It was great meeting and getting to know some of the artists who were covered in these magazines. As a teenager I ate up the stories in magazines like these. But once I was a star myself, I learned that some writers made up sensational stories without even talking to the artist and some publishers published anyway.
Debbie Reynolds was just in the news because she put some of her Hollywood memorabilia collection up for auction, including some dresses that Marilyn Monroe wore in her films that earned Debbie millions.
This is the magazine that my father saw on a news stand in Winston Salem and paging through it, he saw the article on me, called "Crashing the Fame Barrier."
I was in great company:
Elvis Presley "Lonely Elvis Presley Needs Your Help."
Ricky Nelson "Are You The Girl Ricky Nelson Wants To Date?."
Debbie Reynolds "Why Debbie Has That Happy Feeling."
Dean Stockwell "Dean Stockwell's Frankest Interview".
Ava Gardner "Ava's Secret Love Affairs."
Natalie Wood & Bob Wagner "A Ring For Natalie."
Frank Sinatra & Lauren Bacall "A Warm Glow." Dad went around the neighborhood showing people my picture and if to that point he had doubts about my actor-singer career, he put them aside and got fully behind me. That meant so much to me.
I miss my Dad.
But Elvis, lonely ??? Not at this point. He had no time to be lonely.
It was girls, girls, girls...
