Hollywood Strike
It is very likely that Hollywood actors will be going on strike alongside writers. Surely it is a sign of the times when this happens that the who neo liberal model is not satisfying the needs of people and the demand for greater justice is spreading even wider.

August 1939: The Gables At Home
August 10, 1939 – The Evening Times
Clark Gable and his bride, the former Carole Lombard, go bucolic and spend much of their time with their chickens on their new twenty-acre ranch at Encino, Calif. Carole is recuperating from appendix operation.
August 11, 1939 – Daily News
Down on the Farm. Clark Gable and Carole Lombard, off screen, are just a couple of simple souls who hobnob with their chickens. The Gables dwell on a ranch in San Fernando Valley. They admit liking country life in contrast to their sophisticated screen personalities.

Stars Enjoy the Simple Life Down on the Farm
More and more the movie glamor girls and boys are going in for the simple life of the folks who till the soil. Well, of course, they don’t raise big crops – but when they’re not engaged at the studios the movie players take to the outdoors. Many of them own ranches and spend the greater share of their leisure in rustic surroundings. As, for example, Clark Gable and Carole Lombard, above. As the “farmer’s wife,” Carole hands Clark a cargo of “vittles” sufficient for a ranch hand – and Clark prepares to “tear into it.” Both are resting now after long months of work in the studio. Clark has finished with his role of Rhett Butler in “Gone with the Wind” while Carole is resting from her labors in “In Name Only.”
August 27, 1939 - The Tampa Tribune
At Home with the Gables
Life at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Gable is predominantly rustic, judging from these scenes. At least, it’s flattering to have a cameraman always handy when you are performing such homey chores. Here we have (1) “Tea” time with good old Nellie. It’s share and share alike, says Carole Lombard. (2) Just a couple of pals resting on the hind end of their service car. (3) Carole shows she has learned to water fowls without undue squeamishness - a star in a chicken coop, so to speak. (4) They’re proudest of what they believe to be the only perfectly docile mule in captivity. Its name, paradoxically, is Maud.
