Has she broken Adolph Zukor’s record of oldest Paramount person?

And only if underlings includes his kids.

Of course, the behind the scenes revelations I want to see is “Going My Way: the Real Story.” Just how true are the rumors about Rise Stevens and Barry Fitzgerald? Why would be rehearsing “communion” at 3 a.m., especially when neither was Catholic?

By the way, Ms. Stevens is still available to appear in a sequel or to sue me for libel.

p.s. I could have said Bing Crosby beat underlings with golf clubs but that probably is true.

(The title sounds like the title of a master’s thesis). Truffaut has covered this all pretty well in his book.

What would be *much* more interesting would be a film about Grace Kelly and Hitchcock making To Catch A Thief, for instance, or better yet, Kelly making High Society (only Charles Walters directing, but think of Kelly and the cast– to quote Hitch: “That Grice! She —-ed everybody!”)
