STUFF I INS i ml (mL-fmoi '• Mel tm c JW, Suoeit Fink Lana Turner and Fernando Lamas begin a festive evening attending Ann Miller’s party for Bill O’Connor at the Beverly Hills Hotel Hollywood’ s most devoted couple, Lana and Fernando usually prefer quiet dinner dates in out-of-the-way places to large social events Love in Bloom: The wedding bells chimed for red-headed, green-eyed Rhonda Fleming and Dr. Lewis V. Morrill, and thus ends a long period of indecision . . . They knew each other in Hollywood, they met again in New York, so Zachary Scott married actress Ruth Ford in Chicago . . . Married this summer, Barbara Ford (former wife of the late Robert Walker) and cowboy singing star Ken Curtis, are already counting the children they hope to have . . . Joanne Dru and John Ireland deny there’s anything wrong with their marriage . . . Lex Barker and Arlene Dahl have “worked things out” and Dan Cupid is bustin’ out all over! Love Out of Bloom: John Wayne’s friends are loyal, which is why those “inside” stories on feuds with his “Chata” never reached print. Now that even John admits they are “past reconciliation,” the situation may change . . . Though the Glenn Fords have patched up the particular quarrel that threatened their nine-year marriage, Hollywood isn’t optimistic about their future — together . . . First the kindly Tony Dexter lost his identity playing “Valentino” and now it looks as though he’s lost his wife. At least, they’ve announced separation . . . After so many denials, Maureen O’Hara finally set out for Nevada to divorce director Will Price. Star Stuff: Cal’s lunch with Jeff Chandler in the U-I commissary was stimulating, humorous and revealing, as always. Unless you hear him tell it, you might find it hard to believe that until recently the big guy felt very unsure of himself. “What has to happen,” we inquired curiously, “to make a star actually believe he is a star? Of course he gets better billing and bigger money (if he’s lucky) but when does a man say to himself — now I am a star!” Jeff grinned, winked and quietly answered : “I guess you know you’re a star when people listen to you — even when you have nothing to say!” Once Over Lightly: According to a printed report, Hedy Lamarr is having a romance with Joe Mailman (that’s right!), the razor blade king, who supposedly said: “I love Hedy much too much to marry her.” A comedian you all know and love read this report and quietly cracked: “Oh well, Joe can always cut his throat!” First Nighter: Well, Doris Day finally went to a preview of one of her own pictures! This one, however, she gave herself in the studio projection room. Do-Do rounded up visiting friends from Cincinnati, she also invited the family, the cook and her two French poodles. After laughing and crying their way through “The Winning Team,” in typical fashion Doris opined: “And this was the picture I didn’t want to do!” Guests were served punch, homemade cookies and a great time was had by all. Remember this when you listen to all those stories about wild, wild Hollywood! , 36
