Gable 'Gums' Grace

Have you heard the true story about Grace falling in love with Gable, and Gable, being the honorable man he was, knowing he was way too old for her, during one passionate moment removed his false teeth for a smooch. The romance ended. What a guy.

I thought that they did have a fling together? Donald Sinden tells the story of finding them in bed together in Gable's trailer.

Kelly was a first class ho.
She bedded all her leading men and then some.

She bedded all her leading men and then some.

...before moving on to royalty.

She wasn't a "ho" you *beep* dinosaur! She enjoyed sex. So what?! If she had been a man, no doubt you'd have used the word "stud" or "player"

This is the 21st century FFS! *beep* off with your Victorian attitudes.

Gable lost his teeth 20 years earlier, he had some periodontal infection which nessecitated having all of his teeth pulled in one shot. Please excuse my spelling, I went to public school.

First of all, that's a great story, whether it actually happened or not! (Not that I have any reason to doubt, I have heard it before, and I believe it)

Second, Nikistx said:

Was she a "ho", as you say, or just an Ahead-Of -Her-Time Sexually Liberated Woman? I hear this criticism of Grace Kelly occasionally, and I don't understand why she is singled out for this behavior or even criticized for it. Smacks of jealousy to me. GK got to lay with all the Hollywood Hunks she chose, and still obtained the "Dream" - she got her Prince...she got to eat her cake and still have it, too. I say, Good For Grace.

Unless you mean, like I read in another post, it was because they were married. I'd still say the men were to blame more than she in that case, but I might be able to understand your displeasure in such a scenario.
