That night, in Jerry’s tuxedo and with Janet looking like moonlight, we drove up in front of Carthay Circle Theater. It was my first Hollywood premiere and I felt my knees turning into jelly. When the fans in the bleachers screamed out our names — that finished me! “I’m going to die, Janet,” I gasped. Then I felt a small, quiet hand in mine. It squeezed encouragingly. “No, you’re not going to die,” she barely whispered. “The fans love you and want to see you. Let’s go over and talk to them.” I felt so useless, so inadequate standing there. I wanted to shout back — “What do you want from me? what can I do for you? Here, take my money — take everything!” Crazy things go through your head at an exciting time like this. I kept thinking, just five years ago it would have been me up there in the bleachers! How glad I am I had this experience in the beginning and, because of Janet, I’ll know what to do in the future. FOR MY role in “The Prince Who Was a Thief” I had to wear my hair longer. So the gang at the studio ribbed me, they called me “Romeo” and someone even sent me a prop violin! The day the picture started, when I walked on the set a chair with my name on it was standing there. Another gag, I thought. It’ll probably collapse when I sit in it. “You’re a star in this one, Tony,” they told me — and they weren’t kidding. I nearly died! That evening when I saw Janet, I told her how everyone kept trying to help me. Then a few days before the picture was finished, she called me. “I know how you feel about the people on the set,” she said. “But you can’t afford to give each one a present. So may I suggest that you write personal notes, instead of just saying thank you.” It was so thoughtful of her and it never would have occurred to me. I rushed out and ordered stationery with my name on it, yet! If only the kids back at P.S. 82 could get a load of me now, I wished. I broke myself up just thinking about it! Now that I know Janet, I get weak all over when I think how close I came to not knowing her. It was about eight months ago when a friend of mine was invited to a party given by the Sazerac people. Why didn’t I come along and we’d go to a movie later, he suggested. Well, across a crowded room (just like Pinza!) I saw this girl who suddenly made the evening seem enchanted. She was wearing a black dress, there was a bunthing on her head, and she was so superspecial, I couldn’t keep my eyes off her. When a cameraman asked if I’d mind posing with Janet Leigh, we were introduced and boom — it happened. I felt just like I’d been smacked with a steam roller! Before I left I found out who had brought her there. “What has Arthur Loew Jr. got that I should have?” I asked kiddingly. “Janet Leigh!” they came back at me. “I’ve got news for you,” I said. “I’m working on it!” The next time I saw Janet we were in the same class at the Actors’ Lab. For a month and a half I kept waiting for a chance to invite her to Schwab’s around the corner, for a cup of coffee. But there was always some ham hovering and I couldn’t make any progress. Finally, the Mel Tormes invited me to go swimming at Donald O’Connor’s house. When I heard Janet was coming, I was practically there before I learned another guy was bringing her. I ended up at the movies. When the Tormes had their housewarming, this time I went and took a date. Janet was there with her date and later asked us to stop by her house to watch television. There was a new class in acting that might be formed and we talked about it. When Janet said she was interested, I “casually” suggested that if she would give me her telephone number, I’d be glad to make inquiries and relay the information. I’m not a bit shamefaced when I say that the acting class never got started — but guess who did! For our first date I thought it was a good idea to also invite the Mel Tormes, so Janet and I wouldn’t have to pay too much attention to each other. Leave us face it, I wasn’t too sure of my luck — either! On our fifth date I asked Janet to go out with me alone. I couldn’t afford to take her to Ciro’s or Mocambo, but I didn’t apologize because somehow I knew it wasn’t necessary. Happily I remembered the Villa Nova, a crazy kind of an attractive place with very good food. I’d been there before with my friends Howard Duff and Mike Meshikow, so I knew I wouldn’t have too much trouble ordering. Later on we could go to a movie. Janet listened to the plans and loved them. What a girl, I sighed to myself. We were in business! In Hollywood after you’ve finished a picture and until you start another, they put you on “layoff.” Literal translation: “No money!” When they put me on layoff after “Kansas Raiders,” it made no difference as far as Janet was concerned.
