Myrna Loy and James Stewart were in After the Thin Man and Wife vs Secretary together, both in 1936. They were never cast together in leading roles.
Clipping from Silver Screen magazine, April 1938.

Caption reads:
Old Hollywood Fistfight Alexandria Hotel Los Angeles The photo was taken inside the lobby of the Alexandria Hotel in downtown Los Angeles. The image also happens to be based on a real-life fistfight between future MGM mogul Louis B. Mayer and Charles Chaplin, who briefly took swings at each other inside the lobby in 1920. Mayer won the tussle. Photo (and the true story) appears in the new book Haunted by History Vol. 1. Photographer: Craig Owens

Charlie Chaplin, Gloria Swanson (left) and Marion Davies (right) at a party held at the Ambassador's French Room on October 31, 1928, to celebrate Marion's return from a three-month tour.
Second photo - Marion Davies with Buster Keaton.
In the third photo - Gloria Swanson, Charlie Chaplin, Marion Davies and Harry Crocker.
In the group photo, guests, probably not all, who attended the party - standing, from left to right: Lorraine Eddy, Matt Moore, Aileen Pringle, Louis B. Mayer, Gloria Swanson, Harry D'Arrast, Miss Davies, Louella O. Parsons, Ricardo Cortez, Charlie Chaplin, Norma Shearer, Irving G. Thalberg, Harold Lloyd and Robert Z. Leonard. Seated in the foreground are Harry Crocker, left, and William Haines.
The Ambassador's French Room was transformed into a Parisian café for a surprise party for Miss Davies on 31 October 1928.
On this occasion, heartfelt thanks to the friends of the "Charlie Chaplin for the Ages" group on the Facebook community site, for providing some photos for this post.

Same anon again. Pitching Eli Wallach Deadpool. The Blondie/Tuco bounty scam in TGTBTU and their weird little vibes that say they've explored each others bodies and the mutual hate-affection-violence.
you’re hired. Thelma, get this anon a desk at the casting agency
