Gossip Friday: Clark Gable to the Rescue

From March 1937:

A young lady we know experienced the double thrill of being rescued from a predicament by Clark Gable, and of being mistaken by him for Carol [sic] Lombard, all on the same afternoon.

Stranded on the roadside by motor trouble, the attractive blonde girl was just about to go for help when Clark drove up. First he apologized for mistaking her for Carol [sic], and then pushed her ailing car down the street a few blocks to a garage.

Prior to that adventure the young lady’s favorite actor was Clark Gable. He’s still her favorite actor.
