Mrs. Gable describes that this photograph belonged to Clark Gable and that it was kept in the family until the time of her mother in laws death. This photo is from the period Garland made one of her first movies Broadway Melody of 1938. In this movie, Judy Garland steals the show being pensive and leaning over Clark Gable’s photograph. She holds up the photo and sings: “Dear Mr. Gable, you made me love you”. To celebrate the birthday of Clark Gable, Judy sang “You made me love you” while Gable and Myrna Loy were filming Parnell. It was a memorable moment for Gable and he was deeply touched by the emotion Judy projected. Clark Gable later sent Judy a gold bracelet engraved: “ To my girlfriend Judy Garland, from Clark Gable”. In this photo, Garland may be wearing that bracelet. She has sent this same photo in appreciation. A true Hollywood RARITY, joining two of motion pictures greatest names...............SOLD  |
