No, he never recovered. Fell into a downward spiral of drinking.

@@ericstenzel6835 Did you ever read the book Fireball by Robert Matzen? If not, I highly recommend it. The book is about the plane crash and it’s aftermath.

Amen

A most beautiful couple indeed. I love Carol Lombard in that movie with Fredric March. I can't remember the name of it at the moment. That movie is a riot. Eugene Palett is in it too. She pretends she's sick, so everyone in the city feel sorry for her. She even gets a key to the city. Anyways, it's definitely a great one. And then Clark Gable in Night Nurse. He's such a bad guy in that one. Another one of my favorites.

Agree

I wish we could have seen them nearing the close of their lives sitting in the rockers on their front porch! That immense love and devotion would have aged like fine wine! 🌸🌸🌸

That would take quite a lady. Years ago I read a biography on Clark Gable. I don't remember who wrote it unfortunately. In it the author said eventually Kay, agreed to talk to him. She loved him very much. But she told the author she " couldn't compete with Carole's ghost". The marriage lasted until his passing. Very special what she did.

Her love was unforgettable ❤️ to him he held on to the chance of her surviving sobbed when bad news came he was trying to get to her rough terrian they recommended to wait at Pioneer Saloon,Goodsprings Memorial inside to both of them heartbreaking story.

Zerima Zerimar , love is sacrifice and consideration for the other person. It's being selfless, its patient and kind, at least it should be.

@@virginagobetz4756 no, his 3rd

@@lisag18 My mistake you're so right!

@Dr. killpatient Again my mistake I'm sorry.

She was buried by her late fiancé. So they are all together. She told a reporter that her fiancé that was killed was the love of her life.

Press reports state he was not on the mountain. Even though he was famous, he certainly was not trained/qualified to be on a recovery/rescue crew. But he was waiting at the bottom of the mountain to escort her body home. The hike itself is arduous, long, and to say a rough hike is an understatement. With all the press around at that time and adding the treacherousness of the climb, Gable would have been ill-advised to make that journey. And he didn’t want the recovery of his wife’s body to be a circus. So reports of him being on the mountain are false. That is fact.

@@JustMe-dd8lj Thank you for playing the theme from "Fried Green Tomatoes" with your video. It has the right sad, nostalgic tone. However, this lovely tribute has several inaccuracies. Lombard was tiny, about 5'1". Big personality, small woman. Clark Gable died in November, 1960, not 1961. Eddie Mannix made the climb up Mt. Potosi to identify Carole's body. Lombard loved cafe society and parties. Gable was the one who didn't. In his films after her death, we never again see that famous Gable Tomcat Grin or a twinkle in his eye.

I agree

Much respect, sir. This was the age when stars were eternal. Nowadays, they ALL stink, I think.

Very nice lady. Seemed to be so happy together maybe the gods were jealous. I prefer not to believe the rumour that she was rushing back because she heard some actress was hitting on clark.

How did she die? Was she sick?

Ed DeBolt Hollywood was patriotic

Tineke Williams plane crash so sad

Agreed

Thank you indeed! Exquisitely moving to those of us equally blessed to have loved and lost our soul mate...C. S. Lewis, and many others... Was the grief worth the memories? It is to me❤

Spot on Nora.

Rosalind Russell s husband was buried next to her even though he married again after her death. Why not, might as well be next to someone you cared aboit.

But, he cheated on her with Lana Turner & others.

​@nadyarossi5102 and he raped Loretta young and gave her daughter he ignored. The rape came out after the daughter died a few years ago😢

Gypsy Treasures pause it then read it ...

You can pause it or slow down the video.

Very irritating.

Ty for a great video. You really did some research. Excellent

The music was perfect. Thank you! I wondered if anyone else identified it from the FGT soundtrack. Most of the time, I cannot stand the music people put with their videos, but this is perfect. One caveat: Lombard was about 5'1" tall. She was tiny. I grew up in the San Fernando Valley and my early childhood was spent at the tail end of the horse ranching, rural era, just before the freeways and tract housing. My friend Lindsay lived one block from the Gable ranch on Petit Street. For more on Gable and Lombard's life in the Valley, read Victoria Wilson's biography of Barbara Stanwyck, "Steel True." Stanwyck built a house on Devonshire Blvd. about 6 miles from the Gable ranch in Encino. Stanwyck's house still stands, almost just as she built it.

Yes @K. Alice Pritchett, very well done too. I also thought Legrand’s musical score for the movie Gable and Lombard was hauntingly beautiful and fitting for the couple. 💕💕

Brandon Burrell LOL.... thank you for answering my question. Came to the comments to find out what that blurb about the bodies was about. Found your comment easily!!

Very. True

There was just as much artifice in Hollywood glamour then as now - bleached hair, foundation mascara, clever lighting etc.

No stress no junk food

No stress no junk food

No one is EVER prepared for their loved one to die, even if they are sick, and/or old. Your comment is insensitive, and rude. If, and when you lose a loved one, maybe you will understand, unless, you simply have no empathy. . .

Paul W: How old are YOU?

Magnifici. Carol bellissima e bravissima e Clark il Re.

Cynthia Gonzales Yin and Yang. But yes, they were.

Dr. killpatient So what !!!!! Are you happy now, sharing that comment? 😡😡

@Dr. killpatient Your comment, about Carole Lombard, was disrespectful, and rude. Do you like bashing people who have died tragically? That was a rhetorical question. * They're = They are

Carol Lombard was one of the few actresses who did not sleep around, pity womannizer gable did not do the same,he had to have all his leading ladies .

Agreed

Very. True

Susan Pearce, spot on,l don't know why she married gable may be she thought she could tame him,if carol had got back to the film set, she would have gone for turner .

George Lewko Or play together stay together. If you’re not the religious type.
