Screenland (Nov 1950-Oct 1951)

Before she could recover from her shock, he continued. "You see, working with you has brought back all my old enthusiasm for acting again. So NOW what happens to me?" What happens is, Barry, who's made ten pictures in twelve months at MGM, is now the hottest thing in Culver City. There's a new deal cooking, they've already started to star him and he's Cesar gasped for that pause that refreshes and remarked, "I have certainly had a very different time in Rome. The Romans driving those scooters down the street inspired me. I thought I was a kid again. I jumped on one and went for a ride, only to slide off when a horse and carriage and a motor bus both ran into my course. I skidded on my left arm like a baseball player sliding into base." Indicating his bandages, he smiled and said, "I am still in the scooter age." I pretended I wasn't aware that he had chosen to ignore my questions. There was time. I had heard he had been escorting Barbara Stanwyck on a sightseeing tour of Rome and — "Yes," Cesar smiled pleasantly, "I've known Barbara and Bob for years. With Bob working at Cinecitta on 'Quo Vadis,' lies Lined to play some of those big, virile ro'es that are no longer right for Walter Pidgeon, Spencer Tracy and Clark Gable. Tucked away in the publicity files at Warners, is her original biography filled out in 1934 by Bette Devis. After the question, "What is your greatest ambition?" is written in her own handwriting: ''To be a good actress." Imagine her embarrassment — turning out to be a great one! Barbara said she'd go with me to see the Colosseum and Vatican City. We climbed up to the top of Michaelangelo's dome on St. Peter's. Last night I joined some fifty thousand Holy Year Pilgrims and stood two and a half hours to glimpse the Pope. My cousin is a Franciscan monk and we were able to join a New England group of Pilgrims who were seated right by the Pope's throne. I held out my hand with my Rosary and His Holiness put his hand on mine and blessed them. He is a wonderful man," Cesar remarked. "The heat and the long wait after that scooter accident suddenly caused me to feel faint. I thought this will never do for me. I came home here immediately really feeling off the beam. "I had planned to see the film festival at Venice today. They are running my last picture, 'Once A Thief,' which William Wilder produced and in which June Havoc also appears. However, here I am, and Wednesday I have to be in London to finish 'Happy Go Lucky.' I'll be glad to get back to Hollywood. I miss my friends and family." "Any certain person you'll be very glad to see?" Cesar laughed. "Certainly, my mother. I had a letter from her today. News from home — the death of Lamarr Trotti's son in an accident. The boy only 18. It was a terrible tragedy. Trotti is a producer at 20th Century-Fox. But good news about Ann Sothern, who is at Ocean House for a change and the sea air. And — " "Yes?" I prodded gently. "Hmmmm," Cesar sighed, admitting defeat in this subtle by-play. "I have a home in Brentwood with my who'e family living with me. Father and Mother and my two sisters and my niece and nephews and various pets. I miss them all." "But surely there must be one woman — " "Well, yes," he finally admitted. "And, surprising as it sounds, I had to go to London this Summer to find out how I felt — although I probably knew in my heart that she was the one all along. We bachelors are cautious to the extent that we secretly are so afraid of being ensnared in the heart department, that we pretend even to ourselves that falling in love is something we will never do.
