In 1936, while working for Carole Lombard’s agent Myron Selznick, Garceau met Lombard and became her exclusive agent. Lombard was the highest-paid star in Hollywood when she married Clark Cable in 1939, and Garceau became his secretary. With Garceau, Gable broke his strictly maintained silence about his early years: his two previous marriages to Josephine Dillon and Ria Langham, his family life, his early struggles on Broadway and in Hollywood. Jean Garceau stayed with him for almost twenty years after Carole Lombard’s tragic death at age 33 in a plane crash, remaining an integral part of his life through his war service, his film career’s ups and downs, and his marriages to Lady Sylvia Ashley and Kay Spreckles Gable.
