Judy Garland’s entire booking at Harrah’s (Lake Tahoe) was a complete sellout before she opened, so she must have really been pretty ill not to finish the date. Empty tables often is “the illness” that causes some stars to cancel out — but Judy came on stage to standing ovations in her first weeks there. She is still a Big Star and when she quits — she is ill. Some of us cannot understand why Judy takes on a weekly TV program as she had done with CBS for next year. The grind is a healthwrecker and she hasn’t too much health to wreck.
Add things I didden know either: That Sophia Loren’s mother once won 1st Prize in a contest titled: “Greta Garbo’s Double.” . . . Steve McQueen (he recently filmed “The Great Escape” in Munich) came home to report: “If you listen to most ex-German soldiers, they’d have you believe they were either on the Russian Front when the concentration camps were running full blast, or they were ambulance drivers.” Yah-yah. . . . Little Claire Wilcox, seven, stole “40 Pounds of Trouble” from star Tony Curtis, I thawt. She had the title role. Critics adored this tot and their acclaim is now paying off big. Her next assignment will be to play the role of Shirley MacLaine’s daughter in “First Wife.” Happy showbiz to you, young lady.

Which suspense writer is JFK’s favorite? His intimates told us Ian Fleming is. You may have enjoyed Fleming’s hit picture “Dr. No.” They say the writer also tops the President as a rapid reader. “Fleming goes through four books simultaneously!”
Ocomonow !
Producer David Merrick, who has fought with most of the critics on both Coasts (and in between) now has the British reviewers upsetting him. Merrick’s “Carnival” was a two-year hit in New York. Prospered in Chicago, too, and elsewhere.
But when it opened in London, recently, they hammered it. The critic for the London Express sarcasm’d: “The New York drama critics voted ‘Carnival’ the best musical of the year. I’m worried about America.”
Mr. Merrick is the one to worry about. It was following their raves about “Carnival” that he started feuding with them!

We have a real backstage melodrama in Our Town. An opera star is a physical and mental wreck over a long affair with an opera exec that ended when he up and married another. The star gave him several years. She now knows he won’t leave his wife and her great agony has necessitated medical care. Intimates are fearful that she will commit suicide. No role she has had on the operatic stage is as sad as the part she is playing off stage right now.
