She came and spoke at our Gateway to the Wind Conference and I had a very nice chat with her. Check our her enormous photo gallery, the Gone with the Wind section is quite extensive. Also, there are a lot of wonderful, cute pics of Clark and Carole-everybody's favorites.<br /><br />Iris354 you're absolutely correct, Rhett and Gable were both broken by love. If you look at the photos of him after Carole's death - esp. those in the 1950s - you can see exactly how much Carole's death took out of him. At least in the 1940s he had his military service to keep him going. Once that was over, he was lost. His last marriage to Kay was just an old man looking for somebody to take care of him and give him peace in his final years. It can make you wonder if that's what Rhett was looking for after Scarlett- assuming, of course, that they were real people. ;-)Rita in St Lounoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4156452579073833353.post-42958188371828401972010-11-14T12:58:59.649-06:002010-11-14T12:58:59.649-06:00Great article, and a really interesting website. ...Great article, and a really interesting website. But, I have to wonder about Gable's contention that he had never met Olivia de Havilland or Leslie Howard before. Perhaps de Havilland, but he and Leslie Howard both appeared (and had scenes together) in "A Free Soul" eight years earlier.Shaninaluxnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4156452579073833353.post-11754221622809639132010-11-14T11:23:29.779-06:002010-11-14T11:23:29.779-06:00Thanks for this link.

Ironic to think that Gable describes Rhett as a man broken by love, and then when Carole died, he, too, was a man broken by love.iris354noreply@blogger.com
