Gossip! Gossip! Gossip! Cal York: December 1961
Troy Donahue and Suzanne Pleshette played their love scenes
for real on the location of Lovers Must Learn. Come to think of it, so
did Bobby Darin and Sandra Dee when they were there for Come September.
I wonder? Could it be the climate?
Aren’t Natalie Wood and Warren Beatty secretly making their
wedding plans for early in 1962? There’s talk that she’ll obtain a Mexican
divorce from Bob Wagner. And when you’re divorced in Mexico, you can turn
around and get hitched again five minutes later. Strange than R.J. has shown a
dating interest in Joan Collins, the one-time future Mrs. Warren Beatty. I’d
say the relationship is more mutual consolation than romance. And the latest rumour
going around about the cause of the Wood-Wagner breakup is really a shocker.
Too shocking to print.
Hollywood laughed at the Rita Hayworth-Gary Merrill Bermuda
shorts romance. I didn’t, and they eventually admitted they were more than
friends—especially when Gary accompanied Rita to Switzerland to put Yasmin in a
school there. He finally put on a long pair of pants for the plane ride. Rita’s
divorce from Jim Hill won’t become final until September of 1962. But there’s
always Mexico to speed things up.
The Rosemary Clooney-Jose Ferrer split caught Hollywood by
surprise—except for their close friends, that is, who had been expecting it for
some time. And now I wonder if Jose will start dating a young actress who has
had her eyes on him?
They say The Clan is dying, but Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin,
Sammy Davis, Jr., and Joey Bishop are scheduled for another ‘Summit Meeting’ at
the Sands Hotel in 1962. We understand that Peter ‘Pentagon’ Lawford won’t
participate. There have been rumours that Peter resigned from the club, but he’s
not talking.
