Gossip Friday: Not a New Big Romance
From February 1954:
The most absurd publicity stunt of the month: the wire service which released a photograph of Marilyn Monroe dancing with Clark Gable and captioned it: THE NEW, BIG ROMANCE OF HOLLYWOOD. Clark was seated at her table at a party and invited Marilyn to twirl around the floor with him, the one and only meeting they ever had.

It’s been written that Marilyn Monroe reminded Clark of Jean Harlow. I can’t imagine Clark ever being romantically interested in either one of them. Jean was more of a pal than anything. Clark liked strong women and Marilyn didn’t interest him. Marilyn’s “in your face” sexuality probably didn’t appeal to him either.
