Birth Name: William Clark Gable

The "King" of Hollywood Gable incidentally made six films with one of my favorites Jean Harlow (The Secret Six-1931, Red Dust-1932, Hold your Man-1933, China Seas-1935, Wife vs. Secretary-1936 and Saratoga-1937) One of his most famous roles is that of Rhett Butler in the 1939 Blockbuster Gone With the Wind. At this time as well he was in the midst of a storybook romance with the beautiful and talented Carole Lombard, but that ended suddenly in 1942 as she was killed in a plane crash. The rest of Gables career was an eclectic mix of war stories mysteries and love stories with his final film being The Misfits. With Marilyn Monroe and Montgomery Clift, it was good film that meant the end for all three of their careers. |
