Gossip Friday: Inseparable

From July 1936:

Now, what’s all this between Carole Lombard and Clark Gable, anyway? It’s getting so you can’t hear or read about one without hearing about the other at the same time, too. They guffaw loudly at romance-whisperers, and they deny there’s anything to it–and yet they’re about as inseparable as a couple of newlyweds! (And, incidentally, wouldn’t they make a swell pair of brand-new-mr-and-mrs?) Latest double appearance was at the circus, when it played Hollywood–and Clark and Carole were as much eyed, if not more, than the rest of the show, the night they hand-in-handed it in the big top! Marry?–heck, I wouldn’t bet a tin dime on it, either way! They’ve both been through the mill. And anyway, it’ll be quite a while before the Gable decree is final.

Talking about Clark’s ex-Mrs.,  I see she just returned to Hollywood from the East, where she helped welcome a new grandchild. Since the divorce isn’t final, does or doesn’t that make Clark a grand-pappy? Or who cares? Not Carole!

    They were just so “together.” I can’t imagine what it must have been like for Clark to lose Carole. Such a great piece you’ve uncovered here. Thank you.
