50 Years Later: A Movie Kiss Finally Happens
1 Apr
Summary
- Pat Boone celebrated Shirley Jones's 92nd birthday with a video message.
- Boone and Jones, co-stars in 'April Love', never kissed in the film.
- They shared their first on-screen kiss 50 years after the movie.
Singer Pat Boone, 91, recently extended birthday wishes to his "April Love" co-star Shirley Jones, who celebrated her 92nd birthday on March 31. Boone shared a video message recalling their long-standing friendship and their 1957 film collaboration.
Boone revealed that he and Jones never kissed during the filming of "April Love." He explained that at the time, he was hesitant to kiss actresses without his wife's explicit permission. This led to him delaying the on-screen kiss as the filming schedule passed.
Fifty years after the movie's release, at a screening for the refurbished film, Boone and Jones finally shared their first kiss. Both of their spouses were present and had granted permission for the moment. Boone humorously admitted he enjoyed the kiss, potentially breaking a promise to his wife.
