Vici and Roger told me their news. What a wonderful reason for celebrating!
Close-Ups: The Smiths, Roger and his wife. Vici Shaw, came calling, abloom with news. “We’re hoping to have another baby before long,” they announced together. And to celebrate, the three of us set out for a steak and champagne dinner. ... I know I shouldn’t worry but 1 do. I wake up moaning over “that” star who carelessly gambled away $70,000 while on location in Las Vegas. And with a large family to support. Some people live in a rosy glow of fame with no thought of the future it seems. . . . It’s my personal opinion that Ava Gardner still hasn’t gotten over Frank Sinatra and keeps running away from that empty place in her heart. At his invitation, Ava occupied Frank’s home in Palm Springs while he was in Florida. After his return and a brief meeting between the two, Ava hopped in her car and took off for a quick trip to Mexico. She was in such a hurry, she grabbed two traffic tickets in the first hour. Like Lauren Bacall, Ava is a fugitive from love. Frankie’s love. . . . The Pat Boones caught up with Pier Angeli in Paris and carried her off to Venice for a taping of Pat’s TV show to be shown later. His European fans sure were surprised to see Pat. . . . Hollywood thought it strange of Shirley MaeLaine to leave her four-year-old daughter in nursery school in Japan, while Shirley made a movie in Hollywood. Especially since Shirley's husband. Steve Parker, was hospitalized over in Japan with hepatitis. And the more I’d thought about it, the more 1 thought it strange too. . . . I’d like to offer my congratulations to lovely Diana Lynn on the birth of her daughter, Dorothy, on April 26.
The Boones surprise Denmark’s Vivi Bache.
Upsets: Rumor has it Jean Simmons left for London with just one determination in mind — and that is only to divorce Stewart Granger. And despite Stewart’s protests and denials, Jean heads for their Arizona ranch the instant she returns to have it out with her husband. With Jean’s as well as Stewart’s money tied up in their ranch venture, a settlement may take time. . . . The same reasons are advanced in the case of June Allyson and Dick Powell whose divergent tastes have had them rumor-targets for years. But it’s no rumor June is chafing at the bit, weary of a husband so wholeheartedly devoted to his business. . . . I wasn’t too surprised to hear that Bette Davis and Gary Merrill have finally called it quits. It’s been pending for quite some time now. But I was surprised to hear that Joan Fontaine and TV producer-husband Collier Young have separated. ... I, for one, wish that my very good friend Van Johnson would come home and talk Eve out of the divorce.
