No Undershirt
Who knew that Clark Gable’s bare chest could have such an impact on the undershirt industry? He was a total heartthrob, and seeing him without a shirt on was a dream come true for many ladies back in the day. But causing a depression in undershirts? That’s some serious star power right there!
It shows Hollywood’s influence, even in the most unexpected ways. I wonder if any other actors or actresses unintentionally caused any other strange trends or phenomena over the years. Maybe Marilyn Monroe caused a shortage of red lipstick, or James Dean caused a spike in leather jacket sales. What do you think?
