That’s Hollywood For You

I know that Bob Wagner and Natalie Wood are trying to act like movie stars offscreen. They recently rented the only house in Beverly Hills that has a swimming pool with salt water… . When you’re listing the great letter-writers, put down the name of Elvis. Almost every good-looking doll I meet tells me she just received a personal letter from Presley. . . . Jack Palance has a voice like black coffee without sugar. . . . Frank Sinatra sings “I Could Have Danced All Night” so great that he makes it sound like a new song. . . .






Quotable Quote from Tony Randall: “I’ve got the kind of face that looks as if I’ve already been waited on.” . . . I’m sorry that Edward R. Murrow quit doing “Person to Person.” I was going to watch him until he visited the wrong house. . . . The hip young man Mort Sahl is usually put down by girls and love. “Girls tell me I analyze too much. Why don’t I follow my feelings? That’s ridiculous. If I followed my feelings I’d be an outlaw.”






I miss Lauren Bacall. . . . Sir Laurence Oliver is puzzled by our music and all the jazz that goes with it. “I can’t understand a country where when their music is real hot it’s cool.” . . . Barrie Chase is an unfinished person who is as intriguing as an unfinished crossword puzzle. . . . I’ve had it with books and plays and articles about F. Scott Fitzgerald. He would have had it, too! . . . Tommy Sands is trying to be like Pat Boone, who is trying to get away from being like Pat Boone. . . . Quotable Quote from Doris Day: “Have you ever torn up a snapshot of yourself you didn’t like? Can you imagine looking at yourself on the screen and feeling that way? I have.” . . .






1959’s Oscar derby will be exciting. In the winter book we have such entries as “The Diary of Anne Frank,” “The Nun’s Story.” “Ben Hur.” “Porgy and Bess,” “Spartacus” and “The Last Angry Man,” to mention just a few. . . . And Kim Novak had a niche built into her new home for an Oscar. . . . Now that Pamela Mason is on so many TV panel shows, I’m able to understand James Mason’s behavior. Starlet Googie Schwab told me why she’s getting a divorce. “My husband is too changeable. A month ago I adored him. Today I hate the sight of him.”






Sandra Dee and her young mother could go out on a double date. And they do! discovered by Lee Strasberg. It was Strasberg who was discovered by Brando. . . . Marlon Brando wasn’t

. . . Marilyn Monroe can afford to be late as long as customers hurry to the box office to see her. . . . I’d like to stroll around M-G-M with Norma Shearer if she’d comment while on the tour. . . . Yul Brynner is unique. He looks younger with no hair than he does with hair. . . . Quotable Quote from Susan Hayward: “Marriage should be made more difficult and divorce much easier.” . . . Rock Hudson could give Emily Post lessons in politeness. . . . Efrem Zimbalist Jr. says he is pleased that the studio didn’t try to change his name, . . . Zsa Zsa and Eva Gabor usually spend Sundays doing laundry—their diamonds! That’s Hollywood For You!
