A Hat And A Mirror
Jennifer Jones, who stars opposite Gregory Peck and Joseph Cotton in David O. Selznick's Technicolour masterpiece, "Duel in the Sun," attended a dinner party in a Hollywood restaurant famous for its mirrored walls. At the next table were two women—one an up-and-coming starlet and the other a oncefamous screen star of the silent days. The older woman obviously had had several cocktails before dinner and was pointing across the room excitedly. "Look at that hat!" she said, "just exactly like mine, and my milliner guaranteed me that my hat was the only one like it in town!" The young starlet looked in the direction in which the elderly beauty was pointing. She was met by a reflection of their table in one of the famous mirrors, so she decided to humour the old lady. "Oh; what's the difference," she said to the former star. "You can always return the hat to the shop and get your money back." "It isn't that!" yelled the first woman, "just look at that frump who's wearing, it!"
