Often the actors warmed Brendi and had fun. Gable whenever he was looking for Loretta, shouted: “Where is my girl? Despite the sincere sympathy for the partner on the set, Lorret did not allow itself to be anything superfluous. She was passionate about the other man and dreamed of a romantic relationship with whom she recently started. The girl checked the mail daily: did there be a long -awaited letter from Tray?
Clark went to her at night. In her concept, the word “prying” was too extreme for the situation: after all, this happens to women in deaf alleys, and when your “no” is not regarded as “no” and this happens with a friend, friend, colleague, what is the “exhaustion”? After some time, one of the sisters of Loretta, being at home, heard bent sobs coming from her room. Polly quietly opened the door.
The frightened Loretta whispered: - I do not know how this could happen. It was only once. Suddenly it’s just a cycle failure. Loretta frantically shook her head. The sisters decided to tell about everything of the mother. Mrs. Young grabbed her head. What kind of girl is this! At the age of seventeen, she secretly escaped with the summer actor Grant Witers in Arizona and married him there.
Mrs. Young raised her children as zealous Catholics. And now - please! Not only did my daughter start a novel, it was half a worm. But the fact that her chosen one was not a Catholic, her mother could not forgive. Mother refused to talk with her and forced her sisters to do the same. The boycott lasted for a long time. But what happened now is just terrible! In addition, Gabel was married.
Mrs. Young immediately called the family doctor, Dr. Halloran and asked to inspect her daughter. The doctor confirmed the pregnancy of Loretta and determined the date of the alleged birth - early November. There was no talk of abortion of a devout family. At the family council, they decided to hide the pregnancy of Loretta and then give the child to the adopted. Clark Gabel and Riya in the year Clark Gable and Riya in the year at a party about the end of the filming, organized by the wife of Clark Saet Levita Riya, Loretta did not go, although Mrs.
Gable personally invited her. Firstly, she was terribly mutated, and secondly, she was childishly afraid of meeting with the father of the unborn child and his wife, who was only a gamble to think only! MGM bosses would have recognized about her pregnancy, most likely she was forced to have an abortion, as they did with Jin Harlow, Judy Garland and others. And even worse - a terrible scandal would have erupted and the reputation of the two stars suffered.
Hollywood in the first half of the age of Great Very reverently monitored the moral appearance of the actors. The stars could even be punished for any kind of illegal connections. Miss Young had to finish shooting in two films while her stomach is still invisible. This was an explanation: recently, she worked at 18 hours a day. Returning, Loretta gave the Hollywood press an interview, lying in bed and covered with many blankets to hide the stomach.
Miss Young assured that she was better and she is recovering. Mother and sisters transported Loretta to a small in advance removed cottage in which the birth should have taken place. At the appointed time, she gave birth to a daughter, whom Judy called. For some time after childbirth, she remained with the patronage nurse Frenchi, who helped Lorette take care of the child.
Dr. Hollaran, who took birth, on November 13, submitted Judy's birth documents, in which the mother of the baby was indicated "Margaret Yang, the artist in the film industry", in the column "Father" - a dash was placed. Loretta gradually recovered after childbirth and on the eve of the New Year, bandaging her chest, shone at the party at the producer Sam Goldwin. The daughter, who remained with the nurse in the same cottage, visited Loretta as soon as possible.
The nurse Frenchi, having conspired with the housekeeper, decided to blackmail the Yang family, threatening to issue information. But the housekeeper warned Loretta. It was urgent to solve something in order to avoid rumors. Judy was placed in a Catholic orphanage. Loretta with her daughter Loretta with her daughter in June Loretta publicly announced the adoption of two little girls through a column of secular chronicle of Luella Parsons.

Miss Young answered all questions: “I can’t say where these children come from.But I want to quickly forget that they were not my ear sinks Judith were as protruding as Gabel, and Loretta always covered the baby’s head with a hat or curls in public.
Before the wedding, Loretta told her future husband: - There should be no omissions between us. If you want to know something, ask, and I will tell you. Tom kissing her, replied: - No, dear, everything is in order. And five -year -old Judy since that time began to wear the surname Lewis. The girl grew up an exact copy of her father. By the age of seven, she had to do a small operation on her ears - otoplasty.
Soon, Judith appeared the younger brothers - Christopher and Peter. When Judy was fifteen, Gable, as it were, accidentally went to visit her. He asked Lewis about her life, hobbies, about success at school, and then, leaving, kissed her forehead. This was the only time the girl was talking to Gaible, and at that time she had no idea that he was her father. Rumors picked up by Hollywood gossipers only confirmed her suspicions.
Judy began to feel unnecessary and lonely. Like any adoptive child, the girl repeatedly asked her mother about her biological parents, but never received a direct answer. The girl was 23 years old and a young man named Joe Tinny made her an offer. Judy refused: - You know everything about yourself. I don't know anything about myself. The guy replied: - You don't know?
And everyone knows - your father is Clark Gable. Judy demanded that her mother tell the truth about her origin. Loretta retired to the room, referring to poor health and said nothing.
