...Jean-Marc Bory, who played the lover, was scarcely revealed as a character, let alone a lover. But Moreau emerged as the consummate woman. When The Lovers won a prize at the Venice Festival, Moreau became celebrated as the Brave New Woman, the "Jeanne d'Arc of the boudoir." But it was the end of the affair with Malle...
...House and across the street at Blair House (where Margaret Truman Daniel and her husband were putting up), a lot of beds and rooms needed reshuffling. Luci gave up her bedroom for a dressing-room cot to make space for several good Texas friends; Lynda Bird shared her yellow boudoir with a girl friend, and Governor John Connally got to sleep in Lincoln...

Goodbye Charlie. Debbie Reynolds wakes up screaming. And why not? She is in a man's bed, wearing a man's pajamas. When Tony Curtis strides into the room an instant later, anyone steeped in the conventions of boudoir farce knows that her next line has got to be: "What happened last night?" Instead, Debbie gives Tony a hearty, hail-fellow look and asks: "Don't you know me? Look at me, George. I'm Charlie. I'm Charlie Sorel...
