HULL HOOD MANA. -
You might say that was the
month that was. Madame
Nhu, incidentally, will not be
coming back to stay with the
Allen Chases in Beverly Hills, |
that is-if she comes back at
all. She is really better off in
Europe and especially France
where they speak her language. |
/. NOnetheless, a couple of
hardy writer's are going ahead
to write the story Of her life.
|. look forward to reading
a complete story Of Jacqueline
BORvier Kennedy. No one
would believe the events Of the
recent week if they were only
fiction or a film which ! wish |
they were. We are having sew
eral films with president"
themes coming up in the near
future-three that come to
mind, Seven Days in May"
''Dr. Strangelove," and ''Kisses
For My President" The latter
about a woman President. =. Il
Olivia de HaviIland owns the
house where she has lived with
Pierre GaIante in Paris. If they
divorce, as seems likely, Olivia
will sell the house which is too
big for Pierre to afford on his
journalists salary, and she will
come to live again in America
which is a good place to come
home to.
Jack Lennon will take two
months off to pubhcize his pic
ture 'Under the Yum Yum
Tree" in Australia. Producer
Freddie BrissOn viii 60 along |
for the summer, in winter,
down under. -. Laurence
Harvey sold his Rolls Royce
so many people in Hollywood
have them-and instead is roll
ing around in a white Bentley
convertible that nicked him for |
$4,000. You can view it on
Mrs. Joan COINS driveway in
Beverly Hills. / can't mag
inc why Larry is hesitating
about marriage with Joan. She |
is pretty, rich, quiet and
charming, a perfect mate for
a gregarious actor. :. The |
Lord Jim" director, Richard |
Brooks, will be shooting for |
three months with his high |
priced cast in Cambodia. And |
with people like p. O'TOOle,
James Mason, Eli WaIlach, |
Akin TamirOff and Paul Lukas |
to pay every week, he is hoping |
for no political upheavals.
What with Cary Grant making |
so many millions from his
films, it is interesting to repeat
that he did not have an agent |
during any Of the negotiations |
for the movies that have made
him so rich. But he did have a
lawyer, Stanley Fox, who is
also his partner. Even Cary
can't do it all by himself.
S. IS
My pet detestation: Full page
photograph ads Of lesser known
actresses in the Hollywood
trade papers, without their
names. It's all right for Harry
BelafOnte to leave his name off,
and other big shots who usually
don't, but the secondary group
should be identified. Reno
ROSsellini, RObertO's quite |
grOwn-up son from his first
marriage, has been wooing Ca
thy O'Brien in the Eternal City |
of Romance. And we do mean
Rome. Dennis Weaver, Ole
Limpy in "GunSmoke," is now
limping for real. One Of his
racehorses, the cad, kicked him |
in the shin. Melina Mer-
cOuri is on a "giving spree"
Now she thinks women are like
cats. Calculating. "Men are
more generous. l should hope
so. The Hebrew version of
my Fair Lady" opens at the
Habima Theater in Tel Aviv,
come February. And not to
be profane, Princess Grace uSu-
ally asks friends in London to
fly pounds and pounds of those
famed pork chops sold by Fort
mum and Mason's down to Mo-
nac0.
The big problem at the tiny
Bistro Restaurant, is whom to
sit next to whom. You have to
be careful with half the town d.
vorced from each other. There
are only 10 tables downstairs
and 80 upstairs. Sometimes the
/. investors have to be turned
away when there is party up
stairs. l think perhaps if Mike
ROmanOff had kept his original
small restaurant on North Ro-
dec drive, instead of charging
it on South Rodeo, he would still
be in business today. People
like to be crowded. 1t gives
them a feeling of being among
the chosen few who were impor-
tant enough to get in.
