Gossip Friday: Not Very Chummy
From May 1936:
Ever since the other day, they’re thinking of giving still photographers little lessons in tact at MGM.
Loretta Young and Spencer Tracy were sitting at the privileged “directors’ table” at the MGM restaurant. Far up at the other end of the table sat Clark Gable–alone, and not at all socialable.
In came a photographer. He wanted a picture. He asked Clark to move up with Loretta and Spencer, so they could all look very chummy. And all he got was black looks. But he should have known better.

Hmmm….wonder why that would be? I think we all know…

Oh Lord, Loretta had just given birth to Judy a few months before this? How awkward that would have been. I’m assuming everyone at MGM knew about this but just wouldn’t speak about it. I give credit to Loretta even though she’s nowhere near my favourite for having the courage to continue her work life knowing there would forever be whispers about her and Clark.
