brella for a single second — took it to the Fijis with her. Reckon she thinks she's still in Eng., where it rains pretty often. * * * Cute little Chinese gal, Judy Dan, won the title of "Miss Hong Kong," fourth place in the "Miss Universe" contest and is now in "Sixty Saddles For Gobi" at 20th. The producer, Stanley Rubin, was yakking with Richard Widmark, also in the pic, and they decided she didn't look Oriental enough for the part. So an American makeup artist went to work on her, adding Asiastic touches here and there. * * * On her birthday, Esther Williams was swimming around in her new MGM-er, "Dangerous When Wet," with a new charm for her bracelet. Mermaid charm from her ever-lovin'. Got a crystal mink from him, too. This is the newest and, of course, the most expensive type of mink you can find. * * * Joan Evans, just back from her honeymoon with Kirby Weatherly, reported for work with Audie Murphy in U-I's "Column South," whammed into a doorway on the set and got herself a black eye. Audie was telling her about having to come back from his wedding trip early for a two-minute love scene. Joan, who makes violent love to Audie in this epic, asked him who the girl was. He allowed it wasn't a girl at all but his horse. rV. * * * Jean Peters' got worms. Zillions of 'em. Imported from England, all 2,000 to work and slave in the soil of her garden so her camellias will grow better. Isn't that a bird? Well, maybe the birds should stay atvay, all in all — imported worms are hard to come by. * * * She should invite Olivia de Havilland over to help out. Miss O., working on "My Cousin Rachel" and living in a hotel, misses her garden so that she zips around the 20th lot on her lunch hour, snipping flowers like mad. Don't let those studio gardeners catch you, girl. * * * Peggy King, the new little gal who looks like and sings like Judy Garland (you'll see in MGM's "The Bad And The Beautiftd") was crazy about the trumpeter in Ray Anthony's band — named Knobby Lee, but there wasn't much they could do about dates because she was appearing with Billy Daniel at Mocambo and he was busy tooting with the band. Now if she married him we'd have another Peggy Lee, girl singer, sounding like Judy, Confusing. * *. # Only thing young Colin Kelly III v:anted to do when he visited his uncle out here was to meet Roy Rogers. This was all arranged arid he was a happy kid. He's the son of the great war hero, Colin Kelly II, you remember. * * * If these apartments could talk — Mona Freeman's got the apartment Ronald Reagan used to live in. Mona's ex, Pat Nerney, has the one the present Mrs. Reagan (Nancy Davis) used to live in. The Ronnie apartment is the same one Jane Wyman lived in before Ronnie married her.
