TV Radio Mirror (Jul - Dec 1962)

show because he was cut off the air just as he was about to make his point. His speech had run overlong and off he went. "Why didn't you have one of those fellows stand in back of the camera and give me the zzzltttt (running his finger across his neck, signal for the cutoff) when time was running out?" Otto demanded. Everybody apologized, he was asked to tape some more material for next day's show, but Otto shook his head and insisted there should have been a zzzltttt. Shelley Fabares, the flouncy youngster on the "Donna Reed Show," who's the niece of Nanette Fabray, has another song ready for her, to follow up the success of "Johnny Angel." It's the work of Lyn Duddy and Jerry Bresler, and it's tentatively titled, "I'm Sorry About It, Mrs. Johnson, But I Can't Baby Sit Any More." Fearless Forecasts : Eddie Fisher isn't likely to do TV immediately because he's too skinny. He's got to fatten up first.

He's just crazy about the guy when he's dried off and not under water. "He's going to play an author journalist," Kaiser said. "He gets into scrapes all over the world. . . ." It was a nice talk . . . but I'm still thirsty for a mai-tai. Shouldn't there be a loyalty test for some of the stagehands of the big shows? Do the bosses know that while some of the biggest dramatic stars are on the air being dramatic, the stagehands have tuned to one of the auxiliary sets to watch the baseball games? One of the big stars got several writers to write him some night club material practically for free — by tossing them a little party. Afterward, big-heartedly, he gave them cuff-links. But, so the story goes, he said to two of the writers, who are a team, "Here, you two boys are so close together ... so I'll just give you one cuff-link apiece." — The End P.S. on Eddie: Losing weight — but gaining TV-sponsor interest.
