...know how to wash. I have never sewn a stocking. My husband will have to give me a houseful of servants if he wants a hot dinner and clean clothes now and then." Most women who talked like that would drive their husbands to uxoricide, but fortunately, Italian Actress Rosanna Schiaffino, 26, married a well-heeled Roman producer who can afford to have someone else wash his shirts. Besides, Rosanna has other advantages, such as resembling Gina Lollobrigida and going out to earn her own stocking money. Last week the hard-working girl flew into New York to flack prettily...
Breakfast Reading. In the late '40s, Reagan was plagued with problems beyond his political and professional environment. His wife of eight years, Actress Jane Wyman, whom he had met while filming Brother Rat, decided to divorce him in 1948.

One night they dined at "21," attended a penthouse party for Actress Ruth Ford after her Broadway opening in Dinner at Eight, then danced until 1 a.m. at El Morocco. Another evening they dined at Orsini's with Actress Merle Oberon, her husband Bruno Pagliai, and the Henry Fords, afterward returned to El Morocco...
Died. Gertrude Berg, 66, actress-writer, originator and star of radio-TV's The Goldbergs; of a heart attack; in Manhattan. Raised in the large, loving lap of an East Harlem Jewish family ("We didn't have Tennessee Williams problems," she once said. "It was more George Kaufman"), she had only to elaborate on her memories ("Yoohoo, Mrs. Bloom!") to sustain the 25-year run of her show, whose momentum carried her to Hollywood (Molly) and Broadway (A Majority of One) as leading popularizer of the formidable art of Jewish motherhood...
