Good morning!
Suzanne Pleshette and Tom Poston have been seeing each other for a while now.
Before they take their relationship to the next level,
Suzanne expressed her desire for a significant engagement ring.

On Tuesday, during an outing at the Bel Air Country Club,
Tom surprised her with a striking 57-carat diamond,
set in platinum, all wrapped up in a simple paper bag!
Suzanne was taken aback, exclaiming, "I almost had a heart attack!"
While they aren't officially engaged yet,
she humorously noted, "Someone finally topped me."

The couple has a history, having dated previously
before each married other partners.

In other news, Martha Coolidge is basking in the glow of her HBO film,
“Introducing Dorothy Dandridge,” which has garnered 11 Emmy nominations.
She candidly shared with me, "The feature scripts I've received
pale in comparison to the television stories I've created."

Coolidge is currently working on a Hallmark Hall of Fame film,
“Flamingo Rising,” celebrating the network's 50th anniversary,
set to air on CBS. The film is being shot in St. Augustine, Florida,
starring William Hurt, Brian Benben, and Elizabeth McGovern,
featuring the world's largest drive-in movie screen.

Production designer Jim Spencer, who was previously nominated for his work
on “Dandridge,” is constructing an impressive 80-foot screen,
designed to endure the challenges of approaching hurricanes.
Coolidge describes the film, based on Larry Baker's novel,
as something she hopes will resonate with the current generation,
much like “Dr. Strangelove” did for her.

With a budget under $10 million,
the visual effects promise to elevate the telefilm's presentation.
Conveniently located next to Marineland,
Coolidge enjoyed a day off swimming with dolphins with her son, Preston,
sharing, “This is not a hardship location.”

Despite her concerns about the scarcity of good feature scripts,
Coolidge has found a promising project:
Nick Kazan's “Blowing Up,” a comedic take on the first nuclear reactor accident,
which she plans to produce alongside Kathy Kennedy and Frank Marshall.Doug Cramer has caught the theater bug and made some significant life changes.
After selling his California ranch and Bel-Air residence, he has relocated to New York and Connecticut.
Cramer is currently focused on developing five theatrical productions, opting out of network television opportunities.

His first project, “The Tale of the Allergist’s Wife,” features new scenes by Charles Busch, following a successful run at the Manhattan Theatre Club.
This show is set to premiere at the Barrymore Theatre on November 2, with a cast that includes Linda Lavin, Michele Lee, and Tony Roberts.
Cramer is producing this alongside Barry Grove and Lynne Meadow from MTC, as well as Daryl Roth, Carole Shorenstein Hays, and Stuart Thompson.

Looking ahead, he aims to produce “The Sex King,” a comedy-drama by Bill C. Davis, which revolves around a man operating a call-girl service.
Collaborating once more with Meadow, Cramer has arranged for Judd Hirsch to participate in a reading scheduled for September.

Additionally, Cramer is reuniting with Roth for “Take Flight,” a new musical crafted by David Shire and Richard Maltby.

On another note, I recently ran into Tony Award winner Joel Grey, famed for his role in “Cabaret,” as he was walking along Fifth Avenue.
He is preparing for a trip abroad, which includes a stop in London to discuss the “Harry Potter” project.
Grey has a knack for accents, demonstrated last year when he portrayed the Ghost of Christmas Past in “A Christmas Carol.”

His upcoming work also includes voicing a character in the animated film “Ferret Tina,” which he humorously describes as “a ferret’s answer to ‘The Lion King.’”
Moreover, he will appear on the big screen with the releases of “The Fantasticks” and “Dancer in the Dark” on September 22.

After years in television films and miniseries, Jerry London is heading to New York to direct “100 Centre Street.”
This project, produced by Sidney Lumet, stars Alan Arkin and will depict the drama of a New York night court.
London plans to alternate directing duties with Lumet, utilizing a three-camera, high-definition setup for the hour-long series. In a twist reminiscent of Mark Twain's famous quip about exaggerated reports of his demise, Karen Kramer has confirmed that her husband, Stanley Kramer, is alive and thriving.

They are set to commemorate their 34th wedding anniversary on September 1, followed closely by Stanley's 87th birthday on September 29.

On another note, fans of classic cinema can look forward to the release of Alfred Hitchcock's 1959 masterpiece, "North by Northwest," on Warner Home Video.

Eva Marie Saint is set to host an engaging hour-long documentary included in the DVD, featuring insights from notable figures such as Ernie Lehman, Robert Doyle, Martin Landau, and Pat Hitchcock, Hitchcock's daughter.

Pat shared a candid moment, stating, "My dad certainly had a fondness for blondes, and he had an extraordinary ability to recognize qualities in people that others might overlook."

She highlighted how her father saw the elegance in Eva Marie Saint, despite her previous roles leaning towards the working-class spectrum.

Eva recounted a memorable exchange with Hitchcock during the film's conclusion, where he requested, "Promise me you’ll never take on a sink-to-sink movie." She sheepishly admitted, "I didn’t promise him."

Reflecting on her role, she expressed her bewilderment at being cast as a seductive spy, recalling Cary Grant's advice on her first day: "This is just a spoof, you don’t have to cry!"

Interestingly, the iconic crop-duster scene was primarily filmed on an MGM soundstage. The DVD hits shelves on August 29, with the documentary airing on TCM on September 10, followed by the film itself.

Shifting gears to the fashion world, Stuart Weitzman is set to unveil a new store on Rodeo Drive this December.

Among the stars who will grace the Emmys wearing Weitzman shoes are expectant mothers Kelly Williams from "The Practice," Ming Na from "ER," and Jane Leeves from "Frasier." Weitzman has pledged to ensure their footwear is particularly comfortable for the event.

Lastly, a highlight of the upcoming Carousel of Hope gala, hosted by Barbara Davis on October 28 at the Beverly Hilton, will be a silent auction featuring a luxurious Valentino ensemble.

This exquisite outfit, valued at $25,000, comes with a five-night stay at the Ritz in Paris and tickets to the upcoming couture show next summer, all with a total value of $55,000. "Mon dieu, Barbara!" what an enticing package!
