Gossip Friday: Still Waiting for that Decree

From November 1938:

Tip: don’t do a pass-out with surprise if the next beeg (sic) change in who’s-whose-in-Hollywood pops right in the middle of the Clark Gable picture! It’s been so long the way it is that Hollywood can hardly picture things any different: Clark Gable and Carole Lombard clowning happily around movieland together, the merriest romance duo of Hollywood; while Mrs. Clark Gable remains obscurely but undivorcedly in the background.

However, there’s a change a-brewing. Long dormant financial settlement negotiations are steaming hot again between Clark and the missus, unless the inside information is all haywire. And so don’t be too, too amazed if all of a sudden, Clark Gable is a single man again, thanks to the divorce courts!
