Clark Gable also liked Martinis, actually he is the Hollywood character connected to the Martini Dry in the great book Cocktail of the Movies (highly recommended).
In order to make them really dry, James Gannon, the newspaperman Clark Gable played in Teacher’s Pet, moisten the cork of a bottle of vermouth and then runs it around the lip of the martini glass. And closes by saying “Gin? Is good for the stomach!”.
