GOOD NEWS! September 1945
Judy Garland's wedding to Vincente Minelli was the most
simple and unpretentious ever held in Hollywood. Judy wanted no fuss or fanfare
and only ten people attended the ceremony, which was held in the living room of
her home.
The other June bride, Donna Reed, managed to get herself in
Dutch but plenty with the Los Angeles press. She knew that she was to be
married July 15th to Tony Owen, the agent. But when the newspaper
crowd asked her for information, she said, "I have no plans."
Ouch! Was there a fuss from all concerned when I said Clark
Gable and Joan Blondell were dinner dating off the set of Strange Adventure.
What can I say after I say I'm sorry—if it wasn't true. But certainly no one
will deny that Clark and Joan have a lot of fun kidding each other on the set.
It certainly isn't true that Gable, the one and only, and Greer Garson have
developed a chill. I know—because I was out on the set one day, had some laughs
with both Greer and Clark, and had my picture taken with them.
Poor Alan Ladd has finally found a place where he can eat in
peace. It is the very quiet and very dimly lighted Beachcombers, and every time
I go in there, I usually spot Alan and Sue at a little table for two almost
completely surrounded by bamboo walls.
There are plenty of stars in Hollywood, popular, too—who can
go almost anywhere without being molested. But Alan isn't one of them. He's
just as popular with the homegrown fans as he is with the "outside"
variety.
Shirley Temple entertained for a dozen of her classmates two
nights after graduation at the Beverly Tropics, and with no one to supervise
their eating, all the kids ordered the exotic Chinese plate with pressed duck
and all the trimmings.
The little hostess wore a Kelly green sports suit, matching
bag and a very cute off the face hat with a bright feather.
One of my spies, sitting nearby, heard one of the girls ask
Shirley, "Are you really going to wait three years to get married?"
to which she made the surprising reply, "No, I'm not."
Don't know what that means but we might watch out.
