Photoplay (Jul-Dec 1963)

went to his friend, TV’s Gypsy Boots, who had escorted Mamie to the game. If she was upset because she didn’t get the prize baseball, she didn’t let on about it. At Bo’s party, she was all smiles as she and her intended toasted each other. The last word? It’s only fair that it be given to Walter Winchell, Photoplay columnist, who was present when Bo and Mamie’s romance began. Extending Bob Sylvester’s crack that “Somehow Mamie Van Belinsky doesn’t sound right,” Walter said, “If Mamie Van Doren becomes Mrs. Bo Belinsky (to read their planned wedlines), some of us will be very amazed.” — Tony Anthony Continued from page 69 enough to discuss these matters with May. I had to tell her what she had to expect.” May’s reply to Sammy was just what he expected from the woman he loved. “First comes what we have, and then comes whatever artistic thing or feeling that I might have,” May told Sammy. Nothing was so dreadful as the slings and arrows flung by a rabid few at Sammy as he made his rounds of the night clubs during those trying early days. The announcement of Sammy’s and May’s intention to marry was made in London. Early terror “Right away,” Sammy related with grimness as he recalled the events of that day, “we became the target of the hate groups. That night we went to a restaurant. . . May’s father, who had come in from Sweden to visit us, came along. And the Nazis came, too. “I was absolutely shocked. You know, it’s frightening to see those guys in uniform, wearing swastikas, parading up and down with signs carrying messages like, ‘Mixed marriages are taboo’ and ‘We do not want a Negro Jew.’ They also brought a little dog and it had a sign on its back saying, ‘I’m black and I’m not a Jew.’ ” It was the same thing in the United States — and not in the Deep South — but in Washington, D. C., and in Hollywood. These were times of real terror for Sammy and May, but especially for Sammy who became the prime target for most of the racial and religious slurs that were hurled by the irresponsible hate mongers. “I had expected it,” Sammy said, “because I didn’t think the haters would come over to my side. There’ll always be the haters. There were hate letters even before I was married, and they kept coming in larger numbers afterwards. But, thank God, they have stopped at last.” Actually, as Sammy explained it, there is still an occasional nasty letter. But nothing like it used to be. As May had indicated in her story, the hate letters suddenly stopped after the baby came. With little Tracey Hillevi to show the world that the love between Sammy and May was meant to be as permanent and enduring as anything in this life can be, not only did the prejudice diminish greatly but their life together — Sammy’s and May’s — started to change very quickly. Like May, Sammy became more relaxed, less inhibited. “The pressure was off,” Sammy explained. “Now we didn’t have to face those outside problems, the ones that were apart from those which any two married people must ordinarily face. I was glad it came down to that. I never wanted a lot of people to presume they could deprive me of my right to a full life and pleasure with the woman I love — and with the baby that we had brought into this world.” He fooled them all The changes in Sammy became evident in many ways. No one would have bet a plug nickel on his chances of ever breaking away from the raucous, feverish routine of partying and night life that seemed to be an integral part of Sammy’s life. Yet be fooled them all. Actually, Sammy had begun to slow down long before Tracey Hillevi was born. But when the baby came, you could almost bear the screeching of tires as Sammy jammed the brakes on his fast-paced past Ring out good news for the mentally ill!
