Gossip Friday: Gable and Garland?
From January 1942:
Resolutions the stars should make:
Clark Gable should resolve to throw his influence to get Judy Garland as co-star. Now that she’s grown up and married, she’s earned that right and I have a feeling her fans would applaud it. Sure, I know she’s wonderful in musicals. She and Mickey Rooney in “Babes on Broadway” ooze so much talent they’re frightening. But remember, Clark once did a song and dance–maybe he could learn to do another one, who knows? Failing that, Judy can go dramatic with him.

That would have been Pure Movie Magic had Clark Gable and Judy Garland starred together either in a Musical or a Straight Dramatic Movie.

Oh man. I’m going to assume this was just a few days before Carole’s death. Little did he know his whole world was about to be irrevocably shattered 🙁
