#power couples

Here’s something from the “Old Hollywood power couples” file.

Random quote from each book. Left to right:

Gable and Lombard:

“My breasts, my breasts,’ moaned the platinum Venus as her nipples enlarged to the size of thimbles. ‘Oh please, please f*** me,’ she pleaded with the husky truck driver.” – Quote from Jean Harlow, which may or may not be total bullshit.

Tracy and Hepburn:

“My father—” he began, “John Edward Tracy – was a powerful man. In every way. Body and mind. He was in the trucking business most of his life– and he was kind of a truck himself. A hell of a worker…” - Spencer Tracy on his father, the truck.

Don’t ask me what all this is about trucks and truck driver. I’m honestly just opening the books at random pages!

Astaire & Rogers:

“On the day shooting was to begin, Judy made her appearance at MGM. She proceeded directly to the Barclays set and planted herself behind the camera as an observer. Her presence unsettled everyone in the company. Charles (Chuck) Walters, the director, couldn’t stand to have her there, obviously hostile and critical. He requested that she leave. Judy flatly refused. He applied physical strength and forcibly led her from the sound stage, barring her possible re-entry by posting a guard at the door. She struggled against his grip, loudly calling gutter curses at Ginger as she went.” - Ginger Rogers replaces Judy Garland in 'Barclays’.

You could say Judy was cursing like a truck driver! ha ha.
