What's happened to the fabulously wealthy ex-king
since he sailed into exile seven years ago today!
AT the zenith of his power as abso
lute ruler of 23 million people, King
Farouk of Egypt once quipped: "In a
few years there will be only live kings
in the world the King of England and.
the four kings in a deck of cards."
On July 26, 1952 seven years ago to
day Farouk, whose reign had become
a "symbol of graft, corruption, and rust"
in the words of General Mohammed
Naguib, the man who overthrew him,
abdicated and sailed into exile. His
jocular play on words had been pro
phetic of his own downfall.
Today one of the landmarks on
Rome's historic Via Veneto, a street
famed for romantic trysts over neglected
cups of coffee, is Mr. Farouk, citizen
of Monaco.
The 275-pound ex-sovereign sits for
hours on end outside the swank Cafe
di Paris sipping brandy and iced coffee
while he ogles the beautiful young girls
who stroll past. Most of them invite ro
mance, and sometimes Farouk rouses
himself from his myopic fascination
with shapely limbs to engage one of
them in conversation. But he doesn't
try too hard; he has become accus
tomed to snickering refusals. He has
sadly learned that a rotund ex-king
isn't a young girl's romantic ideal.
These often rude rebuffs are only one
of many distasteful circumstances citi-.
zen Farouk has had to adjust to in the
past seven years. He can't just take
things any more as he did when he stole
his ex-Queen Narriman (she divorced
him in 1954) while she was in a jewelry
store selecting a ring to plight her troth
to another man. The monarch's interest
in the 17-year old beauty at that time
was enough to prompt her Harvard
educated fiance to withdraw from the
scene as gracefully as possible.
But today- Farouk doesn't demand
love; he pays bored hostesses in Riv
iera night clubs for companionship.
Farouk's myriad troubles were com
pounded in April, 1958, when the Egyp
tian government stripped him and 58
members of his family of their Egyptian
citizenship. He found himself then not
only a king without a throne but liter
ally a man without a country. But on
May 5, 1959, Prince Rainier III, an old
pal and a royal playboy himself before
his marriage to Grace Kelly, came to
his assistance and decreed him a citi
zen of Monaco. Farouk once more
raised a royal standard on the staff of
his yacht, Favourita, in Monte Carlo
Bay; this time, a Monasque emblem.'
When he isn't in Rome pursuing the
phantoms of past revelries or sunning
himself disconsolately on the Riviera's
lush beaches, Farouk maintains his
residence in a hotel practically next ,
by Bob Driscol
door to the Monte Carlo Casino, Monf
aco's gaudy claim to fame. But despiti
the proximity of the most famous gam;
bling spot in the world and his own lovfr
tor games ot cnance, Maimers tavor
deprived him of the opportunity to play
because of a law forbidding Monacal)
citizens to gamble there.
He rises in the morning at 6 a.m. and
contents himself with sitting on the ter
race of the Bar de Monaco with his two
Albanian bodyguards and watching the
pretty Monasque girls bicycling by. i-
No one pays much attention to "the
fat man who's always sitting in the
bistro gawking at young girls," as one
disgusted mother describes Farouk, ex
cept perhaps passing tourists who might
stop to hoot and deride him. 1
Yet not many years ago when Farouk
visited the Isle of Capri on his honey
moon voyage with Narriman, hundreds
of policemen were required to hold
back the admiring crowds while the
royal pair debarked from their yacht.
Their party of 60 retainers included 20
eye-catching blonde and redheaded
ladies in waiting. J
There have been reports, fanned by a
15-minute telephone conversation the
divorced couDle had last vear. that"
tinctive and sophisticated." Apparently Suzy
thought so too because she adopted the new
spelling herself long before she came to Hollywood!
According to producer David O. Selznick, one
rojl good rule is to achieve a combination of an
liOlilCS - unusual first name, particularly a biblical one, with
(Continued J an ordinary last name. That's why he talked Phyllis
Isley into becoming Jennifer Jones. In this par
ticular case, he went one step further by marrying
her and changing her name to Jennifer Selznick
but that's for personal use only!
That Jones is a pretty good name was agreed
upon by many other entertainers who started
out with it and refused to change it Now, in addi
tion to Jennifer, we also have among others
Shirley Jones and Carolyn Jones. To avoid confu
sion with all the other Joneses, an attractive young
model named Carol Jones became Carol Lynley
when she embarked on a stage and movie career.
Once in a while, actors object to any tampering
with their names. When "Kim" was suggested to
Marilyn Novak by the late Harry Cohn, she
sobbed: "It's a boy's name!" It took Mr. Cohn two
hours to change Marilyn's mind.
He was less successful with a young actor named
Jack Lemmon. "What's good enough for my family
is good enough for me," he insisted. A week of
cajoling, of begging, of outright threats to take
him out of his first picture couldn't budge him.
Once in a while, even the families get into the
act When a young actor from New Jersey, Nikolas
Aloysius Adamshock, changed his name to Nick
Adams, half a dozen relatives complained he was
ashamed of his family name. "Not so," Nick as
sured them. "But can you see Nikolas Aloysius
Adamshock on a theater marquee?"
They all could!
On the other hand, dancer Mitzi Gerber had no
objection to changing her name provided she
could keep her initials.
"And what's so important about the M.G.?" a
20th Century-Fox executive demanded.
"I just bought some new luggage with my ini
tials on it," Mitzi replied.
Mitzi Gerber became Mitzi Gaynor, and the lug
gage was saved. -
Doris Kappelhoff became a vocalist with Barney1
Rapp's orchestra when "Day by Day" was a hit
song. Hence Doris Day.
Shirley Schrift thought Shelley sounded prettier
than Shirley and adopted her mother's maiden
