Here's wishing you the very hest of everything Ron Wingfield General Contractor* It was a happy year for some, a sad year for many. Looking over the Show Business year, it seemed it was sad news that reached our ears more of- ten than good. It began in January with the news from Tex- as that charming songstress, Janette MacDonald had died;in the same month, star of the television series "Twelve O' - Clock High", John Larkin, al- so passed away in Hollywood. No death has more affected the entire world than that of singer Nat 'King' Cole who succumb- ed to cancer in February of last year. That same month Stan Laurel of the famous Laurel and Hardy comedy team and Henry Kulky, the lovable Max of the "Hennessy" series, also passed away. Fire claimed the life of actress Linda Darnell in the month of April and June was a sad month in the entertainment world, with the deaths of musi- cians George Melachrino, Claude Thornhill and Red Nic- hols, producer David 0, Selz - nick, and actor Steve Coch- rane. Perry Mason lost his Lieuten- ant Tragg, Ray Collins, who suffered a heart attack. which resulted in death in July. In New York, the same month, actress Constance Bennett died; and in Hollywood actox Everett Sloane took his own life, de- pressed and worried about the prospects of becoming blind. The latter part of the year also saw some sad moments with the demises of actress -singer Doro- thy Dandridge, actor Zachary Scott, young John Rogers, son of Roy and Dale, columnist Dorothy Kilgallen, former act- ress Clara Bow, the "It" girl, and John Lee Jr. , the actor who made 'Calhoun' come to life on the Amos 'n' Andy Shows. Here in Canada, drummer Johny Niosi and Ross Hamilton, the 'Marjorie' of the Dumbelis, were among those whose loss was mourned by fellow enter- tainers. 0--0--0 Many couples suffered through divorce suits this year. Among those who parted com- pany were Anthony Quinn and Catherine DeMille; Barry Sulli- van and his young wife; Opera singer Lauritz Melchior and his secretary -wife; Judy Garland and Sid Luft; actress Kathy No- lan and husband; western sing- er Ferlin Huskey and wife; Nan- cy Sinatra and Tommy Sands; comedienne Phyllis Diller and her husband whom she brought to life in her hilarious routines; actress Joan Bennett and pro- ducer Walter Wanger, after 25 years of togetherness; Betty Grable and Harry James with much the same record; actress Ursula Andress and actor John Derek; singer Dinah Shore and Maurice Smith; and Canadian singer Gisele MacKenzie and her manager -husband, Robert Shuttleworth. 0--0--0 There were a few happy people in the entertainment world during the past year. Brides and grooms that march- ed down the middle aisle in- cluded former Disney Mouse- keteer Annette Funicello and her agent Jack Gilardi; Beatle Ringo Starr and a Liverpool hairdresser; actress Angie Dick- inson and composer -conductor Burt Bacharach; Lorne Green's leelimersammo 'Tis Show Biz By \'onni Leu daughter Belinda; actress Lana Turner who was making her sixth walk; Sybil Burton, ex- wife of Richard, hoping her second would turn out better, even if it was to a 24 -year-old rock -n -roller; Vince 'Ben Casey Edwards, who made the walk in June, ended up in divorce courts in August; singer Jane Powell; actress Susan Strasberg and actor Chris Jones; singer Leslie Uggarns; actress Tuesday Weld; composer Elmer Bern- stein; singer Judy Garland and actor Mark Herron; teenage actress Patti Duke; John Wayne's son Pat and socialite Peggy Hunt; and actor Henry Fonda who wed a former airline stew- ardess young enough to be his daughter. 0--0--o New little stars to arrive on the scene were daughters, born to Princess Grace and Prince Rainier; Peter Sellers and Britt Eklund; and actor James Mac- Arthur (son of Helen Hayes) and his wife. Sons were born to singer Andy Williams and his wife Claudine; Beatle Ringo and wife Maureen; English act- ress Samantha Eggar and actor Tom Stern; another English son Anthony Newley and wife Joan Collins; lovely witch Elizabeth Montgomery ("Bewitched") and husband Bill Asher; and Jayne Mansfield and hus band Matt Climber. And a new son Jeff was added to the household of Sammy Davis Jr. and Mary Britt, in February (final adop- tion papers came through later in the year). Real-life dramas were brought to the world's attention with the illnesses of two talent- ed actresses. In March, the much -loved Patricia Neal suf- fered a series of strokes which left her partially paralyzed, but she bounced back like the troup- er she is and six months later became the mother of a lovely little girl, Lucy. In September, the star of TV's "Peyton Place", Dorothy Malone, lay close to death for many weeks after lung surgery. Miraculously, she sur- vived and is now back to work. 0--0--0 Academy Awards were won in 1965 by Julie Andrews for "Mary Poppins", Rex Harrison for "My Fair Lady", and that picture. Big names in the TV Emmy race were Barbra Strei- sand, Dick Van Dyke, Leonard Bernstein, and the CBC French network's version of "Barber of Seville". So that was 1965. We hope '66 will be a happier one; and personally wish all our readers the best of health, happiness, and prosperity.
