Jimmy Darren and Evy Norlund:
A Hollywood
Marriage
with a Chance?
They've succeeded in everything else
in their young lives; filmdom hopes their
luck extends to marriage
By ROBERT EDWARDS
It's no sechet that, for various reasons, many Hollywood
marriages have two strikes against them from the start.
The Debbie Reynolds-Eddie Fisher breakup last year is a
good example. So, understandably, Hollywood insiders
view such ballyhooed unions with cynicism.
Yet in the case of Jimmy Darren, at 23 a veteran of
eight movies, and 21-year-old Evy, Norlund, his actress
bride of six weeks, these same insiders are wagering that
they'll prove a happy exception to the rule.
Jimmy, who won teen-age adulation in "Gidget," and
Evy, a former Miss Denmark, went into their marriage
"with our eyes wide open" and feel that they'll be more
than able to cope with its built-in problems, including
those long, dangerous separations for picture-making.
"If making a picture means a separation for as long
as, let's say, six months," Jimmy promises, "I won't do it."
This isn't the first marriage for Jimmy. The first one
was, he says, "a mistake."
"This marriage is going to stick," he vows. "I'm Catholic,
and we were married in the Church. I was married hastily
by a justice of the peace the first time. Evy's something
special. She's not a Catholic, but she took instructions on
mixed marriages from the priest who married us at St.
Patrick's Cathedral in New York. Sure, we could have
gotten married 'over the desk' by a JP. It would have
been much easier. But, aside from my religious feelings,
that's not the way you want to do things with a wonderful
girl like Evy. I wanted her to be a bride with all the
trimmings that go with it."
The first meeting of Jimmy and Evy two years ago in
the office of an executive for Columbia Pictures was
hardly auspicious. "Jimmy was pretty well established,"
Evy recalls, "and they wanted him to pose with me for
some publicity pictures. He was in a rather bad mood
and wouldn't agree then, although he did later.
"I guess we both forgot about each other until we met
at a studio drama class. I had to talk about my life in
general that day, and I was nervous in front of all those
