From Hollywood, garrulous Cinemactress Zsa Zsa Gabor issued one of her regular reports on her pillar-to-post romance with closemouthed Dominican Playboy Porfirio Rubirosa, now listlessly awaiting a Dominican divorce from his fourth wife, Five & Dime Heiress Barbara Mutton. "He is screaming about my career," screamed Zsa Zsa. "Rubi has forced me to choose between him and my career. And now it looks like I'll have to choose my acting . . . I'm in too much of a hurry to become a top actress." Every once in a while, also complained Zsa Zsa, Rubirosa's easygoing...

With his eye fixed on Cinemactress Zsa Zsa Gabon, whom he has gallantly promised to marry, Dominican Playboy Porfirio Rubirosa dispatched two lawyers to the Mexican divorce mill at Cuernavaca. Their legal mission: to find out if Rubirosa's estranged fourth wife, Five-and-Dime Heiress Barbara Mutton, was entitled, during a recent fling in Cuernavaca, to call herself Princess Troubetzkoy.

...Ogden Nash at his snippiest or T. S. Eliot at his youngest. In one respect, however, Lardner was clearly right. When Porter tries to be sentimental about love (which is perhaps half the time), his music may be convincing but his words sound as invincibly phony as Porfirio Rubirosa reading Emily Dickinson to a debutante...

Devil-may-care Porfirio Rubirosa and his current great & good friend, Cinemactress Zsa Zsa Gabor, showed up in Hollywood to start a horse opera called The Western Affair, an epic calculated to display polo-playing Rubirosa's short-in-the-saddle talents. But when Rubi, relishing his prospective role as a two-gun saloonkeeper, sashayed up to the immigration office to apply for a work permit the federals turned down his request. Their ostensible reason: Rubi, though surely one of the greatest amateur thespians of his age, is not a professional actor. Wailed Zsa Zsa: "It just...

...laden tin magnate, reported to Roman police that he is minus one bride. The-vanished one: Joanne Connelly Sweeny Patino, 23, Manhattan's "most beautiful debutante" of 1948, divorced last November by Britain's former Amateur Golf Champion Robert Sweeny, who named fast-moving Dominican Playboy Porfirio Rubirosa as correspondent. A patient in a Rome clinic, where she was being treated for hypochondria and the sleeping-pill fad, Joanne, lamented young Jaime Patino, "had taken everything-all her clothes, her jewels and my jewels -and gone." In Yugoslavia, on official invitation from Marshal Tito's government, Harold...
