Photoplay (Jul-Dec 1960)

and then they'd telephoned her mother in California. There was no time for fittings for a dress. Her mother, without explaining why, so as not to give away the secret, managed to borrow the white-lace, ballerina-length dress Debbie had worn in “The Tender Trap.” She’d replaced the colored ribbons with white satin and then air-mailed the dress to her. Still it had been a lovely wedding. She had come down the stairway in the cottage where Jennie Grossinger’s daughter lived and had caught her breath at the sight of the giant mums in tall vases and the gold and russet leaves that filled the room. A string trio began to play “Moonlight and Roses,” and, for a moment, she had faltered. “No, please,” she’d whispered. “Could they play the ‘Wedding March?’ ” And then, with fifty guests looking on, County Judge Lawrence Cooke had married them. She tried to speak her marriage vows in a clear voice but, in the double-ring ceremony, she was so nervous that, without realizing it, she put Eddie’s ring on the wrong hand. But it was a borrowed ring and, later, she bought him another. After the wedding, someone told her that when, finally they were man and wife and Eddie took her in his arms and kissed her, she had emitted a sigh that everyone in the room heard. She didn’t remember it. There, in pictures, she saw the story of their marriage. The brief honeymoon. Their first house. Carrie as a baby and then before long, little Todd Emanuel. They were a complete family now. It all looked so perfect. Yet, had the camera lied? Had she somehow lied to herself, smiling through those years but really playacting at marriage? Perhaps it was true, after all, that she had shut her eyes to the trouble and clung to an image of the marriage as she wanted it to be. Now that it was all over, she could no longer deliberately forget the times she and Eddie had appeared in public in frozen attitudes that showed their unhappiness . . . the times they’d gone to friends for advice . . . and even to psychologists and to a marriage counselor. That had been a year before the breakup, a year before her marriage ended in the very place it had begun, in Grossinger’s, when Eddie and Liz went there together. Recently, on Decoration Day weekend, she, too, had gone back to Grossinger’s. “Jennie Grossinger is my friend,” she had told people when they looked at her wonder ingly. Yet, before deciding on a new marriage, it had been a good place to go and face the truth about her old love once and for all. She flipped quickly past the pictures of herself taken shortly after Eddie had left her. The camera had caught, too well, the drawn face and the eyes rimmed with dark circles. No longer smiling, she continued to turn the pages of the album. After the divorce There were pictures of the men she had met and dated after the divorce. Before her marriage, she had never been one to date just for the sake of going out. And, though she was anxious to begin a new life, she still felt the same way, she had to like the man or not go out at all. Yet strangely enough, once she was free, she found that there were not very many men around who were eligible, especially when they had to measure up as a prospective husband for her and a father for Carrie and Todd, too. “The next man I marry,” she has vowed to friends, “will be one hundred percent good for my children or I’ll stay single.” For a while, there was Bob Neal. They’d had good times together. Yet Bob was a perennial beau, probably having too much TV & MOVIE STAR PHOTOS Brand new stars and brand new pictures! PLUS your favorites!
