Gossip Friday: Snubbed by Kay

Here’s a rare one, gossip about the fifth Mrs. Gable, Kay Williams, from the mouth of Louella Parsons, no less. Any guess which actress she’s talking about?

From December 1955:

Mrs. Clark Gable has become so much the wife of the King that she is seeing few of the old friends who were so good to her in the dark days when life was pretty desperate for her. 

It’s understandable that a married woman must accept her husband’s pals and make his pals hers, but there is one case where I think Kay is remiss–that of a certain actress who was very good to her during the days when other of her friends shied away from the then Mrs. Spreckels for fear of the publicity. Of course, I may be wrong and there may be some reason for which I don’t know.

But this whole attitude is so unlike Kay , who up until now has always been fun-loving, gay, generous and kind, that I’m wondering what’s back of it.
