We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.
Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

Van Johnson got a clean bill of health after surgery for removal of a skin cancer, but it was a low spot for Van and he’s had a few of those in recent years. Last time I saw him he told me about the twelve months he spent in Switzerland doing nothing. “I found out the hard way,” he said, “that out of sight is out of mind. The phone didn’t ring for me. One night I was so low I felt like walking into Lake Geneva and thought, ‘Is this the way it’s going to end — just noth ing?’ ” His home here was sold minutes before it was to be put on the block by the Internal Revenue Department to pay up Van’s back taxes.
Warren Beatty assured me a year ago that he had no intention of trying to live up to the publicity that he’s “the biggest new name” in show business. “All I want to do is just be an actor,” he assured me.

After agreeing to star in “Youngblood Hawke” for a salary of $200,000 — an astronomical figure for a boy who’s done only three pictures — he waited until just before shooting was to start, then sent over a list
Sue Lyon decided acting was a snap, then persuaded her twenty-year-old brother Chris to give it a try. When she told him he could make as much in one day on TV as he could in a month at his service station job, he was sold. “If I can act,” Sue told him, “so can you. It’s easy — just do whatever the director tells you.” Her mother’s equally flexible. She didn’t take up smoking until she was fifty — ■ because she wanted to set a good example for the kids.
“But when my sons started smoking anyway,” she says, “I decided to join them.” Mama still insists that playing Lolita did her daughter no harm. She says Sue’s just a normal teen. Maybe she is, but she’s got more than a normal amount of talent
Max Schell was left all alone on a Swiss ski slope when exQueen Soraya heard Hugh O’Brian had arrived in Europe. Hugh dashed over to replace John Gavin in a picture and she dashed after him. Now that Soraya has a movie career of her own, she and Hugh should have more than ever in common.
Above: June Allyson brought Ricky and Pam Powell along on her first public appearance since Dick’s death. She looked tearyeyed all night. It took great courage for her to go — everything still reminds June of Dick. It must be very painful.
