HULL Y WOOD, Dec. 10
(NANA). - Cspucine, the at
tractive actress from France,
is heading an organization
titled, The Enemies Of Lau-
renee Harvey" They are all
women and include several of
Larry's leading ladies on stage
and screen. They are signing /
up Jane Fonda, kim Novak
and possibly Elaine Striteh.
The purpose Of the group is to
make public rebuttals every
time Larry blasts his leading
ladies in print-which he did
recently in q weekly news maya
zine-or on the set. Capucine by
the way is now in Switzerland,
but obviously not to see william
in Hong Kong. -. Mr.. Holden
was paid his usual $50, 900 for
Paris When It Sizzles," now
titled. ''The Girl on the Eifel
Tower" The picture has had
many problems, and / raise
the question, Is any actor
worth S750,0O0 or 81 million
unless this comes from the
profits Of a picture. Mar
lon BrandO received a million
dollars for 'Mutiny on the
Bounty" To date this SIG mil
lion film has been written off
as a loss. Elizabeth Taylor
has received almost 81 million
from Cleopatra" 1t will be
quite a while before this pic
ture makes its $40 million
cost. I think stars should take
the same chance as the pro-
Queer or the studio. Big pay
when there are big profits. i
The lovers, by the way, did
not 60 to London as reported
elsewhere. They are basking
in the Mexican sun and will be
husband and wife by the time
Richard must come to New
York and Toronto to star in
Hamlet"
More news from the Just
finished, might Of the Iguana.
The most fascinating thing
about the whole experience was
seeing Michael WiIding, the ex-
mate Of Miss Taylor, helping
her secretary carry Burton's
lunch up the pathway to his
house.
Ava Gardner who went to
New York for a few days on the
way home to Madrid, was hap
Ply making the picture and
working for John Huston. She
was always on the set early.
Even when she was not called
for, she took the boat trip to
the location, just to sit around
and watch. Her only local es-
cort was the 25-year-old boat
man who had such a crush on
her that he copied Ava's favorite
pernod, and vodka gimlets.
AS for SUIT Lyons, she had
better find out what fiance
Hampton FranchOn III, is
writing - she was so vague
when questioned. Because no
one else seems to know what he
is writing either. And my most
recent report was that the
landlord Of his most recent
apartment in Hollywood, was
planning to sue for unpaid
rent. Sue, whom someone de-
scribed as ''our 90-year-old
teenager." has been hitting
those candy bars again. And
as any mother Of an adde's
cent will tell you, candy is not
good for the complexion.
Now take Deborah Kerr. She
is one Of "The Night of the
Iguana" stars, but because she
is simply a nice un-neurotic
girl, if l didn't keep telling you
here that she is also in the
picture, you wouldn't know it.
Okay. Deborah is spending a
week in New York with her
husband Peter Viertal, before
they 60 home to spend Christ
mas with their children, in
Switzerland.
