I read that Clark Gable never got over her death.
We recently visited Hearst’s castle on the Central California coast - Hearst had a special bedroom built just for Gable and Lombard after they’d gotten married - was open to the sky with a spectacular, domed latticework ceiling. He had to have it covered over because of rain, etc. - Still, it was beautiful...and sad.
No, I don’t think he ever got over her death.
Hitchcock was good friends with her, and made a movie especially for her.
