STAR OF THE MONTH Each month, TV Radio Mirror visits with the PTnl £± &Ssca AinTCi DTfa 70 Terry O'Sullivan and Sherry Godfrey had an itch to get married, all right — a seven-year itch. It sounds confusing, but let's start at the beginning . . . which is even more confusing! "It certainly was not an ideal honeymoon," said O'Sullivan, male star of CBS-TV's "Search for Tomorrow." Sherry, his bride of less than three months, agreed, "There were always five or six luscious women around." With a twinkle in his eye, Terry continued, "And I didn't have a moment to spare." Terry and Sherry sat back. Theirs was a wild and hectic courtship . . . and an even more traumatic honeymoon. They were married in Bermuda, but took a plane to Minneapolis to begin their honeymoon! The reason? Terry had to begin rehearsals of "The Seven Year Itch." "All the girls in the show with him were beautiful," Sherry explained, a girl who need not take a back seat in any beauty contest. It all began several months ago when Terry was doing an off-Broadway show. A friend came backstage to see him with a date. The date, of course, was Sherry. What were their first reactions to each other? Terry: "I thought she was tall, had red hair and was utterly lovely." Sherry: "Gee, that's a tough question." She blushed.

Twelve times he sent Sherry tickets and twelve times she came to watch. Terry smiled. "Naturally, I had to reward such loyalty. We became engaged." Simple enough, but by no means the end of their story. Sherry is a Canadian citizen, here on a student's visa to study at The Art Students' League. They were engaged on May 29th. Sherry's visa was up on June 2nd! She flew back to Winnipeg, her parents' home, with a much-smitten Terry soon following. In Winnipeg, he met Sherry's parents and won their approval. The two then flew to Bermuda, where they were married. "The perfect spot for a honeymoon," Terry concedes, "but not for us. I had to do 'The Seven Year Itch.' " In Minneapolis, Terry had one week to prepare for his role. "I never would have seen Sherry if the producer wasn't kind enough to give her a small role in the show. That way, we could see each other." "And I could keep an eye on him," Sherry added, laughing. Once back in New York, they had to decorate their Greenwich Village apartment. "I have a house in East
