Gossip Friday: Grand New Rifle

From August 1935:

Clark Gable has been hunting again–with that gr-r-rand new rifle of his, which has gold sights and mountings that catch the sunlight and warn any animal with range that he is on its trail. The plan to have his debutante step-daughter, Georgiana, screen-tested seems to be in abeyance for the moment. We understand that Clark is wholly in favor of the idea, but wants to take the tests with her and have her gowned by Adrian first.

This rumor of Clark’s stepdaughter being screen-tested appears quite often. I am not sure if it ever really happened, but “Jana” never became an actress. It also seems out of character for Clark to encourage her and to insist on having her “gowned by Adrian.”
