And in turn, I have my July 1956 Movie Life in front of my (Tab Hunter’s nuzzling Natalie Wood on the cover). Best article is “WHAT PHYLLIS FOUND OUT ABOUT ROCK,” subheaded, “Every husband is full of surprises, and Mr. Hudson is no exception!”
Billy Haines’ career was pretty much “dead from natural causes” by the early 1930s anyway. He was gaining weight and losing hair, he’d passed his sell-by date, and his “brash young college fellah” persona was not aging well. I think it was a matter of “you’re not pulling in sufficient bucks for us to cover up for you anymore.”
Now this I did not know.
