Hollywood Love Life continued from page 12 The youngster looked right into the camera and yawned. No wonder they named him after Perry Como. OUTSPOKEN-Hugh O'Brian doesn't fence the marriage issue. TV's Wyatt Earp feels this is the year for him to get married. His career is on the upbeat, he has security, and the time now to think about such things. Although he hasn't said whom he's thinking about, he's been seeing a lot of Monique Van Vooren. TRIM TWOSOME-Om the other side of the romantic ledger, Dennis Hopper isn't keeping it a secret that he prefers Venetia Stevenson. They drive look-alike cars, lunch daily at Warners, and boast similar hair styles. Venetia has had her blonde fiair cropped almost as short as Dennis' Napoleon bob. Her ex, Russ Tamblyn, has just been called into service by Uncle Sam. CARRIAGE TRADE-Rosemary Clooney and Mrs. Jerry Lewis are two gals who believe in large families. Patti is expecting her fourth, while Rosemary's little "Toulouse-Lautrec" will be baby number three for her and hubby, Jose Ferrer. Incidentally, you've never seen a layette such as Rosemary's accumulated. Everything from lace christening caps to open-toed straw sandals. "What no maracas?" we inquired. "Sure," she promised and immediately produced a pair the size of rattles. Many of the gifts are from Jose's fans in his native Puerto Rico. JUST PLAIN JACK-And, speaking of Sernas, the handsome "Paris" in "Helen Of Troy," is becoming quite Americanized. He and his wife and baby daughter have just moved into a home in Bel-Air, and he's instructed all his new friends to call him Jack instead of the Gallic Jacques. In order to get away from that RETIRED temporarily from film work, Vera Miles, with hubby Gordon Scott, awaits stork. overly-handsome dubbing, he's cropped his curly blond hair into a two-inch Marine crewcut. PARTY TIME-Kirk Douglas busted lose with a real wing-ding. The fun-fest was a combined housewarming, farewell to Hollywood (he's off to Europe for film commitments), and a good oldfashioned get-together with his friends. Taking a cue from his picture, "The Viking," Kirk and Ann went Nordic in their decorations, which included a Norwegian coat of arms on their napkins and giant ice carvings of ships as centerpieces. Three hundred guests were on hand. FAMILY PLANS-/a«^ Leigh, who hadn't made a film in a year prior to "Badge Of Evil," admits her favorite role is that of mother. In fact, she and Tony hope to have two more youngsters. "We think two boys and a girl would make the perfect combination," they agree. Another new role for Janet is that of co-producer in the couple's. Curtleigh Production Company. Understand their first film, "Cortez And Son," will be shot in Mexico and Janet thinks Gina Lollobrigida or Sophia Lor en would be an ideal co-star for Tony. How's that for an understanding wife! THE COVER-UP-Jayne Mansfield, who has been reprimanded for her decollete evening gowns, did an about-face. She arrived at a recent party bundled up to the chin in a white fox cape and refused to take it off even when dancing with favorite fella Mickey Hargitay. The $5,000 cape was long, and cut full — just like Jayne. WEDDING BELLS— 5Ae//ey Winters and Tony Franciosa are shopping for a brownstone apartment as their honeymoon quarters in New York.

And Betty Lou Keim and Warren Berlinger, the cute twosome in "Teenage Rebel," are now going steady and may name the date very soon. MORE NEWLYWEDS Now that Henry Fonda has won his beautiful Contessa, he can be extremely proud of his tall, regal-looking bride. She has an uncanny style sense that turns heads wherever she goes. Although Afdera is a member of one of Europe's wealthiest families, she's never ostentatious. PACK OF PECKS-Gregory and wife Veronique, incidentally, have had a full house. Greg's three sons stayed with the couple while their mom, Greta Peck, vacationed in the West Indies. Peck joined the youngsters in their baseball workouts, but the real excitement occurred when their prize Weimaraner had puppies. SHORT CUT-Doris Day shrugs off that theory women dress to please other women. "Not me," she admits. "I dress to please the men in my life, my husband, Marty, and my son, Terry." In fact, she got their vote of approval before she snipped her locks and turned into an ice blonde. BUDGET BENDER— .Rocfc Hudson called wife, Phyllis, every day on the trans-Atlantic phone the entire time he was in Italy without her. The studio updated the start of his film, "A Farewell To Arms," and she was hospitalized with a liver complaint, so their plans got scrambled. But things are always happening to them. If it's not time schedules, it's transportation. Their most vivid experience was sightseeing in the mountains, when the brakes of their car gave away. Phyllis was at the wheel, and after a few frightening minutes careening around curves, Rock managed to throw the gearshift in low and bring the car to a stop. Accordcontinued on page 74 63
