Gossip Friday: Carole is a thief!

Many Carole Lombard fans have probably seen these pictures before. But did you know that the hat was Clark’s?

From December 1937:

Hold your hats, boys! Leave it to our inimitable Carole to start a new millinery trend! In playful mood she stole Clark Gable’s new winter hat right off his head and found it was just the thing to complete her sport frock of beige covert cloth. Clark had carefully selected his hat in brown velour with a matching double band silk cord knotted and fringed in back. Carole’s two-piece frock is full of fashion interest. The jacket reaches below the hips and features zipper and saddle pouch pockets, leather buttons and glove stitching. The skirt is pencil-slim with inverted front and back pleats for full action.

No word on if Clark got his hat back!
