HOLLYWOOD tNANA) -
How would you like to be
married to a man who cele-
brates your wedding anniver-
sary EVERY month? This
delicious state of affairs is en-
ioyed by Terry Moore who,
before her marriage to mil
lionaire Eugene McGrath on
January a year ago, was
better known for her fur
bikinis and underwater movie
epics.
first met Terry here nine
years ago when, a wide-eyed
and innocent-l o oking I'M
known. she was chosen to play
the girl who competed with a
horse for the affections of
Glenn Ford. She's still wide
eyed--mostly over the magni-
f1cent loot lavished on her by
her loving mate.
Jewels to Real Estate
For our firSt-month an
niversary, Gene gave me
diamond earrings" Terry told
me blissfully. THE next month,
a gold bracelet and a solid gold
carry all. Third month, a race
horse. Fourth, a five-carat
diamond ring. Next. a diamond
bracelet from Tiffany's. The
sixth-month anniversary, there
was a blue Cadillac Eldorado
waiting outside the door. After

and so-called family pictures,
stuck to the old Hollywood
policy of developing it's own
stable Of players. Hudson thus
was destined to become the
most successful alumnus of
the VI talent school.
Curtis and Jeff Chandler
went through the school at
the same time but, though
successful. haven't quite
reached the stature of Hudson.

An Award Contender
Now Hudson. only few
short years out of U-I's talent
school. is being touted as an
Academy award contender.
But there was a turning
point even before Giant"

tab him big and dumb-but
he's far from that. The way
he has handled himself in his
career disproveS that.
Rock has known his direc-
ton ever since he first started
here" a long time friend at
Universal International re-
ports. HE knows what he's
doing every minute and he's
never needed a psychoanalyist
to help him through a picture,
like some others we know"
Hard to Describe
Phyllis Gates, his agents
secretary. was his best girl for
a long time even though COL
umnists repeatedly linked him
with famous stars. He often
said he wouldn't marry until
he was 80. A week before that
birthday. a year ago last No
vember, he married Phyllis.
Hudson is easier to describe
negatively. He's not zestful
like Flynn, nor rough and tough
like Wayne nor stiff and
formal like Gregory Peck.
Rather, he's taciturn like
Cooper, friendly like Holden
and considerate like Gable.
He gives an insight on why
big men often are the strong
silent type.
We're up so high that
sometimes we can't hear what
is being said without bending
over. SO we often keep quiet"
Respects His Job
Hudson's emergence as a
major star must be laid to two
things:
/. A professional respect for
his job. which means hard
work. concentration and study.
2. Timing and luck.
On the latter, Hudson
started at a time when the
movies. in a box Office fight
with television. turned to
ready made stage names for
much Of its talent.

HOLLYWOOD (Pl. - The
other day a man who owns a
string of movie houses made
an observation that will startle
even Rock Hudson.
Hudson, the Snowman OBJ
serves, is the only major screen
hero wholly developed by the
movie industry in the last five
years. There have been Bran
dos, Cliffs. Sinatras. Presleys,
Borgnines and others, but all
came from the stage, television
or records.
It's a statement that is
bound to provoke howls from
the followers of Tony Curtis,
Tab Hunter, Bob Wagner and
other bobby sox idols who were
movie spawned.
"I've been a Snowman for
35 years." the exhibitor argues,
land if there is one box-office
fact I'm sure of it, it's this:
That the biggest ticket sellers
are big, handsome men who are
shy, even clumsy, in their
screen lovemaking.
They appeal to all sexes
and all ages, ! give you Coop
er, Wayne and now Hudson"
In the Tradition?
The theater man, a friend
Of many actors, asked that he
not be identified by name. He
does not know Hudson.
Is Hudson in the tradition
of the Coopers and the
Waynes?
He's about as handsome as
a big man can be. Black. wavy
hair tops a 6-foot-4, 220-pound
frame. Physically, he looks
like an All-America tackle.
II he's shy with his screen
lovemaking, it's not acting be-
cause he basically is a shy
man. Most actors are ego
maniacs. else they wouldn't
be actors. Hudson is a rarity
"a modest actor.

THE PASSING SHOW
Great Man. Still
Trails His Author

Mr.. Wallace seemed obsessed
with the idea that Herb Fuller
has to be Arthur Godfrey with
whom Mr.. Morgan worked at
Columbia Broadcasting for II
years and next to whom Nor
gan once had an Office for o
month.
II pointed out to him that I
had Offices next to a lot Of
people for longer intervals"
Mr.. Morgan says. Naturally,
this didn't work so ! asked Mr..
Wallace a question although
that's against the rules of the
program. What / wanted to
know was whether his own
program. flercely inquisitive
and getting results, was not
already giving him a strange
sense of power. Power not I'M
like the power that which
blind public alteration gave to
Herb Fuller to make him a

Answer EquivOcal
Wallace's answer was not as
unequivocal as Mr.. Morgan
hoped.

to Garroway. Just for fun. of

His new book also is about a

books should be.

Way of Life Same
Mr.. Morgan, medium sized
with a 1.-the energetic look and
eager-eyed, a physical match
for his partner. Ferrer, in many
ways, maintains his way Of
life despite his sudden burst
of success. He, Mrs. Morgan

Ethel Sets
A Limit on
Her Stay
BY WILLIAM GLOVER

NEW YORK (P). - Ethel
Norman, thrilling like all get
out, is triumphantly back on
Broadway. But she has already
made UP her mind about how
long she's going to stay.
I'm in the show for 10
months-that's all" the lady

ness and resolve are as re-
nowned and sure as the vast
brassy voice holding a high G
for Is bars.
Her determination is due
to few other items which now
outshine the White Ways
lights in the veteran stars
esteem. First she is a wife and
mother-then comes show bus

Queen Ethel is back after an
extended sojurn in the Rock

years l was away from Broad
Way--it was only four.
"Since then I've made some
movies and been on television
a number of times-does that
sound like retirement"
Miss Norman chats in q
dressing room interview (she
never sees any fans backstage)
in a mood of combative seren-
ity. After 30-plus years in a
tough-skinned profession, she
seems sensitively alert in dis
cussing her work, her family,
her current vehicle.
She is back in town because,

AL Morgan is an interesting
type, among other reasons. for
having done at 81 what most
newspapermen have not man
aged at twice his age.
He wrote a book, THE Great
Man" while holding down an
other writing job that kept
himself and three other Nor
gans in shelter, food. clothing
and comfort. AS result Of the
novel, which became first
best-seller and then a movie.
Mr.. Morgan is jobless and
happy.
He didn't get fired, under
stand. He just wrote himself
free from all clocks save his
own. Mr.. Morgan is a little
amazed at this, having aSso-
ciated with and thoroughly
understood dozens of chaps
like himself who never got
around to writing their books.
Does 1t Again
Mr.. Morgan has done an
other startling thing; maybe
more startling. He has written
another book on his own time
and we'll before-three years,
he figures-he had any partic-
ular need for money. He has
also written a movie. an orig
inal. This one, called THE Ja-
loppy," he also will make with
Jose Ferrer as his writing
partner. his co-producer and
as the pictures star and di-
rector.
THAT Ferrer, he's wonder
full" Mr.. Morgan says.
The dramatic thing about
the subsequent writing is that
THE Great Man" is the kind
of book that takes up more of
a mans time after he has writ
ten it than before. He is end
lessly plagued with questions
of people trying to identify his
title character, television's
champion heel, with one or
another of television's national
idols.
Herb Fuller, the great man
of the novels title, lis actually
nobody" Mr.. Morgan says. "Of
course he could be any one of
a dozen people. Attach the
clues in the book, one by one,
to anybody and I'll relate them
just as pertinently to not one
but several others just as
prominent"
Now that the book has be-
come film, the inner-circle
gumshoeing is hotter than ever
and Mr.. Morgan steadily more
cool in parrying questions.
Chase Intending
Columnists. critics. television
interviewers and inquisitors
who might be themselves on
the way to great manhood,
never stop battering Mr.. Nor
gan with their absolute con-
victions on the identify of his
novels villain. 1t has become
a game that Mr.. Morgan plays
with enjoyment and, although
he does not say so, obviously
with great skill.
He recently took on Mike
Wallace who has become a
New York television sensation
with a cross-examination pro-
gram that wrings their inner
most secrets from his guests"
