...Hiya, Dollface!" Betty's all-out assault on an audience is a trademark that she carries into every appearance, public or private, that might conceivably make the world more Hutton-conscious and thus advance her career. Her clarionlike entrance into a restaurant ("Hiya, dollface! Hey, got my table?") is one of the digestive hazards of eating out in Hollywood. During a wartime bond tour, she stole the headlines in most of 20 cities from a trainload of more prominent stars by rushing to kiss the mayor on arrival; in one city she had to leap onto a police motorcycle...
Lopez decided that his vocalist, whom he had first billed as Betty Jane, deserved a new name. A firm believer in numerology, he let the numbers lead him to "Hutton." "I tried to get a vibration that would make her a lot of money," he says. "It was a five-eight vibration. After that she did fine."

U.S.G.A. and financial pressure had forced him to make the decision before Marlene, his most promising pupil, had another chance at the women's amateur title (she was put out in the semifinals last fall). Marlene had been named Woman Athlete of the Year for 1949 in an Associated Press poll, and the girls had dominated the winter circuit, but the next meal...
...announcement by the Bauers was greeted with a breeze of offers for television, radio and movie appearances, a batch of bids by manufacturers of golf equipment and sportswear. Said canny, patient father Bauer, looking hopefully toward Easy Street: "I guess we timed it right . . . I figure the girls will make $50,000 this year...
