clark gable In 1942, following carole Lombard's death, Gable joined the U.S. Army Air Forces. Lombard had suggested that Gable enlist as part of the war effort, but MGM was reluctant to let him go, and he resisted the suggestion. Gable made a public statement after Lombard's death that prompted the Commanding General of the U.S. Army Air Forces Henry H. "Hap" Arnold to offer Gable a "special assignment" in aerial gunnery.

"Oh, no, it wasn't the airplanes. It was beauty killed the beast." . . Not a great movie (it was just ok!), but innovative in how it impacted special effects at the time. King Kong is a cultural icon, and the film is a staple in the creature feature genre! Also how can you not love Fay Wray's screams? . . . #kingkong #creaturefeature #creaturefeatures #monstermovie #monstermovies #monster #precode #precodefilms #faywray

 Ava's oldest sister Bappie was the one to accompany her out to Hollywood when Ava was first discovered, and the two remained close even through all the ups and the downs they went through together over the years! In the photograph on the right, taken in the early 1970s, Ava and Bappie still look close as they recreate an earlier picture from their younger years! • • #avagardner #bappiegardner #beatricegardner #1940s #1970s #oldhollywood #classichollywood
