Untold Production Secrets That Happened on Different Hollywood Sets

The only thing better than a really good conspiracy theory is a really good one that is revealed years later to be true. Interestingly enough, the main reason that Gable and Young kept their affair [ostensibly] secret was in order not to harm either of their careers. However, Young’s Catholicism may have also played a part.

Having said that, the topic of their affair, as well as their daughter’s parentage, was pretty much an open secret in Hollywood, which does beg the question: was the semblance of secrecy worth the probably negative impact on the poor girl’s life? I know what I think, but I guess they thought otherwise.
