In
a recent interview with us, Ben Murphy stated emphatically that
he wasn't involved with any one particular girl but that he was
like "a kid in a candy store." All we can say is, "What
a way to go!" Ben has been rumored enamored of Claudine
Longet and the inside information is that they are really serious
but that doesn't seem to stop Ben from dating other girls. We
have the pictures to show too.
Ben's girls are legion but he rather enjoys the company of dancer Dolly Eitel who is one of the more serious girls around a town not too noted for seriousness.
Anyway, our camera followed them on one of those dates that makes living in a big city so much fun. Taking a long walk may not seem like much fun to some people but when there's a lot to look at and when one is interested in the infinite variety of ethnic neighborhoods such as the Mexican and Chinese which are very strong in Los Angeles, well it's almost like taking a trip to a foreign country... and a lot less expensive too.
Ben has travelled [sic] quite a bit around the country but he hasn't done much travelling [sic] outside. Therefore he is quite curious about the world around him. Los Angeles is good in that respect.
One of these days, he will settle down.
He will do it gladly because he is a rather serious young man.
Until then, he will continue to explore the candy store. Like
any kid he may get a stomach ache or two but it's all part of
the process of growing up. He doesn't want you to worry too much
about him, so don't. If he continues to date nice girls like Dolly,
he should have no trouble when he finds the right girl. Only his
female fans will be understandably disappointed whenever he does.

he has been seeing on and off for well over a year now.

where you really get to know the girls. Anyway that's what Ben
says.

romantic than an American one. Ben believes that a good booth
holds two people comfortably.

it and that is something Ben likes to do. Dolly thinks it's great
too! (The page seam is cutting off the photo. They are looking
at a menu outside a restaurant.)

up. They bought tickets for a concert but explored the place first.

of the role that brought him to fame, "Kid" Curry on
Alias Smith and Jones.

he's on his way to stardom.
