...dawn, and Glenn was on the phone again. "Ridiculous," he snorted. They were "only kidding." Not so Linda. "Glenn proposed," she insisted. "He was so nervous he had three helpings of Wiener schnitzel. I think he should go to a rest camp." Instead, he went out with Rita Hayworth, and Linda's six-word telegram flew at his fickle heels: "Drop dead-and I'm not kidding...
...Cancer) Miller settled at Big Sur in 1944, found it a place "of grandeur and of eloquent silence," and attracted a group of pre-beatnik sandal wearers of all sexes, who gathered evenings for drinks and folk dancing at Nepenthe, once the house of Orson Welles and Rita Hayworth but now the region's most famous and almost only tavern, run by an intellectual refugee from San Francisco named Bill Fassett. Then came another brand of fugitive to Big Sur's beauty, such as retired Editor-Publisher William L. Chenery. ex-Diplomat-Journalist Nicholas Roosevelt, a cousin...
...theater season has been competing with the obituary pages. Four Broadway-bound shows, Banderol, A Matter of Position, There Must Be a Pony and La Belle were entombed en route.

His wildly impressionistic Othello, and Macbeth in Scottish burr, were called moody masterpieces in Europe, but failed miserably in the U.S. Aside from brief bits of acting (most memorably in The Third Man and Compulsion), Welles did little more than perpetuate his public caricature. Smoking sequoia-sized cigars, he waddled like an exiled giant through Europe, looking gloomily for a future and nostalgically at the past...
Among actors of Italian and Spanish background, for example, Dino Crecetti opted to be Dean Martin, Margarita Cansino became Rita Hayworth, Anna Maria Italiano is now Anne Bancroft. Anglicizing their names, Anthony Benedetto became Tony Bennett and Giovanni de Simone became Johnny Desmond. Among Jews, Izzy Itskowitz probably needed to sandpaper that a bit; yet he stayed with a Jewish name: Eddie Cantor. But most-from Jerry Levitch (Jerry Lewis) to Nathan Birnbaum (George Burns), Emanuel Goldenberg (Edward G. Robinson), Pauline Levy (Paulette Goddard), Rosetta Jacobs (Piper Laurie), and Melvin Hesselberg (Melvyn Douglas)-have preferred the Anglo-Saxon angle...
