...enthusiasms is Italian food, and her appetite, for such a willowy (5 ft 6 in., 120 Ibs.) creature, is remarkable. One recent evening she ate, in order of their appearance: an antipasto salad, a heavy Mozzarella cheese appetizer, a heaping plate of lasagna, a chocolate eclair, a dish of sherbet, an after-dinner drink of rum, brandy, chocolate and crème de cacao.

Backed by a vibraphone, electric guitar, bass and drums, he played his piano as though he were tapping on tuned icicles...

But a compressor unit failed to do its job and by program time the footing was closer to raspberry sherbet. As a replacement, NBC hustled up some film shorts.
