In London, where she is working on the film version of The Sleeping Prince with Actor-Director Laurence Olivier, blonde, swivel-hipped Marilyn Monroe dashed out for a bit of shopping in Regent Street and virtually incited to riot again. Passers-by recognized her as she stepped out of her car, and traffic was jammed to a dead stop until a platoon of bobbies appeared to disperse the crowds. Earlier, Marilyn's Pulitzer-Prizewinning husband, Playwright Arthur Miller (whom Marilyn now calls "popsie-wopsie," while he calls her "poopsie-woopsie"), said that he would interrupt his honeymoon with Marilyn and fly home early this week "to see my children." Miller added, understandably, that he would be back.
Still single and unengaged, Britain's Princess Margaret celebrated her 26th birthday with her family at Balmoral Castle in Scotland, sat for her portrait in a one-strap evening gown of pink tulle embroidered with flowers and sequins.
In Hollywood, Singer Dinah Shore, wife of Actor George Montgomery, suffered a miscarriage, but was reported "doing well." In Newport, R.I., the wife of Senator John F. Kennedy of Massachusetts lost the baby she was expecting in October. Her condition: "good."
Newly arrived in Hollywood, Britain's blonde, shapely (37-23-35) Diana Dors, threw a wingding for 250 film celebrities at her rented $175,000 estate, made a big splash when she landed, fully clothed in her swimming pool with her husband, agent and designer tumbling in after her. Diana's husband climbed onto dry land first, a baleful look in his eye as he fixed United Press Photographer Stewart Sawyer, 32, bellowing that the lensman had pushed the quartet in so that a fellow photographer could get the picture. Her skintight toreador pants and diaphanous shirt pasted to her most treasured assets, Diana quickly emerged, and screaming "unprintable words" joined her ex-pugilist husband in pummeling the prostrate photographer. The damage: a sprained back for Diana, a fractured right hand for her husband, a swollen nose, numerous bruises and lacerations for Photog Sawyer. Denying that he had pushed anyone, Sawyer said that he would not press charges, seemed to realize that it is not good for a man to run into a couple of swinging Dors.
