The Scandal Worried Her Mother

As whispers of an illicit romance between Grace Kelly and Clark Gable on the set of Mogambo began to spread, they soon reached the ears of Grace’s mother, who was determined not to let her daughter’s reputation be tarnished by scandal. Taking matters into her own hands, she flew all the way to Africa with the intention of supervising Grace, in an effort to shield her from any potential impropriety. Despite her mother’s vigilant presence, it seemed to do little to dampen the ardor that had ignited between the two stars.

While Grace Kelly never explicitly confirmed the affair, she later dropped a tantalizing hint about the nature of their connection.
