Another recent acquisition to the Daveland collection is this December 1976 shot taken at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel during the Golden Apple Awards. From left to right: Shelley Winters, Shirley, John Wayne, Susan Seaforth Hayes, and her husband, Bill. Susan and Bill Hayes were the mega-stars of “Days of Our Lives” in the 1970s; they were the dream team for housewives everywhere who tuned in daily to see their fictional exploits, which melded into real-life since they eventually got married in 1974. I guess those on-screen sparks weren’t so fictional! The two even made the cover of Time magazine in 1976.
As mentioned in a previous post, Shirley Temple and Bill Hayes once worked together filming a TV pilot that never got picked up. Here they are in “Go Fight City Hall!”, January 1965. Bill is currently 96 years young, and Susan is 78. The two still have recurring roles on “Days.”
My previously posted alternate image from the Golden Apple Awards, with George Burns and John Wayne getting a good laugh at poor Shelley who was missing a tooth at the time. She must have bitten into a really hard apple.
It may have been the Golden Apple Awards, but here Shirley holds a ruby red one:
See more Shirley Temple photos at my main website.
Both of those pics with John Wayne look like a collection of wax figures; not just John but everyone including Shelly with her one tooth missing. The wax museum display should read "A Day in the Life: 1976" or similar.
