ok let's start with the you getting titles correct, the movie clark and loretta was in was "Call of The Wild", not whatever you said. Second it was more on her part not Clark's that she wanted to protect her reputation, to the point that Judy was forced to write a book to claim her lineage because loretta refused to acknowledge she was her mother publicly. In her book she said that clark wouldn't leave her alone with her only allowing him to see the child after him and carol become an item. Being in his bio, it was said that clark separated from ria because of the baby. With everybody knowing loretta was pregnant, outside of the public. Clark's forth wife was a gold digger with her being known for doing the same thing clark did collecting husbands left and right. And though judy didn't know clark was her father when she met him before he died, according to loretta's book there was more than one attempt for the two to meet after making their second movie "keys to the city" in 1950. Louie b Mayer's grandson said that clark was bitter that loretta wouldn't let him have early involvement in judy's life, guessing that he gave up on the whole thing after he got married to kay especially after she was trying to give him a child. Josphine knew clark and her marriage was not going to last with it being more out of convenience, where supposedly they didn't even share a bed. with ria using her money to get him.
