Love that voice! Jimmy Durante listens to playback of song he sing's in 'This Time for Keeps."
WANDA Hendrix. the girl Warners dropped and Paramount "discovered," is a pretty thrilled little lady. First came rave notices for her work with Bing Crosby in "Welcome Stranger." Following the preview of Robert Montgomery's "Ride the Pink Horse," a wire came from Orson Welles, who doesn't even know Wanda. He expressed enthusiasm for her talent and called it a "great credit to the industry." Last and far from least, there's that romance with war hero, Audie Murphy. Watch for Audie in his first picture, Paramount's "Long Grey Line," starring Alan Ladd.
TEN years ago, when his MGM bosses tried to dissuade Bob Taylor from marrying Barbara Stanwyck, she vowed she'd never set foot on their lot. While they liked her, they still felt their number one heart throb should remain a bachelor. Well, Barbara has come a long way, personally and professionally. When they wanted her to co-star with Van Heflin in "B. F.'s Daughter" the part was too good to sacrifice because of an outdated grudge. As a gag, Bob Taylor actually had a red carpet rolled out in front of his wife's dressing-room door, the day she started the picture.
BURT Lancaster will become a father about the time he becomes a "son" — Edward G. Robinson's son in Universal-International's "All My Sons." When they were casting this coveted role, an agent suggested Arthur Kennedy, who created it in New York and was so good on the screen in "Boomerang." He was in Hollywood and available. "Not the type," was the answer.
TIME marches on. There are two new employees on the Warner lot. William Powell, Jr., is now working as an assistant in the Story Department. And
Debonair Durante shows two pretty swimmers of "This Time for Keeps" the fine art of primping. Below, Lauritz Melchior piggy-backs Duncan Richardson to the set. Both enjoyed the ride.
the young son of Karen Morley and Director Charles Vidor (who was also divorced by Evelyn Keyes and is now married to the former wife of Mervyn Leroy) is a messenger in the front office. Seems like yesterday that they were posing for baby pictures !
MANY were tested, but Jim Davis (a former oil truck driver discovered and finally dropped by MGM) won the lead opposite Bette Davis in "Winter Meeting." Jim, who was down to his last cent, naturally thought Bette would want him to change his name, "It's done all right for me," she told him. "Why don't you keep it and try your luck?" That's just what Jim's doing.
IT'S all over but the necessary year of waiting. That divorce of Greer Garson from Richard Ney, we mean. The day it happened, Greer asked MGM to please rush production on "Speak to Me of Love," the new name for the old "Nutmeg Tree." Greer wants to keep very busy. And she certainly was busy talking the night she dined at the Chanteclair with George Sanders, and, several nights later, with attorney Greg Bautzer.
