Hayley Mills is growing up fast. She’s seventeen. When I found her on “The Chalk Garden” set in London, she said, “Congratulate me! I’ve finished school. Now I’ll have a tutor instead of being cooped up with all those girls.” In two terms at a Swiss finishing school, she mastered French, Italian and skiing, but that wasn’t exactly Hayley’s idea of great fun.
Above: Max Schell and exQueen Soroya were quite an item in Europe till she took sick. People are always asking me what I think of her decision to go into films. I can only say this: She’s beautiful! I can’t speak for her talent, I’ve never seen her act. But you can be sure that she’ll be big box-office.
When ZaSu Pitts died of cancer, we lost a great American and a fine friend. I don’t believe she ever made an enemy except in the Communist circles. But she never stopped alerting her fellow countrymen to the danger, and lost many, juicy jobs because of her outspokenness.
Jerry Lewis is higher than a flag on the Fourth of July over his expected baby — the sixth. “What Patti and I want to do,” he said, “is surround ourselves with love. We want our group to be big enough so we don’t have to care what the rest of the world’s doing.”
Donna Reed and Tony Owen celebrated their eighteenth wedding anniversary and they had something to celebrate. Donna’s getting a million dollars for her sixth season on ABC-TV.
Charles Robinson, a handsome six-foot-two Princeton grad, will make it big in films. He’s with Sandra Dee and Jimmy Stewart in “Take Her, She’s Mine.” When he and his wife arrived here, they were short on cash, so they rented an old house and fixed it up. When it was finished, the owner dropped by and told them he was going abroad and had to sell. They were heartsick because they loved the house, but couldn’t afford it. The owner said, “Anyone who loves a house like you two, deserves it. Give me a note for $5,000 — no interest — and pay me when you can!”
Carroll Baker settled her suit with Warners without going to court to clear the way for her to play Jean Harlow in“TheCarpetbaggers.” Baby Doll will have silver blond hair and a $40,000 wardrobe — and she’ll even do a nude scene. Gorgeous Carroll told me her rather unique beauty secret: She scrubs her face with soap, water and a brush.
Above: Gary Clarke escorted Anna Kashfi to a premiere — and the whole town gasped. Guess they never thought Anna could forget Brando, nor Gary, Connie Stevens. Bravo for them! I hope they have lots of fun — they sure could use it!
Jimmy Stewart did no acting while waiting nine months for 20th to reopen. But he and Gloria went on an African safari; he did two tours of duty with the Air Force Reserve; traveled around the country for Princeton (he’s a trustee); had a ten-day vacation at Acapulco; flew to Carswell Air Base in Texas to narrate several Air Force training films; took in the Berlin Film Festival; en route home checked oil wells in Ireland (three were dry, the fourth was pumping); then played himself, General J. Stewart, in a TV segment of “My Three Sons.” Nice restful vacation, wasn’t it? The day before his picture ended, his greatest friend and partner Kirk Johnson died of a heart attack. My condolences.
That’s all the news for now. I’ll write more next month. •
