Above : Danny Kaye and Arthur Godfrey were a riot to talk to — the quips were fast and furious. By the way, Danny got a standing ovation after the opening of his marvelous oneman show in New York City.
Jill St. John is certainly playing a fast game. She’s a beautiful girl, and at the time she separated from Lance Reventlow I told her I thought it was a mistake. Since then she’s been playing the field. When Walter Wanger, who’s old enough to be her father, flew in from New York, she was at the airport to meet him. She’s also been seeing Richard Gully and Frank Sinatra and her ex-husband. If this isn’t playing aces wild, I don’t know what is — do you?
Virginia and James Arness, after five separations, finally got a divorce, and Jim got custody of their two children. He charged that she was unfit to raise them because not long ago their twelve-year-old daughter went to the hospital with an acute case of alcoholic poisoning.
Above: Anita Ekberg seems very happy being Mrs. Rik Von Nutter. They kept the press away when they wed in Switzerland, but willingly posed a few days later in the garden of her beautiful villa in Rome.
Anita Ekberg’s new motherin-law put a fast damper on all those dreamed-up stories about her son being an Austrian-born film star, fabulously wealthy, and seven-feet tall. She cut him down to size with, “He was born in Pomona, California, he’s six feet two, and worked on a newspaper in Hawaii and had a job with a film company on location there.” As for his name — Rik Von Nutter — he’s just plain old Freddie Nutter to his mother.
I always feel sorry for these young girls who make stardom and then marry and have a baby before they’re out of their teens. It’s tough enough learning to act without having to learn how to become a wife and a mother. This is what happened to Sandra Dee. She and Bobby Darin were brought up in totally different environments. She had the protection of a lovely mother. Darin fought his way up every inch of the way. His was the world of song writers, pluggers, etc., and the things that go with that life. While he was singing “Mack the Knife,” she was playing “Tammy.” When they had a baby, they wouldn’t permit it to be photographed. They were devoted. She told me how she used to get up at 5 A.M. to feed the baby and make Bobby’s breakfast before he went off to work. He was very good at his acting job — and at being a father. Then they had a terrific row the night he opened at the Cocoanut Grove. The separation followed. Now I understand he’ll fight for custody of the child. Where will it end? Nobody knows.
Above: Eddie Robinson and Charlton Heston stopped to compare beards at a recent premiere. Beards are the big thing now, but I’m glad Paul Newman decided to get rid of his. ( Continued on page 29)
