...hour-long production of The Louella Parsons Story scored a handsome 27.0 Trendex-the highest rating ever won by the show. What viewers saw was a sudsy narrative with all the impact of a souffle hitting a concrete wall. In a slick amalgam of film and live TV, Teresa Wright played Gossipist Louella to near-perfection, catching the whining needle of the Parsonian voice and delivering ex cathedra pronouncements on Louella's likes (dancing, pretty clothes, dogs, young people, food and Hollywood) and dislikes (being called "Lolly," being lied to about stories, being doublecrossed by news sources).

From the '205 through the '405, Macdonald-Wright had deserted his theory for experimental work ranging from sensuous figure studies to Braque-like still lifes.
