Under Hedda's Hat - February 1963
Joan Crawford’s delighted with the rumor that she’ll marry New York’s Governor Nelson Rockefeller, but swears it’s not true. She met him only once—at a campaign party a year ago. I asked why she didn’t do some campaigning of her own, she replied, “I’m old-fashioned enough to think the fellow should ask.”
Bette Davis threatens Gary Merrill with complete annihilation
if he takes her into court over custody of the children. “You can quote me,” blazed
Bette. “At the time of our divorce I was a polite woman. If he persists in suing,
it’s going to be the dirtiest case in history and when it’s over he’ll never see
the children again.”
Merrill says he and Rita Hayworth are still friends, “but I’m
not very good at marriage. I think after two failures I should quit.”
Everyone in the know has his fingers crossed that the romance
between two big married stars is just a passing fancy that will be forgotten when
the picture they’re doing together is finished. Meanwhile, it’s proved to be
such a juicy bit of gossip that the names Liz and Burton have almost been forgotten.
Dolores Hart is definitely asking Steve Boyd to her wedding to
Don Robinson. “I’m going to make sure he can’t skip sending me a present,” she laughed.
Steve tried his best to woo Dolores but she knew all the time she was going to marry
Don. Don was so persistent. I heard he proposed twenty-five times before Dolores
said yes. You’d think it would have been kind of an old story on the
twenty-sixth round—but she got so excited she threw up. As to who’s consoling Steve,
you can bet he’s not weeping alone.
Ava Gardner and Claude Terrail, owner of the famous Tour D’
Argent restaurant and former husband of Barbara Warner, had themselves a time in
London where’s she’s taken a flat. It looked as though Ava was coming back strong
when she did 55 Days at Peking and was announced to do Pink Panther.
But her demands were so tough the Mirisch Brothers replaced her with Capucine.
Walter Mirisch said, “We make pictures for a living—not to expedite actors’ egos.”
Zsa Zsa Gabor took on a fourth husband, Herbert Hutner, after dating him but three weeks. She was an hour late for the ceremony. She said her mink coat wasn’t her best one—but it matched her wedding gown.
