Gossip Friday: No Time Off

From September 1937:

Metro studio offered Clark Gable six weeks more of vacation. The studio messenger found Gable in his dressing room right on the lot, where he had been hiding out for a couple of days.

“I don’t want more time off,” Gable said, nearly flattening everybody with astonishment. He had come back to town quietly, gotten a script of his next story, which is “Test Pilot,” and become so interested in it he wanted to go to work.
