Flash From Hollywood by Cal York: August 1961


Sophia Loren’s husband is reminding her that their annulment is only to keep them out of jail in Rome.

After all the talk about Vivien Leigh and John Merrivale, her Hollywood friends are saying that she’s never marry him.

Isn’t the marriage of Shirley MacLaine and Steve Parker on thin ground again? It appears more of a business arrangement than a marital affair. Perhaps Shirley, on her recent trip to Tokyo to film My Geisha, discovered why Steve spends so much time there.

If there is trouble between Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh, they’re keeping it a family secret. The two appeared as a couple of love birds at the annual SHARE party at the Moulin Rouge. Same party: Frank Sinatra and his ex-wife, Nancy. They have been seen together quite a bit recently, and one source claims that the impossible could happen. It would be the impossible if they remarried.

Liz Taylor and Eddie Fisher decided against staying in a ranch home while in Las Vegas for Eddie’s engagement at the Desert Inn. Main reason: They were warned in advance of another plot to kidnap Liz’s three children, and authorities advised them to say in a guarded suite at the hotel. Since a reported attempt to kidnap the children last year in London, Liz lives in constant fear that something will happen to them. She has issued orders that the three children are never to be left alone—even for a minute.
