We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.
Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

One of the nicest parties was the one Bette Davis gave to announce the engagement of her sixteen-year-old daughter BD to Jeremy Hyman, who arrived from London the day before with a heart-shaped diamond ring in hand. They invited only their old and dear friends, only those who’d known BD — from the doctor who delivered her to the nurse who took care of her when she was a baby. The wedding takes place here in December; they’ll make their home in London. BD’s a lucky girl. Jeremy is charming, has a divine sense of humor, and has more than enough of the world’s goods to make any girl happy.
When Jackie Gleason and Steve McQueen walked on the set of “Soldier in the Rain,” there was a big painted sign reading: “The Gleason and The McQueen.” The chemistry between those two is the kind we used to get between Spencer Tracy and Clark Gable, or Vic McLaglen and Eddie Lowe. Whoever thought up the sign gave the stars a feeling of warmth and good will.
Jim Mitchum was a gentleman, but had to admit that the announcement of his engagement got out of hand. “We’d been dating a month and people began writing things.” But he called his mother in London to tell her the engagement was off!
Above : Danny Kaye’s Russian tour was a great, thing. Like Bob Hope, he’ll go anywhere to entertain— especially children. When Danny plays to the kids, he’s really the world’s greatest.
Above: George Hamilton and Tony Perkins both took me to lunch in New York, and I had a really fine time. George finally finished the picture “Act One” in New York. He told me he was in every scene, but had no romance in it. His co-star Jason Robards, Jr., who plays George Kaufman, has a wife, but Hamilton, who’s the romantic one, had no one to make love to — on film.
Carol Lynley’s tracking down the source of those ugly rumors being spread about her. She doesn’t have to look far. One of the wildest was that she was breaking up the marriage between a top actress and her husband. A dame called me from Chicago to tip me off, so I put in a call to Carol. “Don’t I have enough troubles over my divorce, without this?” she said. It’s happened before. When she made “The Cardinal,” she was supposed to be romancing director Otto Preminger, also a married man. Somebody’s out to do Carol dirt. I just wonder why?
1 always thought Jim Garner would become a big star if he ever got out of “Maverick,” but didn’t think he could do it so soon. In less than two years he has four starring films (“Thrill of It All,” “The Great Escape,” “Wheeler Dealers” and “Move Over, Darling”), plus his own company. I call that pretty good.
When Rock Hudson got a look at Jim Garner and Doris Day in “Thrill of It All,” he said to producer Ross Hunter, “Why did you let me turn down that picture? Why didn’t you hit me over the head and make me do it?” Said Ross, “Well, next time you’ll have to listen.” And you can bet your life Rock will!
