Gossip Friday: Congrats to the Bride

From 1949:

Iris Bynum may have been publicized as the only starlet never to have made a picture, her fame grew from the fact that she had the most glamorous dates in the film colony. [Fans] recall seeing her pictured at premieres and parties with Orson Welles, Van Johnson and her steadiest beau—Clark Gable.

But she bade them all goodbye, just when everyone thought that the Bynum-Gable combination was as serious as the Jimmy Stewart-Gloria McLean deal, to marry an Air Force colonel on comparatively scant notice.

None of Iris’ famous beaux showed up [for the wedding], although Clark Gable sent a beautifully worded wire to congratulate the bride, saying that if he hasn’t been in the East he would have been there.
