unDeR HeDDas Above: Handsome Keir Dullea told me he had to learn to ride a horse for “Mail Order Bride.” He liked the horse so much, he’s going to buy him and stake him out on Staten Island so he can keep riding when he’s home in New York. But the way Keir’s career is going in Hollywood, he may never get to New York. Right now he’s in Spain. Jane Fonda won’t be coming back to Hollywood until Christmas time. She’s just made a picture in Paris, will visit Russia and come home via the Far East. Rod Taylor and bride hit the front pages in his hometown, Sydney, Australia. The Prime Minister and the Lord Mayor extended official greetings. But the airline lost his luggage on the way over. As Rod put it, “Local boy popular but naked!” The girl who’s snagged two of our top movie names isn’t a star, or even an actress. She’s Shirlee Adams, pretty air line hostess who dates Henry Fonda when she hits one coast and Gardner McKay on the opposite side of the U.S. Her job has its advantages, doesn’t it! Roz Russell found so many Hollywoodites in Honolulu when she vacationed there that the main drag looked like Beverly Hills. Roz, who flew to the islands, played a joke on a couple of friends who came by boat. She dressed herself up in a mumu, big hat and ukulele and joined a picket line outside their hotel. When the pals walked through to register, Roz screamed “Capitalists!” at the top of her lungs. Rock Hudson, Doris Day, and Jim Garner all turned down offers of $10,000 for one day’s work in TV commercials. They held to the idea such a step would be a blight on their glamour. But Barbara Stanwyck agreed to come on and sing the praises of instant coffee. Such notables as Edward G. Robinson, Claudette Colbert, Herbert Marshall, Gary Merrill and Julie London all were in favor of the TV offer. A couple of them said it helped get them movie offers. Sue (Lolita) Lyon denies she’s engaged to marry Hampton Fancher, III, but she saw a lot of him before going off to the Mexican location of “Night Of The Iguana.” Well, we will see! Maximilian Schell managed to have a romance with Nancy Kwan without a lot of fireworks, but beauing Princess Soraya around has been a different thing. Schell, while costarring with Melina Mercouri in a picture made in Istanbul, was asked by her husband, actor-producer Jules Dassin, not to bring Soraya on the set. Newspapers got wind of it and reported a feud between the two women. One paper told of a quarrel in which the two girls were reported exchanging sharp words. Said Melina: “Nothing but lies. I was never introduced to Soraya. She is always surrounded by such a crowd of admirers and photographers that my husband feared his set would be trampled and his work delayed, so he asked that she remain away from it.” Above: George Peppard and Elizabeth Ashley were a red hot duo during “The Carpetbaggers” filming, but now that it’s in the can, some say the romance is, too. Liz had to go to New York for a Broadway play — and if the separation doesn’t cool the romance, nothing will. Me? I think they’ll marry when both are divorced— unlike the other Liz.
