Gossip Friday: Scared

clark gable joan crawford dance fools

From October 1933:

Clark Gable tells an amusing story about Joan [Crawford]. “The only time I ever have been scared in my life was the first time I worked with her,” he declares, “I wasn’t worth a nickel those first few days, couldn’t remember my lines at all, and even acted scared.

“It’s funny when I look back, because the one person of whom I should have been frightened, Garbo, didn’t bother me in the least. The first four days I worked with her I never even spoke to her except when we were doing scenes together. And it was during those four days that we shot all the hot love scenes in the picture.”

    I’m back- and so are you!! 🙂 It’s interesting that Clark feared Joan but had no issue with being intimidated by Garbo. I think he saw Garbo for what she was and not what she projected to the world.
