Gossip Friday: Gable, Tracy and Taylor
From January 1940:
Prime of the month—came from Robert Taylor, at the expense of Clark Gable, Spencer Tracy. Seems the three of them were lunching together, and Gable and Tracy were”riding” Taylor about being in line for the draft if America goes into the war. They razzed him and razzed him, with: “Poor Taylor; you’ll have to go, but we’re lucky. We’re TOO OLD to be called.”
“Yeah,” flipped Taylor, ducking; “but it took a war to bring THAT out!”
