Photoplay (Jan-Jun 1963)

“Now,” said my friend, suddenly barely moving his lips, “if you will look just a little to the left, back there, seated on those camp chairs — you will see Liz and Burton. That’s right. To the left. Talking. Do you see them? Good. Ah, a little action. Look, she’s bringing her hand up and running it through his hair. Well, you’re decidedly privileged, old chap. I mean, do you realize that you have just seen Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton in the midst of a true-life little love scene? Oh, oh,” he said then suddenly. “She’s begun to look this way. Straight at you. Don’t be perturbed. But be prepared to move. That woman has a sixth sense about these things. Right now she can probably give your initials, your age, and your occupation — journalist. I think . . . that ... we had better ... go. Now!” And so we turned. And so we began to walk very fast. And so we were out of there as quickly as we had entered. “Well,” asked my friend, as the door behind us slammed shut, “what did you think of her. Rather beautiful, what?” “What?” I asked back, nodding. “I said — ” my friend repeated. And he went on to say what he’d been saying. But he really needn’t have bothered. Because I really didn't hear what he was saying, anyway. I was, let’s say, feeling very dazed at that moment. Like a guy, let’s say, who had just seen Elizabeth Taylor! —Michael Joya Liz and Dick are in 20th’s “Cleopatra,” and M-G-M’s “Very Important Persons.” TONY CURTIS Continued from page 50 He looked at the ceiling absently as his friend checked the knot of his tie, the position of the carnation, the roll of his coat lapel. “Tony, you really look like a bridegroom. You’re ready, all right.” “Fve been ready for months,” Tony said. Another friend walked into the room to announce that it was almost 6 p.m., the time for the ceremony. It was 5:57 p.m. February 8, 1963. In three minutes Tony Curtis, one of the ten most popular movie stars in the world, would be a husband for the second time in his life. Christine is ready Down the corridor a milk-skinned girl of eighteen chattered with her matrons of honor. Only a fine ear could detect the German accent in her English words. Suddenly Christine Kaufmann stopped talking. She fussed silently with the stray strands that came away from the pouf of hair encircling the crown of her head. Then she carefully examined the bangs that covered her forehead, parting them first at one side and then the other. “I think I’ll just let it hang naturally,” she said, finally, with a sigh. She fluffed the bangs again, stood back from the mirror and smoothed her skirt down over her hips. Then she turned to her matrons of honor and said, “All right, I’m ready.” In the other room Tony’s nerves had started to work on him. Restlessly he balanced first on one leg, then the other. “Is it time?” he asked of Kirk Douglas, the best man. “No, no. Well tell you. As soon as Chri — ■** One of the men in the wedding party stuck his head through the doorway. “Okay, Tony, let’s go.” Kirk took one last look at Tony’s clothes. opened the door wide, bowed slightly and said, “You’re on, Tony.” Tony walked down the short hallway. He was calm now. He entered the large living room of the Royal Suite and took his place with Kirk beside Superior Court Judge George Marshall, who performed the ceremony. A few seconds later, preceded by the Matron of Honor, Mrs. Kirk Douglas, Christine quietly walked in. As she came before the Judge, she smiled at him and then, still smiling, turned to Tony. He stepped to her side. In the simple words of a civil pronouncement, the Judge made them husband and wife. When it was over there was one almost imperceptible instant of silence as Christine gazed tenderly at the wide gold wedding ring Tony had slipped on her finger. Then she looked up at Tony. They kissed and Tony’s love for her was in his lips and in his arms. As we observed the new Mr. and Mrs. Tony Curtis it was difficult for us not to think of Janet. None of the guests had spoken her name, and if any memory of Janet crossed their minds, they did not mention it. But it is hard to believe that Tony’s friends could have resisted a few thoughtful comparisons. You can compare Christine to Janet, but there is really only one quality which the ex-wife and the new wife have in common. They are both beautiful women. The bride and the mother-in-law Lhiderstanding Christine is not easy. She is almost devoutly European, but because of her start as an actress at the age of four and the long years of mingling with many nationalities in making movies, Christine, on the surface at least, has reflected little of the rigid Germanic points of view in her philosophies. She is warm with her friends yet cool to strangers. When she is introduced to someone new, you can see in her eyes the speed and efficiency with which she asseses an individual. Her opinions of others are not irrevocable, but they are made quickly and not easily revised. Her love for her mother, for example, according to one member of the wedding party, “is pure devotion.” It was this relationship, incidentally, that figured prominently in her year-long courtship with OPPORTUNITIES FOR YOU For ad rates, write PCD 549 W.
