Candice Bergen, Loretta Young and Merle Oberon go to healer Katherine Kuhlman for God knows what. .. Dino Martin Jr. and Olivia Hussey welcomed a boy, Alexander into the world. If you didn’t know already, they’re married... By now the world knows Liza Minelli and Desi Amez Jr. have broken their engagement but I can’t believe Peter Sellers, supposedly her new beau, is serious over anything but getting in the limelight.. .
