...days when he practiced law at La Habra. One of the most exuberant guests was John Wayne. Greeting the Missus with a bow and a kiss on the hand, the Duke said, "It's great to see Pat up and around and looking happy." As for her husband, the Duke enthused: "I was with the ex-President when he was a winner and a loser and a winner again...
...self-exposure, and since stars of a certain age are thought to combine volatility and vulnerability in a colorful way, the opportunities for bravura effects are endless. The opportunities for tedious egocentricity are there too-so much so in the case of Melina Mercouri, in this vehicle that her husband, Jules Dassin, has created for her, that the movie has the suffocating air of a vanity production...

But Mary has had three miscarriages, possibly because of blood disorders. So when she became pregnant again, she decided that "we're not just going to sit back and lose another baby." Now, she has given birth to a 7-lb. girl at the University Hospitals of Cleveland. While the baby may still need an exchange transfusion, mother and daughter should be discharged shortly...
