REPORTING WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE MARRIED TO A FAMOUS FACE
Life's better at home for the
star's husband
is one of the hazards of my job that occasionally I cannot avoid being seen in public with a Famous Face. And it has occurred to me on these occasions to be thnikful I'm not married to it.
Just imagine what life would be like if the face you took in wedlock and now take entirely for granted is the sort that stops the traffic and prevents you ever having a quiet evening out. You may be outstandingly good-looking or divinely dressed, you may be loaded with talent....you may paint in oils or crochet like a dream....but
wherever you go the famous face you married claims all the attention.'
I think I would find this galling after the novelty had worn off. It's bad enough even as a brief encounter.
Of all the upsetting lunches I've eaten, across the table from a famous face, one with Rex Har- rison stays in my mind.
