...done 10,000 commercials, talking as everything from a spark plug to a cereal. He is the entire cast of Tom and Jerry cartoons. He was Captain Swift on TV's Popeye show. During the TV run of the Howdy Doody show, he contributed 50 different characters. For Darryl Zanuck's forthcoming The Longest Day, Swift supplied the sheared-cornflower accents of Dwight David Eisenhower. He is the man who says, "I'm a Newport smoker forever"; who tells viewers to use one dab of Brylcreem, not two; who introduced the Chinese baby who could...
...technique was old, and old Darryl Zanuck knew it well. First the publicity flashbacks that recite your past glory and present strength, then the stern, quiet conversations, then finally and with trumpets, the march into town.

Its low-ranking flacks and Hollywood liaison men are for giving Hollywood what it wants at all times-tanks, planes, ammunition, West Point, Annapolis, nuclear warheads, classified information, bases overseas. But the Pentagon's Audio-Visual Division of the Directorate for News Services of the Public Affairs Division disagrees. It is now concerned about criticism from Congress, the source from which all that...
...grand old tradition of kiss-and-sell, sultry Parisian Singer Juliette Greco, 35, let upwards of 10 million European readers in on the details of her four-year whirl with Cinemogul Darryl F. Zanuck, 59, who took her from cellar cafes to stardom in The Roots of Heaven. "What can a young woman see in an elderly tycoon with a toothbrush mustache, who smokes like a chimney, speaks through his nose and is perpetually angry?" asked Juliette in serialized memoirs in Paris Match and London's weekly People. The answer, said she, was that "I have always loved lost...
