At week's end a Hollywood friend sent a cautious cablegram to Segovia saying she had heard that Rosita had been in "a serious accident." Back came a cablegram signed "Rosita" saying, "I am well. Fondest greetings." It seemed that Senorita Diaz had scooped the finest publicity of her career, that Generalissimo Franco had no designs on her. On other film...
