That's Hollywood For You by Sidney Skolsky: October 1956

By the way, Paul Newman looks and acts like Marlon Brando when he’s shopping for groceries in the Thriftmart—and you know a guy isn’t trying then…

Doris Day told me that she seldom goes to her own movies and hadn’t seen herself in Love Me or Leave Me yet. I told Doris to hurry and see herself in this movie; she’d like it and herself…

With me it’s all right if Martin and Lewis go their separate ways…

I’ve been told Gina Lollobrigida knows what she’s got as well as any man does…

If you’d like to see what Yul Brynner looks like with hair, tune in your TV set when an oldie Port of New York is playing the channels…

I know Grace Kelly is supposed to be ice. But there’s dry ice, you know, which looks cool but burns if you touch it…

Tony Perkins often walks barefooted from the Chateau Marmont to Schwabs, a good six blocks along Sunset Blvd…

That’s Hollywood for you.
