CONSEQUENTLY, THEY ARE OFTEN ATTRACTED TO MEN AND WOMEN WHO ARE ENTIRELY OPEN WH THEM, EVEN CRIL OF THEM. I BELIEVE GABLE FELT THAT WAY ABOUT LOMBARD. AS FAR AS I KNOW GABLE AND BALL HAD NO RELATNSHIP WHATSOEVER. I DO NOT EVEN KNOW IF THEY EVER EVEN MET. QUE POSSIBLY THEY DID NOT.

WHEN ASKED,’WHY DO YOU ASK?’ SHE REPLIED, ‘SO I N TELL PEOPLE NOT TO GO TO THAT STORE.’ THE MAN WAS CLARK GABLE!

PEOPLE POSNS OF POWER OR FAME GET FED UP WH SYPHANTS (OR SO I HAVE READ), SO THEY ARE OFTEN IMPRSED BY SOMEONE WHO CHOOS TO NOT FAWN OVER THEM. THE OLD SAYG, ‘NOBODY LIK A KISS-ASS’ IS A TE ONE.

ALLEN SEPTEMBER 6, 2015 AT 12:55 PM I THK I FALLY GOT YOUR MENT ABOUT SYPHANTS, PECIALLY AFTER WHAT YOU SAID ABOUT CAROLE LOMBARD. MAYBE GABLE FIGURED THAT BALL WAS A “NO GO”, KNEW ABOUT BOGIE, OR JT WASN’T TERTED.REPLY ALAN ROYLE SEPTEMBER 7, 2015 AT 2:54 AM I MT HAVE EXPRSED MYSELF UNCLEARLY. MANY FAMO PEOPLE, PECIALLY THE ENTERTAMENT FIELD, ARE SURROUND BY ‘Y MEN’ WHO AGREE WH EVERYTHG THEY SAY. THAT IS WHAT I MEANT BY ‘SYPHANTS’. CONSEQUENTLY, THEY ARE OFTEN ATTRACTED TO MEN AND WOMEN WHO ARE ENTIRELY OPEN WH THEM, EVEN CRIL OF THEM. I BELIEVE GABLE FELT THAT WAY ABOUT LOMBARD. AS FAR AS I KNOW GABLE AND BALL HAD NO RELATNSHIP WHATSOEVER. I DO NOT EVEN KNOW IF THEY EVER EVEN MET. QUE POSSIBLY THEY DID NOT. I RELL READG THAT HENRY FONDA HAD NEVER MET KATHARE HEPBURN UNTIL THEY MA ‘ON GOLN POND’ TOGETHER, EVEN THOUGH THEY HAD BOTH BEEN INS HOLLYWOOD FOR 50 YEARS OR SO.REPLY S.

PEOPLE POSNS OF POWER OR FAME GET FED UP WH SYPHANTS (OR SO I HAVE READ), SO THEY ARE OFTEN IMPRSED BY SOMEONE WHO CHOOS TO NOT FAWN OVER THEM. THE OLD SAYG, ‘NOBODY LIK A KISS-ASS’ IS A TE ONE.
