being erected on land she sold for $300,000. She still owns the three adjacent blocks. This in addition to an apartment, a fabulous beach house and a ranch. A lucky boy is young Tony Bill. He was signed to play Frank Sinatra’s brother in “Come Blow Your Horn.” Tony had no experience outside of college drama classes, and looks a great deal like Frankie, Jr. Young Frank would like to be in show business, but he listened to his parents and went back to Arizona University to finish his schooling. There should be more kids like him in Hollywood. Anita Ekberg put on so much weight she had to enter a clinic in Rome. I heard she was being treated by the same doctor who treated Mario Lanza. When I discovered that Bob Hope had signed Anita for his leading lady, I asked if he’d seen her lately. “You’d better take a look, Bob, she’s put on so much weight that if she takes you in her arms, you’d disappear from view.” “Ah,” sighed Hope, “what a beautiful way to go.” Grace Kelly hasn’t changed her mind about coming back to the screen, but she will take a television tour of Monaco in early ’63.

Jackie’s surrounded by Lucille Ball, Merle Oberon, Mrs. Vincent Minnelli, Jill St. John and Rhonda Fleming. He looks like the cat that swallowed the canary. Gleason left our town in great style — on his own private train with seven cars, if you please. It cost $80,000 (paid by CBS) for the ten-day trip back to New York. He made eight stops across country and had a schedule that would have killed an elephant for sure. Vince Edwards has a time keeping his love life straight. Now that he’s big news, a lot of columns have linked him with many girls, including Diane McBain. Trouble is, Vince’s real girl, Sherry Nelson, gets upset. Vince told me he’ll do no more comedy guest appearances. From now on he’ll stick to the dedicated doctor image. Despite all the stories picturing Elizabeth Taylor as independently wealthy, she has not received any money to date from the estate of Mike Todd.
