let her have her little idiosyncrasies and be grateful at that. But to get back to the rumor. I mean, that’s why you’re reading this, isn’t it? Well, this is probably the way it happened. Someone saw Liz in one of those voluminous cocktail dresses she affects, but really shouldn t, and her face and chin looked full in shadow. And since the dear girl isn’t in the habit of confiding in, or even conversing with, the scriveners of gossip and pure conjecture, they probably jumped to the conclusion that those no-waistline dresses, that undainty-like appetite could add up to only one thing nine months from now. That’s probably how the rumor was born. AH around the world As for how it got around the globe, well that s as easy as pizza to figure out. Someone —an overseas operator listening in on a bad Rome connection maybe — heard snatches of conversation about rumors, baby, yes, wonderful, we’ll let you know, and immediately spread the happy news to her friends, who soon spread it to theirs. Get the picture? Of course, she is gaining weight. (Liz, you dope, not the overseas operator.) She’s taken on at least ten pounds if my X-ray eyes can add avoirdupois properly. Now you know that gaining weight is easy in Italy. Ask Sophia Loren. The thing of it is that that pasta is soooo delicious and soooo nutritious. And when your doctor tells you to start eating, girl, I mean a girl ought to listen to her doctor, shouldn’t she? Especially when she’s paying him all that money and bringing him over to Italy and all that. And Dr. Kennamer wouldn’t take any fee if Liz didn’t pay him any mind. For heaven’s sake, he wouldn’t be paying house calls a continent away if he didn’t think he could help his star patient. I mean he has lots of other bright lights for patients back in Hollywood, and he wouldn’t just leave them all stranded without aspirin and advice — just for a jaunt to Italy. He’s been at her side on business. Serious, keep-alive-and-healthy business. Make no mistake about it! So my dears, when the good and good-looking young bachelor medico tells Liz to eat plenty of pasta, she eats! And when she eats all those oh-so-divine dishes and washes it all down with the marvelous vino de tavolo (water is taboo in Italy even for washing teeth), she is just following doctor’s orders. Because, you know there’s lots of location work to be done in Italy, Egypt and England, and winter came on like gangbusters, and a girl has to be well insulated to withstand that rugged foreign weather. One simply has to be careful! Particularly a gal as cold-catching as our Miss T. But to get back to the rumor (the one about Liz being pregnant). Well, it seems she and Eddie are playing it real cozy (between themselves) and real cooool to everyone else. They won’t say yes, they won’t say no. Which means they aren't saying anything, if you’re any kind of psychoanalytic buff. But do you blame them? In the meanwhile, Eddie just loves squiring his superlative squaw to the best beaneries over there. Why they even have violinists following them out to their little old limousine. Isn t it all just too “Love in the Afternoon” and all that? Ihink! Just think what that picture can do for the violinist! Why he’ll be playing in Lester Lanin’s society band at the April-in-Paris Ball next year, if you understand these esoteric who-killed-society-type jokes. So there you are, kiddies. You can get ready to put this magazine back on the coffee table for a while. The facts are these : Liz is gaining weight ... on doctor’s orders! And oh, yes, don’t forget this.
