“Well, I think I like having my fortune told!” So I briefly continued. I found him to be a very down-to-Earth man and easy to spend time with. As our meal concluded, he asked me if I would walk across the street with him to a hardware store so we could continue talking.  “I’ll even pay for your meal tab!” he laughed.  I think he wanted company so that fans would be less likely to approach him. As we entered the store I noticed that a crowd was beginning to gather outside.  Word had spread of Gable’s whereabouts.  But when we left the store the fans were very respectful.  They parted like the parting of the Red Sea and we walked down the middle of the crowd to greetings of “Hello, Mr. Gable.” We agreed to meet another day at Dupar’s and in fact did meet there a couple of times for a meal, conversation and psychic messages. During one of the get-together s he told me that even though he was happily married at the time to Kay, he still thought about his previous wife, actress Carole Lombard. He had given Lombard a pair of golden topaz earrings during their marriage and said she wore them often as a symbol of their love. In 1942, she was scheduled to make an appearance, as many celebrities did during that time, on a War Bond tour, encouraging the public to support the military and the United States government. The couple argued over this.  Gable did not want her to leave on the tour and pleaded with her not to go. But she insisted.  In a fit of anger, she removed one of the topaz earrings and threw it at him as she stormed out the door, he told me. Tragically, it was the last time he saw her, since her plane crashed and she was killed.  When the heartbroken Gable learned of the crash, he said he rushed to the site, hoping to locate the matching earring, which was still with Lombard.  He said it was a sentimental, symbolic attempt to reunite the earrings as though it was reuniting the couple themselves. I convinced him the gesture was beautiful and that indeed one day he would actually see Carole again in the spirit world, which pleased him enormously. As fate would have it, years after Gable’s passing I was invited many times to a luxurious suite at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel which was called the Gable/Lombard Suite.  It was where the pair had reportedly shared many a romantic rendezvous before their marriage. Television crews from around the world interviewed me in the suite because the location was rumored to be haunted. I contacted Gable and Lombard in spirit in their suite during those interviews and they told me they are indeed together now in Paradise – a beautiful ending to their love story. I can assure you the hotel was indeed haunted, though now that it has undergone an extensive renovation the spirits of such legends as Gable and Lombard, Montgomery Clift and Marilyn Monroe are less likely to converge there. My only other spirit contact with Gable was when I brought him in at a séance for my client and friend Marilyn Monroe, to prove to her that she wasn’t indirectly responsible for Gable’s passing following what was the final film either of them made – “The Misfits.” Marilyn feared her chronic lateness on the set upset him to the degree that it caused the fatal heart attack he suffered. But Gable’s spirit assured me that he had been on a strict grapefruit and coffee diet and it was this that caused the heart attack.  Marilyn was greatly relieved. In my experience, Gable was totally unaware of his good looks and great appeal to women.  I think this is something he shares with a modern-day actor I compare to him – Hugh Jackman. Although he had made several films and had done stage productions in London and Australia, I was mostly unaware of Jackman until one evening when I watched James Lipton interview him on “Inside the Actors Studio”, in 2004. During the program, clips were shown of Jackman appearing on Broadway in what was then a current musical production of “The Boy from Oz.”  When I learned that the show was the life story of singer/songwriter Peter Allen it captured my attention. I had known Peter Allen and given him psychic messages many years before. There was a popular television show in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada called “The Tommy Banks Show.” I flew to Canada to appear. It was the custom of the show for the performers who had just taped that night’s show to have a dinner party, and the group of performers who were to appear on the following night’s show were arriving at the same time. This night, I had appeared as a guest with personality Pamela Mason and we were dining together. She gazed across the room and waved. “Oh – there’s Peter Allen!” she said happily, and she invited him to our table. He told us he would be appearing on the show the following day and sat with us. We had a wonderful conversation followed by my giving him several psychic messages, which he gladly responded to. We concluded the evening by him saying that he hoped we’d meet again one day soon. Strangely enough, a few weeks later I was re-booked on “The Tommy Banks Show.” This time, having dinner following an appearance he’d already made was none other than Peter Allen, who excitedly invited me to his table, since I was arriving to tape the show the next day.  We continued where we’d left off previously, with conversation and psychic messages. So following the viewing of “Actors Studio” with Hugh Jackman, I made up my mind to attend a performance of “The Boy from Oz” on an upcoming New York trip. The show was magnificent and I was amazed by Hugh’s talents. He sang – he danced – and following a brief intermission, he beat the audience back into the theatre to do it all over again in Act Two, gyrating and singing atop a grand piano.  Best of all, I saw the spirit of Peter Allen onstage with Hugh during many portions of the show, delightedly enjoying every minute of it! Though I had not planned to go backstage following the performance, I knew when I saw Peter Allen’s spirit that I had to let Hugh know about the approval he’d received from the other side. I asked a theatre employee to direct me to the stage door and he said he’d be glad to, as long as I didn’t get my hopes up about actually getting backstage to meet Hugh. “No one has had any luck in doing that,” he confessed. “It’s just been the show’s policy and we’ve turned away some big names in show business,” he said. We rounded the corner and arrived at the stage door, where more than 300 screaming fans awaited a glimpse of the star. The theatre employee introduced me to the stage door man, explaining that I’d been Peter Allen’s psychic and had something to tell Hugh Jackman. “I don’t care who you are,” came the gruff reply from the door man. “No one gets back to see Mr. Jackman – no one.”  I gave him my business card nonetheless, with a brief note on the back, and he begrudgingly agreed to present it to someone close to Hugh. Minutes went by without a response. I concluded that indeed I was another name to add to the list of people not given admittance, so my companion Valerie and I began leaving the theatre area. Just then we heard, “Kenny Kingston – come back here!  Kenny Kingston – Mr. Jackman wants to talk to you!” The amazed hundreds of fans parted the way for us as we returned to the stage door and entered the backstage area.  Hugh Jackman could not have been more gracious.  I told him about seeing Peter Allen onstage and he smiled and thanked me.  “I totally believe that,” he admitted.  “I’ve seen him and felt his presence myself,” he said…”but I’ve come to the conclusion that you have to be careful who you admit that to.” I gave Hugh some personal messages about himself and about his wife.  I concluded by telling him – in advance of the Tony award nominations even being announced – that he would win a Tony for his performance in “Boy from Oz.”  I also told him he would go on to host the Tony Awards.  He was thrilled. And I am happy to say that both predictions came true. More recently, I received a psychic message on one of the first days of production on Hugh’s new film, “Les Miserables.” The spirits told me that major awards were again coming his way.  I reported all of this in my blog at www.psychickennykingston.wordpress.com.  I’m happy to say that as of this writing, the awards season in Hollywood has just begun.  So far, nominations for the Screen Actors Guild and the Golden Globe awards have been announced, and Hugh Jackman’s name, as well as “Les Miserables”, has figured prominently in those nominations. I predict the continuation of good things for Hugh Jackman, who to me is following the path of Clark Gable.  He is unaware of his good looks and fame, avoids much of the Hollywood party scene, and is an actor by choice and a sex symbol by accident.]]>
