Gossip Friday: Thanksgiving in the Desert
From December 1959:
The Thanksgiving holiday and the Polo Matches at Eldorado attracted many visitors to the Palm Desert area. Clark Gable and Kay Spreckles had lunch on the terrace at Shadow Mountain Club while the children played tennis. Hugh O’Brien escorted pretty redheaded Doris Hurley to the Polo Fields.
Also on hand for Thanksgiving were Mr. and Mrs. Walter Lanz. Mr. Lanz is the creator of Woody Woodpecker and his wife is Woody’s voice. They were guests at the Shadow Terrace in Palm Desert.

Interesting that this piece didn’t acknowledge Kay as Clark’s wife given it was 1959. Whatever the reason, I love reading little tidbits like this about Gable’s personal life 🙂
