Edith Adams Is Married To One Comedian And Works For Another In a way, blonde Edith Adams is ,a comedians’ comedienne. She is mar¬ ried to one professional funnyman, Ernie Kovacs, and works for another. Jack Paar—for the past several months on CBS’ Morning Show, and beginning Monday, July 4, on the new daytime Jack Paar Show. Life among the wild Indians has had a decided effect on the former Juilliard enrollee, who once studied opera in five languages. She now takes gibes at opera stars in five languages. Occasionally, she “breaks up” over her own clowning, but is trying to control her gales of self-appreciation because the men in her life deem such behavior “unprofessional.” Could be, but it doesn’t really bother Edith too much because, basi¬ cally, she considers herself not a jokester but a singer. She hasn’t al¬ ways been sure, however. For instance, she points out, “I lost miserably on Godfrey’s Talent Scouts.” On the other hand, as a result of that failure, she reports proudly, she re¬ ceived nine job offers. Another source of pride is the pair of Donaldson Awards she copped for her portrayal of Eileen in “Wonderful Town,” the 1953 Broadway musical hit. Kovacs, who has a morning radio show, thinks normal people should sleep during the afternoon, but Edith rushes around taking lessons. He likes to enumerate them: “Voice, dancing, dramatics, Hungarian yo-yo . . .” Constantly worried about gaining weight, Eldith whips up an evil-look¬ ing stew of cooked wheat germ for her breakfast. Lunch consists of a spoutful or two of black strap mo¬ lasses, one raw egg, liberal sprink¬ lings of yeast powder and milk— thrown together and beaten well. She brings it from home. “It’s delicious,” she insists. “I rarely eat a sit-down meal any more. The concoction is more energy-giving.” The “concoction” sustains Edie until 5 P.M., when, no matter what she is doing, she “zooms” straight home to Ernie, who has zoomed straight home to her. “It used to be the only way we got to see each other. Then we got to like it. Now it’ll be the only way we see each other again!” Five P.M. is also the children’s hour with Kovacs’ two daughters by a for¬ mer marriage: Betty, 8, Kippy, ^Vz. Despite Edith’s crowded schedule, she finds time to do commercials for soap operas. “People tell me I’m be¬ ing groomed for bigger things,” she laughs, “but no one says what it is.” Ernie and Edie met four years ago when Kovacs was emceeing a 'TV show in Philadelphia. “Someone remem¬ bered a picture of a cute girl in the paper,” says Ernie, “so we called her.” His first impression, he recalls, was of a “white-faced blonde nervously scanning the sheet music.” “It was my first job,” says Edith. Edith reads script (more laughs!). ►
