Shocking how young Judy Garland was when she died. I guess being that she starred in a movie in the 30s, I always imagined her as "old" when she passed; not as in old aged, but at least in her 50s or 60s. I was born in 1969, and everything that happened before I was born is thought of as ancient history, while stuff from the 70s isn't that long ago. :)

That's a real bittersweet photo of Clark and Carole.

Mickey Knox told me that when he worked with Gable in ANY NUMBER CAN PLAY, Gable was almost like a shadow on the set. MGM workers said that prior to Lombard's death Gable was a great fraternizer and a lot of fun on the sets of his pictures but that afterwards it was rare to see him even crack a smile.

Stone, I read that after Carole's death that Gable may have suffered a guilt complex. Perhaps Lana Turner, Virginia Grey, etc.?

Nice shot of Moorehead and the nag, PT.

Yes, Joe, apparently Gable did suffer great guilt after the plane crash - and also because he had talked his press agent Otto Winkler into accompanying Carole on the war bond tour.

Love the pictures of Gable and Lombard and Hitch and Vera Miles ( Looks like Hitch was trying to make Vera look like Grace Kelly )
