Gossip Friday: New Gal on His Arm

From January 1955 (Louella Parsons):

When Clark Gable allows his picture to be taken again and again with the same girl at social events, it begins to look serious.

Well, the King has been photographed many times lately with Kay Williams Spreckels, beautiful blonde ex-wife of sugar millionaire Adolph Spreckels. 

Kay was terribly in love with Clark before she married Spreckels and apparently he was in love with her. They went together for a long time but then, without a word, Gable walked out of her life.

I’d be the last to prophesy that he will marry Kay now. But there’s no telling with Clark, though I do know he says he’ll never wed again. But he’s said that before.

Kay had an ardent suitor in Hal Hayes, wealthy contractor. When Clark telephoned her for a date, she dropped Hayes and has been seen at all the premieres with the King.
