Gossip Friday: Strangely Related Duos

From August 1936:

Strangely related duos in Hollywood. It’s a small world at that. Clark Gable and Carole Lombard. Bob Riskin and Julia Lair. Mrs. Gable and Alex Buckman. (Lombard was Riskin’s old girl, Miss Laird is Buckman’s ex-wife, and you know about the Gables.)

Riskin, who wrote the screenplay for It Happened One Night, later married Fay Wray in 1942.
