Gossip Friday: Regifting

From December 1948:

Anita (The Face) Colby, who recently resigned an executive post at Paramount in Hollywood to establish a public relations firm in New York, arrived here the other day with two expensive paintings–farewell gifts from Clark Gable. What Miss Colby doesn’t know is that the paintings were brought over from Paris and presented to Gable by Dolly O’Brien, once her rival for the handsome actor’s affections.

And Miss O’Brien, of course, doesn’t know that Gable, no lover of art, has given the paintings to Miss Colby, between whom no love is lost.
