...Gabor, doing a TV guest shot with Johnny Carson, was zeroing in on her targets for Tonight: Hollywood Chronicler Sheilah Graham and Hearst Society Scribe Suzy, who often give Zsa Zsa the benefit of a clout. Sheilah pretended she hadn't heard. But not Suzy. "Hungarian blabbermouth," "Fatty," "Miss Tank Town," she wrote. "Zsa Zsa has an age complex, and in her case she has a right to one. I'll spot her ten years. My nose is the one I was born with, and I've never had my face lifted...
...Since 1950, annual sales of his books have climbed 400%; his novels have been converted to movies as fast as Hollywood could find stars to play them (most recently, Tender Is the Night); his life has been fictionalized (by Budd Schulberg in The Disenchanted); his last mistress (Hollywood Columnist Sheilah Graham) has issued her memoirs; his notebooks and diaries have been edited by Edmund Wilson (The Crack-Up); and he has become a popular target for Ph.D. theses and those solemn essays in amateur psychoanalysis that often pass for criticism...
Beloved Infidel (20th Century-Fox) takes its title and its central situation from Gerold Frank's bestselling biography (TIME, Nov. 24, 1958) of Hollywood Gossipist Sheilah Graham, who was F.

("How did a girl as pretty as you get to be the biggest witch in Hollywood?" a famous actress shrieks at Sheilah. "Only the second biggest," Sheilah purrs back, looking as if she has just said something brilliant.) And scarcely a scene goes right for Director Henry (The Bravados) King. The principals stumble around in patent and sometimes comical confusion. Deborah Kerr is a fine, sensitive actress, but when she tries...
...Seawolf), longtime freelancer and magazine editor (Coronet), he now makes literary collaboration with show-business characters his well-paying specialty. After nearly 5,000 hours of listening, he in effect wrote Lillian Roth's I'll Cry Tomorrow, Diana Barrymore's Too Much, Too Soon and Sheilah Graham's Beloved Infidel. All three were bestsellers and earned more than $250,000 for 51-year-old Co-Author Frank (married, two children). Whatever he gets from working up the proper empathy with Zsa Zsa, he will deserve every cent...
