Gossip Friday: A Change of Heart
From May 1955:
We can be wrong, of course, but we also doubt that Clark Gable and Kay Williams Speckels will ever say “I do” to each other.
Same magazine, September 1955:
Clark Gable’s elopement with blonde and beautiful Kay Spreckels came as no surprise to me. Clark likes to laugh, and Kay is full of fun. This is the marriage Clark needed to forget his last mistake with Lady Sylvia. It was only shortly before they took the plunge in the wedding pool that the King was asked when it would happen. He put off with: “Kay and I might do it just to kill your favorite question.” But I knew then they’d do it because they were—and are—in love.

Yes, they were! I knew Clark loved Kay. He loved Carole and Kay and that’s that. I guess Carole was everyone’s favorite because of her tragic demise and was a famous actress. You should all be aware that in our lives, we can love two, or even more people in our life. Clark loved Carole when he was younger, and he loved Kay when he was old.
Both were wonderful women and both made him happy. I just wish the fans of Carole shouldn’t be hateful towards Kay because I’ve read some nasty comments and it made me disgusted.
As for me, I am grateful for what Kay had done for Clark in the last remaining years of his life. He was happily in love and experienced what it was like to have children. He was happy when he died.
