Gossip Friday: Two Left Feet
From January 1939:
Clark Gable, attempting to master the art of tap dancing for his role in “Idiot’s Delight”, doesn’t know an electrician hid on a high rafter of the sound stage to watch Clark, who permitted no watchers. And the electrician became so convulsed at Clark’s awkwardness he nearly fell headlong at the actor’s feet!

Hey now, Clark didn’t do so bad! Stay tuned– I’ll be reviewing Idiot’s Delight for the CMBA Films of 1939 Blogathon on Tuesday.
New this week:
I have added two new categories to the gallery–
“In His Footsteps,” which has pictures of places Clark has wandered. Right now I have uploaded pictures of the Georgian Terrace Hotel in Atlanta, where Clark and Carole stayed during the premiere of GWTW. Much more to come!
“Events”, which has pictures of GWTW events. I have uploaded pictures from May 7’s Social Media Meet-up at the Margaret Mitchell House in Atlanta, the April 2009 70th Anniversary Screening of GWTW in Atlanta and the Gateway to the Wind event in St. Louis in November 2010. Yeah, I know, I am way behind on uploading these. It is rather shameful. But here they are now! And soon I will have pics from the GWTW event in Atlanta taking place June 10-11!
