In summer’s honeymoon

Bill Diehl, formerly on ABC Radio, sent me “See,” a 1953 magazine he discovered. Besides the cover, it’s two pages about me. I’ll reprint one paragraph. Goes good with warm potato salad.

My husband Joey was big in the American Guild of Variety Artists, a similar organization here to Ronald Reagan’s Screen Actors Guild out West.

Our honeymoon was three months. Joey: “My agent came to see us off. He wants 10% of our wedding gifts.”

In London, he said: “All countries should drive on the left. You could knock off more communists that way.” In Paris: I shopped at Pierre Balmain and was halfway to Italy while he was still at Balmain bargaining. Rome: Feeling safe among the ruins he was happy there. Israel? A sheikh with 40 wives was shopping for another. When the sheikh said price was no object, I’m sure I saw Joey waver.

OK. So, it’s now summer. When all good wives go to the country and all good husbands go to their girlfriends.
