Photoplay (Jul-Dec 1954)

Superstitions of Stars ( Continued from page 61) Every time she starts anything important, she keeps her date with destiny in those same old tired slippers. Betty Hutton screamed when the maid at the Mayflower Hotel in Washington unpacked her hats and put them on the bed. “I knew something terrible was going to happen that day,” Betty told me shudderingly when she returned to Hollywood. And that turned out to be the day she decided to divorce Charlie O’Curran. Some people are jinxed with boots on the bed or scissors. But for Betty, it's hats. And it’s just as dangerous, the Huttontot believes, when people say, “Good luck, Betty,” before she goes on stage. “I want to punch them in the nose. The first time I appeared on stage in a good part, everyone wished me good luck — and brother was I a flop.” D’ye want to live like a Gabor — with minks, yachts and a Rubirosa thrown in for nothing? Then knock on wood. Eva, Zsa Zsa and Magda are so busy knocking on wood they scarcely have much time to knock each other. More Hollywood stars see red for good luck than any other color. And please Mr. McCarthy, nothing political intended. The Monroe has her dress. Jane Wyman has had her red Santa Claus stocking for sixteen years. The start of every picture sees the stocking in her dressing room. Van Johnson swears by red socks. Wild horses and even royalty can’t get him to change to more conservative hose. Glenn Ford has a red necktie, given him by an Irish friend when he made his first film. If he can’t wear it in a picture, he has it sewn into the lining of his suit! And. of course, Red Skelton always sports a red tie. It’s his trademark. Fred Astaire wore an old terry-cloth bathrobe on the opening night of “The Gay Divorce,” his first stage appearance without sister Adele. The shabby garment has an honored place in his wardrobe. And Debbie Reynolds believes it’s lucky to wear an old flannel wrap for one scene in each oicture. Look the next time and see for yourself. When Joan Crawford was making a picture with Tim McCoy, long, long ago, she saw a child crying in the gutter on the way o location. It troubled Joan and, on the way back, she looked for the little girl. But all she found was a beat-up shoe. It has served as Joan’s good-luck charm for nany years. Steve Forrest has a different kind of ?ood-luck piece. When Steve was in the h'my, stationed in the little town of Heeren in Holland, he used to spend a lot of ime with a Dutch miner’s family and prought them little gifts. As a farewell from hem (just before the Battle of the Bulge), le received a little grandfather’s pipe, sailed “oopapijp.” He’s kept it close to him ‘ver since and claims it is the best guarantee of luck he’s seen.
