2. My son, Bill, at age of five, relaxing against me at our home in Great Neck, Long Island. Even at that age he loved the Navy, or I did, because I selected a Navy suit for him.
3. Ken Murray burping. My beloved mother, Mrs. David Furry, and her daughter Hedda. At a picture premiere. Later at Ciro’s we were joined by Edgar Bergen. I introduced them. She was a bit hard of hearing and said, “Who?” I whispered in her ear, “Charlie McCarthy.” She said, “Is he now?” (Photograph copyright Vitagraph, Inc.)
4. Clark Gable, who won the title of King and deserved it; he was the first I was photographed with when I started my column in 1938. And he was one of my greatest friends until the day of his death. (MGM photo by Ed. Cronenweth)
5. Charles Laughton, Carole Lombard, and I in the good old days when pictures were fun for everyone except the producers. (Photo by Fred Hendrickson, Copyright 1940, RKO Radio Pictures, Inc.)
6. The beautiful Merle Oberon, after telling me she was divorcing Sir Alexander Korda.
