Gossip Friday: Up For Sale
From September 1941:
The beautiful ranch home of Clark Gable and Carole Lombard is for sale. The asking price is to be $130,000. The reason? The Gables have bought a ranch in Ventura county. They plan to build there and raise about 1200 head of cattle. They’d like to make only one picture a year, preferably both at the same time. During that period they’d rent an apartment in Beverly Hills. And once upon a time Carole was known as a party girl!

The ranch was on and off the market in 1941. After Carole’s death, Clark put it back up for sale, but could never bring himself to sell it. It was the last home for both of them.

Hello, my mame is Milton Berry. Thot it might be interesting to those who follow the Gables time at their encino home, to know that we lived next door to the Gables on petit avenue for 13 years, 1935-1948.
As a kid I only saw him and a few times had a one on one with him. What memories.
