...Died.

...Beautiful People made the opening-night party for a Broadway gobbler called The 90 Day Mistress, but there was a pretty good assortment of Not-Too-Homelies: Tony Perkins, Joan Fontaine, Charlotte Ford Niarchos, Tallulah Bankhead, Gore Vidal and Joan Bennett, all of them crushed into a Manhattan nightclub no larger than an orgone box.
