Gossip Friday: He Makes Them Tingle

Fan letter from 1946:

It is wonderful to know that we will soon see Clark Gable again. He doesn’t make the femmes “swoon”–he makes them “tingle.”

Others have portrayed the adorable scoundrel but none can do it so effectively as Clark Gable; one wonders whether it is something provocative in his eyes or just that ironic grin.

Generally when a male star is popular with the ladies, he is hated by the men, so I think Clark Gable passes the supreme test in being popular with both sexes.
