...granted a passport to his scriptwriter and fast friend, Sonali Das Gupta, he said he planned to stay on in India for the present. In Paris, apparently unmoved by the news, his wife Ingrid Bergman had a happy, tearful reunion with pretty, 18-year-old Jennie Ann, her daughter by Dr. Peter Lindstrom. Ingrid showed the wide-eyed girl the Lido, the Louvre and Versailles, lost her temper only once to photographers who dogged them: "Can't you leave my miserable life alone...
Everything Pat knows of professional singing she learned from listening to records on a battered portable phonograph. The California-born daughter of a Japanese farmer (almonds, grapes and peaches), she passed the war years in a detention camp in Colorado, graduated from California's San Jose State College and lit out for New York and (she hoped) Europe before settling for a teaching career. In Manhattan her money dribbled away. To pay the rent Pat was willing to try anything, landed a walk-on spot in the road company of Teahouse of the August Moon. Cast members heard...
...Soprano Eugenia Ratti, 22, is the youngest of the current crop of Italian stars.

Albright put aside (temporarily) his work in progress of the past twelve...
Lavish with time (his wife was Josephine Medill Patterson, daughter of the founder of New York's Daily News), Albright tackled the portrait with his customary punctilio. For the first six months, Mrs. Block sat five times a week, two hours a sitting, then came twice a week for the next 18 months. Albright rigged up an ingenious arrangement of black window shades that allowed him to concentrate the eerie light exactly where he wanted it. He brandished up to 25 brushes at a sitting, most of them not much thicker than an eyelash, applied them to a palette...
