INSIDE STUFF Rumors started flying when Ann Blyth, recently back from England and Ireland, was seen at Carmen Miranda’’ s Ciro’s opening with Scott Brady. Questions started flying when Eleanor Parker, at same opening, was surrounded by admirers who wanted to know all about Valentino Beautiful Target: Ann Blyth may take Cal to task for printing this story. Pernicious press agents have been having a ball at her expense but because she is so kind and considerate of everyone’s feelings, Ann won’t protest. Since her return from Europe they’ve linked her name with every actor on the way up in Hollywood. Sometimes she’s reported to be in a dozen different places during one evening. Recently a magazine (not Photoplay) fabricated a tender little yarn based on her great romance with Dick Contino. Ann went out with him exactly once! Yes, the details of their parting at the airport were such sweet sorrow, because Dick wasn’t even present! Benny for Your Thoughts: Instead of spoiling her, those endless advantages bestowed upon the Jack Bennys’ daughter have only added to her sweetness and charm. And now at seventeen, the beautiful, blonde Joan is in love with Vic Damone. Whenever he has time and money to spare, Vic calls Joan from Fort Dix, where he’s temporarily stationed. So, while the comedian and his troupe were in Korea entertaining our boys, Mary Livingston decided to take her daughter to New York, where she could see Vic when he was on leave. The Bennys still believe they have a little girl on their hands, but they’re wise enough not to let her in on their secret. It Seems to Cal That: A stitch in time, in the case of Bill Holden, would save the studios a fortune. Family and friends are worried over his highly nervous condition. During the past year Bill’s made five pictures for Paramount and Columbia, who share his contract. He needs a good rest badly . . . Those rumors concerning Ty Power seem pretty preposterous. How could he be broke and still live that lush life on the Continent? And would a man shell out shekels for a new Bel-Air home, if he wanted to live in the East and return to the theatre? We doubt it. Dinner Belles: June Haver, Connie Moore and Patricia Neal will never forget the most unusual banquet they ever attended. Missing were those inevitable searchlights, the usual mob of screaming fans. The occasion was the annual spring dinner of the Paralyzed Veterans Association. Each actress was guest of honor at a long table where their hosts lined up on one side— in wheel chairs. Between courses the actresses traded places to talk to as many of the paraplegics as possible. “The boys are simply wonderful,” June’s beautiful blue eyes glow when she tells about it. “You wouldn’t dare feel sorry for them, because they refuse to feel sorry for themselves. They kid each other and make jokes at one another’s expense. They are great human beings.” June, Pat and Connie, who are also constant visitors at the Veterans’ hospitals are equally as great in their unselfish endeavors. One Man’s Family: Turn back the pages of Hollywood history and there he is— a tall-for-his-age, gangling lad delivering his papers to the doorsteps oi the silent motion picture stars. Now it’s 1951 and there he is again, but this time he’s watching a tall, gangling lad uf there on a platform with his graduating class. There was pride in Joel McCrea’f face as he sat in the auditorium oi Berkeley Hall, a private school in Bev erly Hills. Frances Dee was by his side her hair slightly gray and looking lovelj as ever. Cal couldn’t help thinking as ht sat there observing the McCreas: Wha inconspicuous representative lives they’vi lived the last twenty years. How gra ciously they’ve worn their success. Oui town can well be proud of them. 100
