Now showing: “None Shall Escape.”
March 1, 1944
Note: I’ve been having so much fun running Walter Winchell that I thought I would add Louella Parsons to the mix.
The biggest movie news I’ve heard in weeks comes direct from the horse’s mouth in New York, so to speak. Billy Rose has sold Twentieth Century-Fox the rights to “Carmen Jones” and the price is sensational.
Lena Horne, I am told, will have the role of Carmen in the movie. She is far prettier than Muriel Smith, whom I saw in the New York stage show, but of course she hasn’t the operatic voice of the Smith girl.
Snapshots of Hollywood Collected at Random: Helen Mueller, the model who nearly married Mickey Rooney, becomes the bride of Bill Geyer, former star football player and now in the Navy March 15. Benita and Ronnie Colman were at Joan Bennett’s party and Benita said the baby is expected in July.

Sad to read about Charles Boyer and his wife bragging about thier baby son. That son would die from a drug overdose at age 22. Charles Boyer committed suicide shortly after his wife’s death. The three of them are buried together.

You’re mostly right. Michael Boyer shot himself in 1965, apparently because he thought his fiancee had broken up with him.

Alternate title: “I Was Drafted Into The Joy Division!” Now I want to see that movie.
