...made $5,000 a week -in real dollars. His teen-age escapades became staples of the gossip columns, and the studio hired a male duenna to keep him in line. That was not easy, and when he was 21, Mickey took his first wife, an unknown actress named Ava Gardner...
...Harris, as the only doctor aboard, has been encouraged to dye his hair white-blond. And why Sophia Loren, as Harris' estranged wife, is working in a gray make up that makes her look plagued even before the dis ease breaks out.
