INSIDE STUFF The Ladds: Alan and Sue Ladd could well be that homey, happy married couple you hear on the radio. With Alan on the alert about Sue’s calories in an attempt to help her shed extra poundage and Sue’s subtle evasions, “the Life and Times of Sue and Alan” could be quite a show. At a recent dinner party in their home, Sue’s table was set with an extra-large centerpiece. It wasn’t until Alan realized Sue was accepting a second helping of cake, that he caught on. No more centerpieces for Sue to hide behind from then on. Incidentally, little David Ladd is a Hopalong Cassidy fan, complete with cowboy boots, hat, holster and gun that almost reaches his feet as he tears over the newly waxed floors, unmindful of his daddy’s warnings. And then one day it happened. Up flew Hopalong’s feet and down he went. Gathering himself up, he grinned at Alan and said, “I flipped on the floor.” When Alan explained that would be something the real Hopalong would never do, there was no more chasing over waxed floors.

Ronald Reagan attended the party his ex-wife Jane Wyman gave for their daughter Maureen’s eighth birthday, and danced almost the whole evening with his happy little girl.
