Nudging the News: The Alan Ladds were officially cited as Hollywood’s ideal married couple of the year, as Nick Stuart (one of Sue Ladd’s former husbands) made plans to return to the screen . . . Meanest robbers in the world relieved Linda Darnell and Jane Wyman of their furs and jewels, which resulted in both lovely ladies hiring night watchmen . . . Pier Angeli treated herself to a broken arm when she fell ten feet from rehearsing on a movie tightrope . . .

A discouraged Jack Palance (he played that fabulous killer in “Panic in the Streets”) was about to quit Hollywood cold when Joan Crawford selected him to play opposite her in “Sudden Fear” . . . “Across the Wide Missouri,” considered a lemon by critics, is cleaning up at the box office, while “Callaway Went Thataway” received rave notices and is laying an egg that has nothing to do with Easter!
Marilyn Monroe’s date at big party following “The African Queen” is RKO director, Nick Ray. He and Gloria Grahame are parting — via the divorce courts
