Includes an excerpt from an interview with the great actor Clark Gable by Alma Whitaker of The Los Angeles Times: “ ‘I wasn’t intended for the stage’, grins Clarke Gable...’I was unhappy and unsatisfactory in business and ran off with a little traveling show that played the north-west towns...Then I got ambitious and came to Los Angeles, intent on getting into the movies. I didn’t make it to the screen, but I did win the interest of Lillian Albertson.’” With a list of other well-known film actors and featured players of stage, screen, and radio with whom Ms. Albertson has worked, and additional praise from reviewers and entertainment journalists. Very rare.
