When Debby met Debbie it was neither a mixup in names nor a Hollywood scenario writer’s dream. It was simple Debby Dains, 1954 March of Dimes Poster Boy, meeting Debbie Reynolds, RKA-Radio’s star of “Susan Slept Here” on the lad’s recent visit to movieland. A visit to Miss Reynolds’ dressing room, the dream of many a starry-eyed fan, didn’t upset the four-year-old trouper from Gooding, Idaho. After all, he too was a celebrity making personal appearances as part of his contribution to the anti-polio fund raising campaign during January.
