Gossip Friday: Scared of Crawford

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 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 for the picture.”
