Did Vivien Leigh really hate kissing Clark Gable?

Clark Gable and Vivien Leigh practice their waltzing on the first day of production on “Gone with the Wind” (1939). There has been a long standing rumour that Gable and Leigh failed to get on, and more particularly, that Vivien hated kissing him because he suffered from halitosis. Kendra Bean, the author of “Vivien Leigh: An Intimate Portrait” has, however, discovered evidence that this is far from the case. The idea that the actress was repelled by Clark seems to have entered the public domain via Anne Edwards’s 1977 Vivien Leigh biography. Edwards donated her papers to UCLA and, within this archive, is a cassette tape recorded by Leigh’s last boyfriend, Jack Merivale, in which he corrected Edwards’s manuscript. Merivale criticised the inclusion of the bad breath story. He described it as “untrue” and “degrading” and said that Vivien spoke of Gable often, in the friendliest possible way: “She liked Gable a great deal and I never heard her speak of bad breath. It would be unfortunate for Mr. Gable’s widow and his posthumous son to read that.” If Gable did indeed have halitosis, something never mentioned by his other leading ladies, or his wives - Carole Lombard, who adored him, told friends he “wasn’t a great lay” - he could have used Listerine. Besides, most stars in the 1930s were smokers, including Vivien, and were used to their leading men, or ladies, lacking rose-scented mouths. Film fans often draw attention to Gable having false teeth and cite this as the reason for his “halitosis”. Clark did indeed have dentures, due to poor dental hygiene while he was growing up in rural Ohio. He almost died from a gum infection in 1933, and had to have the majority of his teeth removed. However, he was known to be an obsessively clean man. Gable showered three times a day and had more than five sets of teeth custom made by the most skilful dentist in LA. He was also scrupulously well-mannered, and it would not have been in character for the actor to have offended his co-stars.

@CNN Apologise without reserve, be humble, gravitas focussed and respectful to the victims trauma and be a “MAN”! Instead of snakey wimpy elusive mutterings of denial!

Some of Elvis’ favorite downtime happened right at home. In the fall of 1965, you could often spot him zipping around the grounds of Graceland on one of his many rides.
