Butterfield 8

Lots Of Men Knew Her Number.No One Knew Her Heart.

Gloria Wondrous awakens in a luxurious bedroom that's not hers.She swallows a jolt of distilled courage, tosses aside $250 left by an admirer, leaves a scornful reply in lipstick on the mirror, dials her service for messages and slips into a mink coat she finds in the closet.The day and the movie are off to a roaring start.

Moviegoers and Hollywood left a message of "Hurrah!" for Elizabeth Taylor and Butterfield 8.Audiences made the film, co-starring Laurence Harvey and Eddie Fisher as a married lover and platonic friend who matter to Gloria, a box-office hit.And Taylor won her first Best Actress Academy Award as the call girl whose life comes with a complete set of emotional baggage.For a glossy, good time, don't call.Watch.
