"She's had more exposure in one week than Tom Jones has had in his whole career," bubbles Nina's manager, John Marshall. "Why, she got 5,000 letters and telegrams last...
...Sherwoods have not one but two TV sets, and soon the face of Nina van Pallandt, Irving's elegant traveling companion in Mexico, blossoms on both screens. Edith leans forward to watch with aggressive intentness. "She's going to be on David Frost and David Susskind," someone says. Marmon: "Will she sing or talk?" Sher wood: "She'll sing. She can't talk.
