Gossip Friday: Things That May Never Happen?
From October 1932:
Things that may never happen:
That threatened Constance Bennett retirement.
That Clark Gable divorce.
A movie comeback for Alice White.
A wolf at Charlie Chaplin’s door.

Well.
Constance Bennett didn’t retire from the screen until 1966.
Clark and second wife Ria divorced in 1939.
Alice White worked pretty steadily through the 1930’s, puttered out in the 40’s.
And I don’t know what they mean by the Charlie Chaplin comment. Might be about the fact he was reluctant to do talkies….which we all know he eventually did.

Constance Bennett did not retire in 1966, that was the year of her final film, Madame X. She died in1965 just prior to its release. Her career in the entertainment industry was over in the early fifties.
