Gossip Friday: Calling It Quits

_

From August 1935:

Clark Gable stated on the set of China Seas, a few days ago, that on May 1st, 1940, he firmly intends to turn in the key to his dressing room and leave pictures forever.

“Even if I am still in demand at that time, I shall quit,” says Clark.

Actors have said that before but Clark has been fed up with the picture business for some time, according to his own statements and everyone believes HE MEANS IT! SERIOUSLY!
