We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.

Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

Despite what you hear, Vittorio loves to stay home with me and the baby. He never argues about going out to parties or premieres or night clubs. If he doesn't feel like going he just says quietly, "We're not going." And that's the way it is. The first period of our marriage was rugged and understandably tough. We come from completely different backgrounds, not to mention different countries, plus the facts that we couldn't speak the same language and have two totally different temperaments. We lived through our first period of adjustment, however, and now have an understanding of each other, on which is based, as someone put it, our compatibility. On Vittorio 's return from Italy he had a bad cold and, as we were also having baby nurse problems, we just stayed home all the time and played with the baby and had a wonderful time. Then along came a big premiere, given by Universal-International, my own studio, and we were eager to attend. When I told Vittorio, his expression was one of "Do we have to go?" which diluted into noble acquiescence. There was endless popping of bulbs by the photographers that night even during the picture. And later at Ciro's they kept right on taking pictures. Finally, Vittorio said to me, "How many must they take!" 'This is Hollywood, darling," I reminded him, for in Italy they politely ask permission to take a picture. It is just another change of custom for Vittorio. It seems every time we go out to get in the car I forget and open the door myself and jump in. Vittorio will say, "Okay, now get out and get back in again properly." I can't remember that a gentleman always opens the car door for a lady, but Vittorio has been raised that way. I try to remember and appreciate all of the gentlemanly little courtesies he pays me.
