Gossip Friday: His Biggest Fan
From September 1940:
It takes more than bombs to keep a Gable fan down. The star has just received from a girl in Lancashire, England, a cigarette case inscribed: “To Clark Gable–from his most ardent English fans.” While blitzkrieg impended, she went on to explain she has 10,000 photos of him, 172 magazine articles, 1,434 press clippings, 62 biographies and two authentic signatures of Gable.

No, that was not me. I promise I was not alive in 1940!

I wonder what happened to her collection. And the cigarette case.

Wow. Now that is a superfan!! I hope her collection survived and went to someone who also cared as much about Clark’s legacy 🙂
