Gossip Friday: A Brief Divorcee?

From March 1939:

Mrs. Clark Gable, who is in Las Vegas awaiting her divorce, may marry as soon as her former husband does. Hal Strotz, the former Mrs. Jay Gould’s widower, flew to Las Vegas to spend the weekend as Mrs. Gable’s guest. He telephones to her every day and, according to her close friends, is devoted to Ria. Her divorce will become final on March 6 and, while there is no official word that she will become Mrs. Strotz, things look serious between her and her admirer.
