[QUOTE="ClassyCo, post: 283658, member: 7"] [JUSTIFY]It's nice to know that Harlow and Loy were friendly. We hear so often about how this doesn't like that one or those two didn't get along that's it's nice to know that two of the biggest female movie stars of the '30s had a healthy relationship. They made two movies together: WIFE VS. SECRETARY, co-starring Clark Gable, and LIBELED LADY, co-starring William Powell and Spencer Tracy. Both movies were released in 1936, with the latter being one of MGM's biggest hits of the year. Harlow had originally wanted to play Connie Allenbury in LIBELED LADY because her character would've ended up with William Powell at the end, the man who was her real-life boyfriend at the time. MGM wanted the movie to be another Powell-Loy vehicle, however, and they cast Loy as Connie. Since Harlow had already been touted to star in the film, she was cast as Gladys instead, Tracy's on-screen fiancée who he gets to fake a marriage to Powell. LIBELED LADY was one of the biggest box office hits of Harlow's short-lived career. It grossed over $1 million at the box office in 1936. The youngest of the four on-screen leads, Harlow received top billing. [ATTACH type="full" width="302px"]28931[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" width="355px"]28932[/ATTACH][/JUSTIFY] [/QUOTE]
