Just drop dead.” Linda’s relationship with Glenn wasn’t always as explosive. “Just before Christmas,” she said, “he called me for a date. We started going out together on a steady basis. He told me that Hope (Lange) was out of his life forever.” Apparently at the time of the “engagement for one edition” ruckus, Hope was out of his life. When queried for a comment about Linda and Glenn. Hope without cracking a smile said: “I know absolutely nothing about it. But Glenn doesn’t have to explain anything to me.” Some insiders feel that Glenn originally started dating Linda Christian to make Hope jealous. This could be. Just when it appeared that Glenn and Linda were the right chemistry for each other around the first of the year, the actor dropped her like she was a feline at a dog show. Originally, Linda was to be the hostess at the housewarming he gave. She wasn't. It was Hope Lange who dominated Mr. Ford’s attentions that evening, although Linda was very much in attendance. The stares she gave Glenn and Hope were enough to make it snow on the Sahara Desert. And Linda must have had quite a laugh, too. when Hope and others were conducted on a tour of the house by Glenn. In one of the bathrooms was the famous nude statue of Linda. She had given it to him as a present. Asked about Hope being at the party, Linda coldly remarked later to a reporter, “I didn’t even notice her. In my mind she doesn't exist.” Another nonexister. Glenn’s version The Ford faction give this account of that party: Hope acted as hostess that night, welcoming guests and looking very beautiful. Everyone wanted to see Glenn’s new house. Among the guests was producer Ronnie Lubin. Ronnie and Glenn were partners on “Love Is a Ball.” and he had phoned Glenn earlier and asked if in addition to his own date they might bring their friend Linda Christian. Now the story is that Linda had asked Ron Lubin to ask Glenn. She wanted to attend the party, she was intrigued. And during the festivities. Ronnie suggested that one night soon, the four have dinner together. That was supposed to be the beginning. None of Ford’s friends said if Linda’s statue was in his house before that beginning or not. Glenn took Linda to dinner a couple of times alone after that, then he left town, went to Las Vegas, New York and Chicago, with Hope to ballyhoo “Love Is a Ball.” When he returned he resumed his usual round of activities. One night he took Linda to the Luau for dinner and then for coffee at LaScala. Linda suggested the next night he come to her house, and she would cook wiener schnitzel. He came by for cocktails, they had dinner; he was in her house a total of an hour and a half, then had to dash because he wanted to catch the Golden Globe awards on TV and then watch the Steve Allen show on which he had already taped an appearance. Linda didn’t want to stay up late, she was working on the Lloyd Bridges show and had an early call. They’d had a lot of fun, a lot of laughs. The next morning Glenn was in for a surprise. He was “engaged.” It was the biggest surprise since the day he awakened in the barracks of the French Foreign Legion in Paris six years ago and remembered he’d enlisted! Linda Christian, as Ford can so amply testify by now, is no woman to trifle with, especially in the romantic department. She’s a woman of the world. Husbands number only the late Tyrone Power and actor Edmund Purdom. but she has had romances on many continents. However, Linda really fell for Glenn, according to one of her close friends. “All she talked about was Glenn,” the friend said. “The night he proposed she called me. She was ecstatic. Full of all kinds of plans. Told me they would honeymoon in Europe. Told me Glenn would build onto his home so they would have room for her daughters. “I concur with Linda. I think it’s terrible of Glenn to do a thing like this. I don't think Mr. Ford will go around proposing to anyone for a long, long time after this.” Glenn, who has said so little in his defense, has found a host of allies rallying to defend him. A close friend of Glenn’s: “Glenn never stands still long enough to he a moving target. He’s fast on his feet and Linda pulled a boner. She tried to hit him while he was moving. She was in too big a hurry — she should have gotten him in a more sedentary position.” Eleanor Powell. Glenn’s former wife, now his close friend: “Glenn, I’m coming over and build a fence around you, build a fence all around that house and not let you out. You get into nothing but trouble.” Hope Lange: “Glenn doesn’t have to explain anything to me. This would be pretty hard to misunderstand.” Columnist: “International playgirl Linda Christian is at it again.” Linda’s blast at Glenn went on for days. “If he wants to act like a kindergarten pupil,” she snapped, “he should start dating kindergarten pupils. He better not associate with grown women, especially the ones who are wise in the ways of the world. Just think, if I’d have gone to bed early that night 1 wouldn’t have wasted the evening with a kindergartener. I don’t think he’s even much of a gentleman.’ We’ve presented Linda Christian's story of how Glenn Ford betrayed her. We’ve presented Glenn Ford’s denial. Who should have the last word? Traditionally, the lady should, but in this case she has had more than equal time. One of Glenn’s friends sums up the betrothal farce this way: “Glenn likes to run the show. He likes to lead. Linda Christian never knew who he was. If she had. she’d have known the last thing he'd ever do is report a romance to a columnist. She’d have known the difference between a proposal and a proposition.’ To which Glenn adds only, “Good heavens, I don’t even like wiener schnitzel.” — Julia Corbin Glenn Ford stars in a new comedy. “The Courtship of Eddie’s Father,” for M-G-M.
