Dinah Shore and her husband, George Montgomery, chat at Hollywood party with Ava Gardner, who has been going out in groups since her latest spat with Frank Sinatra. going Robert Newton and Vera Budnick were married on June 15 in Beverly Hills, and on June 13 in Klosters, Switzerland, Marta Toren married Leonard Bercovici. Elizabeth Fraser and writer Charles K. Peck, Jr. were married in Los Angeles on June 21, and Beverly Wills (daughter of Joan Davis) married Lee Bamber in Carson City, Nevada, on June 22. June 27 Ginny Simms and Robert Milton Calhoun flew to Las Vegas to be married in the Flamingo Hotel at 11 p.m. It was Ginny 's second marriage, Bob Calhoun's first. By September Ginny had moved out of the redecorated honeymoon home prepared for her by Bob, and they were busy trying to adjust their lives to one another on an adult basis. On June 28 in New Canaan, Connecticut, Artie Shaw took Doris Dowling as his 7th bride; among other Mesdames Shaw were Lana Turner. Ava Gardner, and Kathleen Winsor. To bring the month to a triumphant close, Kurt Kasznar (uho was so good as Uncle Louie in "The Happy Time") married Leora Shepherd Dana in Cold Spring Harbor, New York, on June 29. July provided three nuptial events of note: On the 7th in Kanab. Utah (where she was working on location) , Rhonda Fleming became the bride of Dr. Lewis V. Morrill; on July 27 Joan Evans married Kirby Weatherly in Los Angeles at the home of Joan's godmother. Joan Crawford; on July 31 in Greenwich, Connecticut, Johnnie Johnston (ex-spouse of Kathryn Grayson) took Shirley Camel as his wife. August could provide only one wedding of Hollywood import and that happened in New York when Jack Carson and Lola Allbright were married, and September witnessed, in New York, the marriage of Mrs. Lucille Wright and Gene Markey, former husband of Joan Bennett, Hedy Lamarr and Myrna Loy, and one of the best-liked men (by men as well as women) in the picture business; in Los Angeles on September 20 60 Audrey Totter became Mrs. Leo Fred in a white satin ceremony. The fragmentation reports were, as usual, deeply regretted. On February 28 in Santa Monica Gene Tierney divorced Oleg Cassini; they were married on June 1, 1941, and had two daughters, Daria, 8, and Christina, 3, and in keeping with the ultimate good manners of both, Gene and Oleg have remained good friends. In March, Louis Calhern and his wife of six years, Marianne Stewart, separated and contemplated divorce. On March 6 Carol Saroyan divorced William Saroyan for the second time. They had married on February 20, 1943, divorced on November 16, 1949, remarried on March 25, 1951. There are two children, Aram, 8, and Lucy, 6. On St. Patrick's Day, which doubtless had nothing to do with it, Hedy Lamarr divorced Ted Stauffer. March 24 — Patsy Lydon shed Johnny Meyer after a two-year marriage. Mona Freeman moved into an apartment on April 11 and secured a divorce from Pat Nerney on September 25 after 7 years of marriage. Another legal bombshell was the divorce suit of Terry Moore vs. Glenn Davis and Terry's resumption of her own . legal name, Helen Koford. Beetsie and Keenan Wynn separated on April 16, but at year's close no divorce suit had been filed and it was hoped that a reconciliation could be worked out. April 18 in Las Vegas Xavier Cugat divorced Lorraine Cugat, and on April 21 in Los Angeles Sylvia, the former Lady Ashley, divorced Clark Gable. Also on April 28 Celeste Holm divorced Schuyler Dunning, and Zsa-Zsa Gabor announced her separation from George Sanders. At year's end this action seemed to have resulted only from Zsa-Zsa's April attack of measles and to have no serious meaning. Alexis Smith and Craig Stevens decided on a trial separation as of May 9, but there was an excellent cliance of reconciliation at the holidays. Probably the most mixed-up wuz-it or wuz-it-not separation honors were taken by Phyllis Hill and her husband Jose Ferrer, who were said to be parting, or perhaps not parting; on the side lines seemed to be Rosemary Clooney, the "Come On-a My House" girl, whose studio (Paramount) was busily trying to persuade her that a single girl's career advanced more rapidly than that of a matron. On May 14, the divorce suit originally filed on March 26 by Acquanetta against artist Henry Clive, was dismissed, but the divorce suit filed by Marjorie Reynolds for the second or third time against Jack Reynolds culminated in an interlocutory decree. They were married in 1936. Barbara Payton was divorced by Franchot Tone on May 19. Also on May 19, Dolores Barrymore Fairbanks divorced T. A. Fairbanks after two years of marriage, the birth of two children. She is the daughter of John Barrymore and Dolores Costello. The John Waynes separated again on May 20, and at year's close were trying to adjust their differences: John wished their termination to be outright divorce. Esperanza (Chata) was holding out for separate maintenance. Olivia de Havilland announced her separation from Marcus Goodrich on May 17 and an interlocutory decree was granted on August 26, her 6th wedding anniversary. Stormy love life during 1952 was that of Arlene Dahl and Lex Barker. Their first announced separation took place around the middle of May, but during June they spent several honeymoon holidays together at Laguna Beach. A complete reconciliation was announced on July 7, and in September they separated and announced plans for an immediate divorce. On May 21 "Cisco Kid" Duncan Rinaldo was divorced from his wife, Lea, and he was given custody of their three children. June, too, was rifty: Veronica Lake divorced Andre de Toth, Barbara Fuller (Claudia of "One Man's Family") divorced Western star Lash LaRue, Helen Walker divorced Edward Du Domaine after a two-year marriage, and Ruth Warrick divorced decorator Carl Neubert. On July 28 Helen Cobb divorced Lee J. Cobb after twelve years of marriage, the birth of two children; and the same day Kay Williams dropped Adolph Spreckels II after six years of marriage, birth of two children. A good deal of consternation was felt when Maureen O'Hara divorced Will Price, and when Gloria Grahame divorced Director Nicholas Ray in August. Another sad termination was that of the marriage of Teresa Wright and Niven Busch after ten years, two children. The Las Vegas divorce of Lydia Lamas on September 11 cleared the way for the marriage of Lana Turner and Fernando Lamas who make up a stunningly handsome couple. Other terminations as 1952 ran out:
