WILL glamourous Gene Tierney be the next American bride of Moslem Prince Aly Khan?
Is the exotically beautiful screen star, famed as Hollywood's best-dressed woman, destined to move upward-in rank-from a countess to a princess?
According to European indications, it is as certain as the blue of the Mediterranean or the black and red of the roulette wheels at Monte Carlo. Aly and Gene have been inseparable for months. As far back as last January Paris believed their marriage was imminent. When last Spring she began to sport a diamond ring which Aly put on her finger, bets were even laid concerning the date of the altar march. Any day now is the word along the boulevards and on the Riviera. However, announcement of marriage plans has been put off "for a while," it was said, because the Aga Khan, Aly's fabulously wealthy father, does not want his son to marry too soon after his much-publicized marital break-up with Rita Hayworth.
The French, the English, the Swiss; yes, and the Americans, too- those in Hollywood especially-are confident Gene could and would make a brilliant go of a marriage with Aly.
Why? Because Gene Tierney has always wanted to be a princess. What is more, Aly is convinced she not only is to the manor-born, but to the manner-bred. She has the cultural, the chic and swanky and social background for the role.
Her full name for more than ten years was Countess Gene Eliza Taylor Tierney Loiewski-Cassini. She was formerly the wife of Count Oleg Loiewski-Cassini, noted Hollywood and New York dress designer and suave scion of the Italian-Russian nobility.
