HARRISON CARROLL
Receives
Award-
by Dorothy
Manners
Speaking of old friends, Harrison Carroll was
very much on hand for the press party hosted by
John Wayne at the Marquis Restaurant. Occasion of
the get-together was the presentation of the
Harrison Carroll Cinema Press Prize -- which didn't
seem as important as all the old friends milling
around and telling one another how great everybody
looks.
Julian Myers, who started at 20th Century Fox in
1948, recalls Archerd's pre-Variety stint as "leg
man" for Los Angeles Herald-Express columnist
Harrison Carroll.

/ An
Ex-columnist Shows His
Class;
IRONY . . . for more than
forty years, Harrison Carroll and
his column in the Herald-Express
-- now the Herald-Examiner -- was
a fixture in our town. Press
agents, stars, men-about-town,
starlets and hangers on couldn't
do enough for Harrison He was
wined, dined and catered to. It
was all part of the job for an
entertainment columnist in Los
Angeles in the halycon days of
the business, and then the
transitional movie-to-television
era. Harrison took it in his
stride, never abused it and,
naturally, enjoyed it. He always
paid his dues in
return.
Unless they deserved it,
Harrison never wrote a harsh word
about anyone in a
career-destroying style. He was
always available to listen to
anyone who needed their name in
print in order to help them and
move them one run closer to the
top of the ladder. Unlike many if
his ilk. Harrison always checked
out a controversial story and
listened to both sides before he
put it in print. He never took
anyone's word for it. There were
(and still are) many people in
this town who try to "plant"
phony stories to further their
own career or hurt someone
else's. It's par for the course
in this business. Someone is
always standing behind you with a
hatchet up their
sleeves.
Since he retired from the
Herald -- and not by his own
choosing -- Harrison has become
almost a forgotten man in this
town. A telephone which used to
ring every tow or three minutes,
now rings every two or three
days. He is no longer wined and
dined except, occasionally, by a
press agent who never forgets old
friends. Unfortunately, far too
many of them have forgotten
Harrison
Carroll.
But, in his own way,
Harrison has not forgotten them
entirely, rather, his former
colleagues in the industry. Las
Thursday at the Martoni-Marquis,
Harrison Carroll announced that
he was endowing a permanent
Cinema Reporting Prize Foundation
for entertainment columnists
throughout the country. To fund
the Endowment, Harrison has
pledged as collateral his memoirs
(which will not be published
until after his death -- so you
can breathe easier) his fantastic
photograph collection, and his
other memorabilia collected over
forty
years.
Three prizes of $5,000,
$3,000 and $2,000 will be awarded
starting next February - and
hopefully on a national telecast
-- to the best entertainment
columnist as voted by stars and
executives in the entertainment
business.
Harrison
Carroll on April 1,
1969
"TO
ALL YOU READERS, THIS IS GOODBYE. I AM
RETIRING. THIS IS MY LAST COLUMN."
And now to the news . . .
Harrison Carroll
Award
Entertainment
columnists will henceforth be honored by
the newly organized Harrison Carroll
Cinema Reporting Prize, it was announced
at a star-studded banquet held at the
Marquis Restaurant recently. The prizes,
to be awarded early next year, will be in
honor of Harrison Carroll who devoted more
than 40 years to show-business reporting
until his retirement in 1969. "I like
Hollywood people," he once said. "I give
them every break I
can."
Hosts of the Prize
Foundation were well represented at the
banquet, including actors John Wayne,
chairman, and Brayden Linden, president;
movie director Gerd Oswald, vice
president; singer-actor Troy Cory,
coordinator, and many film executives such
as producer Terry Moore, ("Bunny O'Hare"),
Josie Cory, Troy Cory's daughter Priscilla
Cory, Vikki Dugan, just to mention a few.
Mr. Carroll, star for the night was
accompanied by his lovely
wife.
Other well-known
celebrities on the Board of Governors, are
Stephen Crane, Glenn Ford, Anthony Quinn
and Zsa Zsa Gabor, to name a
few.

Julian Myers, who started at 20th
Century Fox in 1948, recalls Archerd's
pre-Variety stint as "leg man" for Los
Angeles Herald-Express columnist Harrison
Carroll. "Army was the consummate
interviewer," Myers says, "a handsome
young man, very accessible.
"Army came out to Fox every Friday.
I was assigned to take him to all the
shooting stages. The actors looked forward
to Army's visits because they would read
in Carroll's column something interesting
and honest about them."
Aug. 31, 2005 / Veteran "Tonight
Show" publicist Charlie Barrett remembers
when press-shy Johnny Carson was about to
celebrate his 25th anniversary on NBC in
1987. Carson left a message: "I'm not
doing any interviews, because if I do one,
I'll have to do them all. But if Army
calls, I'll speak to him."
That sums up Army Archerd's clout
in the biz rather nicely. Longtime
publicists -- most of whom were once known
as "press agents" -- are unanimous in
their praise for the Daily Variety
columnist.
