Gossip Friday: Iris, Betty, Virginia or Dolly?

Virginia Grey and Clark Gable

From April 1949:

Iris Bynum, the beautiful brunette from Dallas, Texas, was sure she had Clark Gable hooked for all of three weeks, last winter. But when Arizona socialite Mrs. Betty Chisholm came to town, Clark parked his fancy British car on her doorstep at the Beverly Hills Hotel. When Betty returned home, Clark had another date with iris at Ocean House, where she toils as hostess. But when Keenan Wynn asked Iris for a dance, Clark walked out in a huff and followed Mrs. Chisholm to Arizona. (I hope you are still following me!)

Clark wants to marry–that I am told by the beautiful blonde he usually returns to, Virginia Grey–between his hectic romances. “But I think he will marry someone older, like Mrs. Dolly O’Brien,” says Virginia. Incidentally, when Clark wanted to resume with Virginia after stepping out with Anita Colby and Mrs. Slim Hawks, the lady surprised him and said No! She was busy. She was also tired of functioning as a stopgap.

    Poor Virginia Grey. She never really had a chance. Too bad she didn’t realize it earlier in life. She could have maybe found someone else to love.
