GOOD NEWS! August 1945
I love the letter from Red Skelton to a Hollywood pal about
his trip overseas. Writes Red: "The food was good, as food aboard ship
goes—and as food aboard ship goes, mine went! I was so sick my watch turned
green!"
Lana Turner's two-year-old cherub, Cheryl Crane, is rapidly
becoming a Pin-Up Girl on her own. Ran into Lana shopping the other day and she
told me proudly that her baby gets more G.I. mail than she does.
"She received the cutest pair of white doeskin boots
from Alaska," Lana said, "and they fit just perfectly. Seems that
'baby is getting shoes now'—but Mama has run out of stamps!"
That cute little guy, Barry Fitzgerald, has a silhouette of
an Oscar painted on his dressing room door at Paramount. Says that every time
he steps through the door he's reminded of what a lucky man he is. Luck? I call
it talent—and lots of it.
I've never known a girl to take even the slightest vestige
of criticism as hard as Betty Hutton. When it was just hinted that Betty had
feuded with her director on Stork Club and had walked off the set, she
cried her eyes out denying it.
"I'm a working girl," she told me. "I've
never walked off a set in my life. I might argue a point with someone—but I
don't do any front-office politics behind someone's back."
