In case there's nobody around willing to find the beautiful girls for the shows I'm suggesting, I will even donate my time and talent to lead the search. That is to say, the great woman-hunt. What do you say, fellahs? (Women— I wasn't asking you!) That Paul Anka! His father, Andy Anka, was telling me the other day: "You know Paul wrote the theme music for Darryl Zanuck's 'The Longest Day'?" This I knew and said so. . . . "And Sammy Davis's new hit, 'Everybody Calls Me Joe'? . . . And of course he wrote his own new song, 'A Glass of Wine and a Steel Guitar.' . . .

In real life, Paul likes to sip a "Fogcutter," a rum drink served at Trader Vic's and elsewhere, with his girl friend, model Ann Dezogheb. "That, and a little wine, is all I ever drink," says Paul — who will have turned twenty-one when you read this. I asked Paul what turning twentyone would mean to him. "I'll become twenty-one while working in Las Vegas," he said. "When I really get there, I'm going to put fifty dollars on something — I don't know what. That'll be the sign that I've come of age." Madison Avenue had a laugh at a report that NBC might again undertake to get Marilyn Monroe to do "Rain" on TV. The insiders knew it was laughable, because N3C spent $75,000 to $100,000, a year ago, on the (Please turn the page) Now that he's turning twenty-one, singer Paul Anka's got everything he needs — including a pretty girl of his own.
