— the girls just go ga ga over. He’s very confident of himself. I call him ‘The Little Black Panther.’ He's always wearing black. He’s got black, straight hair, and he’s got those slant eyes. He’s really so cute! Black suits, black shirts and so on. . . . Yeah. He likes black. He’s got that real nice skin.”
Is his mood ever black?
“No. Never.”
In Palm Springs, before he proposed, did yon go out a lot with him there?
“Yes, we went day and night, we were out. You know, like I shot pool with him in the daytime. Yeah, that’s right. I shot pool with him! You know, over in the key club. Yeah. Don’t laugh. I was pretty good. You know, I used to shoot pool a little bit. And he’s excellent. We played rotation and eight ball. We did all of it. He played opposite a guy — the champion of Palm Springs — and he beat him. They played the game for a charity. And then I went around and collected the money for everybody to watch Bo play. And then afterward we went home. No, we went to the Riviera and had dinner, and it was, like, one o’clock. And then, like, Saturday night we went out to a little Mexican place where they have three guys to serenade you. . . . They serenaded Bo and me. And then we went back to the Riviera. It was so crowded — they had a convention up there. . . . And then — ’cause he was late that Saturday morning for work — he didn’t show up till one. He was fined five hundred dollars for being late.
“I tried to get him to stay home Saturday night because he was gonna pitch. So, like, we watched TV for an hour and a half and he says, ‘Let’s get dressed and get out of here!’ So we went out.
“I went to see his game Sunday, because he pitched. And then when he got back, we had dinner, and then — he proposed to me. Then I got the car and came home, and he took off for San Jose.”
When do you and Bo plan to get married?
“I wouldn’t want to comment on that. I have no comment. He’s the man. I'm leaving it up to Mr. Belinsky to do all the talking about it.”
You seemed to have been taken by surprise ivhen he announced that the two of you were engaged, and it sounded like you were a little peeved that he announced it. Could you explain about that?
“No, I wasn’t mad. It was just a surprise to me that he had announced it without letting me know. But he hadn’t announced it. It just slipped out, and somebody heard it, and the papers got hold of it and all of a sudden they called me and then I confirmed it. I didn’t expect people to find out. We were going to have a nice engagement party and all that and it just slipped out. He still wants to have one, yeah. I don’t know when or where. That’s what we’re going to talk about.”
What memories do you have of your courtship that are particularly pleasant to you?
“Let me see — courtship. . . . Well, golly . . . In Palm Springs, we went to the Racquet Club and sat around and got tan, and had orange punch drinks, f don’t drink. Bo doesn’t drink. He does smoke, but I don’t. So. like — those things we have in common. He likes to eat a lot. And I don’t especially eat a lot! I have trouble keeping my weight on.”
Are you a good cook?
“Yeah, you could say, I’m pretty good.”
W' hat do you cook?
“Well, anything that he likes. Anything that you want to have. I can — I can whip up a good dinner.”
Have you cooked for him?
“No.”
But you’re looking forward to it?
‘Uh — no! Well, I don't particularly like to cook. I’d rather have a maid cook. Bo likes steaks. Big red steaks. He has to eat a lot of those.”
Do you have a maid now?
Yeah, I live in a lovely big house above the Sunset Plaza drive overlooking Hollywood. With just the maid and my son. It has four bedrooms.”
Do you think when you get married Bo will move in with you, or will you move to another house?
“I think I’ll sell this house. I want to start all over. I have too many bad memories in this house. ... I had it when I married Ray.”
When did you get divorced?
“1960.”
What was the reason your marriage to Ray broke up?
“We had nothing in common.”
What are the things that you and Bo have in common?
“Uh — everything! Anything he likes to do, I’ll do. Just anything, like shooting pool, like taking off in the middle of the night someplace. I’m sure he would do that. I like to do things like that.”
Besides Ray — Ray Anthony — weren’t you married before? To a young teenager?
“Well. I was married, but my folks had it annulled, so I really don’t consider I was married. I’d rather not say the name of my first husband.”
You were engaged, weren’t you, to Tony Santora for while?
“I was never engaged. I just went with him. I never got serious enough to marry him. because I didn’t — really love him that much. We broke that up. . . . You know, how long can you keep going with someone without getting married? And I just wasn’t in the marriage mood.”
W hat is there about Bo that put you in a marriage mood?
“Well, I mean he’s— I think he’s ready for it — otherwise he wouldn’t have brought it up. And I think the two of us know each other, and we’re more or less — suitable to each other.”
How old is your son?
“Seven.”
W hat’s his name?
“Perry.”
Is he excited about the possibility of having a baseball player as a father?
“Yeah, lie’s a little too young to know baseball, but he likes the idea fine.”

“Well, he’s only met him once.”
What did your son say about Bo?
“He didn’t say anything.”
Do you have any particular hopes for your marriage, or plans that you want to mention?
“No. I haven’t — nothing until I discuss this with Bo. But I am very happy.”
As she said this, I realized she was looking up at Bo, who had come back to our table. Mamie excused herself and started for the powder room. Bo and l stared after her. This girl certainly has a variety of curves, and I was going to find out just which one she had thrown the twenty
