Ray Milland visits Sir Laurence Olivier's "Hamlet" set in England, while the Paramount star was making "So Evil My Love," with British star Ann Todd. Of course, conversation got around to the well-known "Oscar." Ray won his in 1945 for "The Lost Weekend": Olivier, last year for "Henry V." when Rudy Vallee finished singing the birthday serenade, he said to me, "Now that's one of the best imitations of Rudy Vallee I have ever heard!" Earlier in the evening Rupert introduced himself to Linda Darnell, who looked ravishing in an ivory satin and gold-brocaded gown, by saying, "How do you do? I'm Rupert Hughes. I'm the man who wrote 'Forever Amber.' " The Rex Harrisons (Lilli Palmer) , Linda and her husband, Pev Marley, Kurt Krueger, Selena Royle, Barbara Lawrence and her husband, John Fontaine, Pat Van Iver, Vic Orsatti and the rest joined in singing "Happy Birthday" to Frances when the cake was brought in with a typical Hollywood director's touch. It had a spotlight focussed on it! It was so nice to see adorable little Jean Simmons again at a cocktail party which the Walter Wangers gave for the petite British brunette in the red and white Crystal Room of the Beverly Hills Hotel. I had met Jean at the J. Arthur Rank studios when I was in England and I thought her most charming. Jean was visiting Hollywood en route to the Fiji Islands, where they were going to make location shots for "The Blue Lagoon." Walter and Joan Bennett wanted to give Jean a real Hollywood welcome, and all the guests were delighted with Jean's sweet, retiring and naive manner. She actually brought with her a blue and gold autograph album and asked June Allyson, Dick Powell, the Louis Jour dans, Dinah Shore and George Montgomery, Gene Markey, and Peter Lawford to sign it. Everyone was pleased, too, to see Lady Mendl, who is quite recovered from her recent serious illness. She was in great spirits, and when she saw little Elizabeth Taylor in a "New Look" dress, she quoted the Duchess of Windsor's remark to reporters when she landed in New York. "My legs are still 'see-worthy,' " said Lady Mendl. Sir Charles and Lady Mendl also gave a dinner party for the Alfred Lunts which attracted a record crowd of filmland favorites, including the seldom-seen Greta Garbo. I had a long talk with Garbo, who told me that she had planned on producing a picture in her native Sweden, but that the present state of affairs in Europe had caused her to abandon the idea. Maria Montez, dressed to the teeth, came over and asked me how I liked the very clapper mustache which her hushand, Jean Pierre Aumont, was wearing, while Sam and Frances Goldwyn counted votes on the various opinions. Before the evening was over, Jean Pierre went home and shaved it off! While I was chatting with Paulette Goddaid, artist Salvador Dali came over and asked Paulette if he could do her hands, because he thought they were the most expressive he had ever seen. Paulette smiled prettily and said, "Can't you just do the nails? I haven't had a decent manicure in months!" 62 SCREENLAND
