About the Cover: "Congratulations Palm Springs Life with all my heart" extends cover girl Eva Gabor. I'm holding your first issue - a few little pages - and look what you've become!" Why she loves Palm Springs: "It's Shangri-la. When you make that turn around the mountain it's another world, magicland." Her remembrance of things past: "My first date in Palm Springs. It was with Cary Grant, when he walked me back to my tiny little place at the Racquet Club, like a true gentleman he took my key and unlatched the door. Then by mistake he put the key in his pocket and left. I barricaded the door with furniture; it never occurred to me that he might return. It's just like a teenager from Europe to be that dumb." Hair: Camyl Belanger.Make-up: P.K. Burke. Automobile courtesy of Ron W. Spindler. Photography by Charles Bush, 1993.
