ANOTHER GRACE KELLY?
Dina May Be Too Wealthy
BY JAMES BACON
Associated Press Writer

HOLLYWOOD-Ever since
Grace Kelly married her
prince. Hollywood has been
on the alert for another
wealthy beauty who could
act.
Twentieth Century Fox
has one under contract, but
she can't get her bosses to
take her career seriously -
she's too rich.
Her name is Dina Merrill.
She could buy goth Century,
Fox and the principality Of
Monaco, too. If she got her
family to help.
Look at this background.
Dina's mother is Mrs. Meri-

heiress; her father is E. F.
Hutton, the Wall Street
broker; her husband is STAN
ley Rumbough, jr.. president
of the American Totalisator
Corp. which makes the pari-

race tracks.
And, for a little frosting,
Rumbough is also the grand
son Of Gilbert Colgate, the
toothpaste and soap magnate.
Dina might have made 1t
by now If the family back
ground hadn't become known.
The studio had seen her on
a television play and signed
her for THE Desk Set" and
"a Nice Little Bank That
Should Be Robbed"
Her blond beauty is such
that she turns heads when
she walks into a Hollywood
party. Directors rate her as
a highly professional actress.
But when she asks the stu
dio front Office for a choice
role she says they tell her:
you really can't be serious
about an acting career-not

But serious she is. And with
her husbands approval.
