...time of life when most models begin to think of marrying a rich man and retiring to a Park Avenue duplex, Hutton is just beginning to hit her stride. "I have started coming together," she says. "I'm older, smarter, more comfortable with what...
...daughter's handsome, 6-ft. suitor, offered young Sarge a job at his Merchandise Mart in Chicago. Shriver accepted and eventually moved up to assistant general manager of the Mart; he wed the boss's daughter in 1953, and they settled down in a 14-room duplex.
