I can't believe he received one Oscar, he really deserved to get one for gone with the wind! Nobody could have played that part like him. Great actor, handsome! It's so sad he lost his wife Carol Lombard , they were perfect together!

@julianmarsh1378 3 жыл бұрын

After Lombard died, Gable enlisted in the air force. An officer, he went against regulations and went on bombing missions, serving as a gunner. During the war, he visited a hospital for wounded soldiers. A medical officer, a major I believe, showed him around. They came to one shot up kid and the doctor went on about how the kid only had two hours to live. When Gable objected to talk like this in front of the poor soul, the doctor reassured him the boy was too shot up with morphine to understand anything. When Gable saw a tear come down the soldier's face, Gable took the officer out to the hall, threw him up against the wall and said if he ever did anything like that again, Gable would kill him. Since reading that story, my respect for Gable knows no limits.

Clark Gable will always be "The King of Hollywood". No other actor, or for that matter, no other man had his charisma, and alpha male personality. It is telling that he was referred to as "Mr. Gable" by the people that interviewed him and by his fans when they would meet him. There will never be another like him.

I don’t know if it’s just me, but I love the narrator’s voice. It’s not professional at all, but it’s so calming and soothing. And I love learning about all my favorite old movie stars. I only meant to watch a couple of these, but I’ve been watching them all day long. I can’t get enough of them. 🤔

I saw some parts from old clips when ship named after Carole Lombard was celebrated and it was threw on sea's. He was there. He was standing. Pretending to be strong man. But I replayed this part over and over. His broken smile was near to explosion. He loved her so much. He kept piece of her always with himself, a piece of brooch from the place of tragic death that she received from him for Christmas. Friend of his told that he was always asking himself "why ma? why?' and he decided to go to the military and become a pilot because he wanted to die the same way. In sky, like she did. So devastated story of those two amazing people.

Oh I'm not saying he wasn't a user, I'm just saying how many women adored him. He was quite rugged, along with Robert Taylor. If Taylor was around today, women would not leave him alone to catch his breath, that guy was more rugged than Mel Gibson in his prime. Alot of those 1930s stars had on screen partners who were together for at least a few different films, and made their love for each other believable enough to where it was hard to believe something was not going on between them off screen. Best examples were Gable and Jean Harlow, Taylor and Eleanor Powell, William Powell and Myrna Loy, Dick Powell and Ruby Keeler, Rooney and Judy Garland, and Janette McDonald and Nelson Eddie. The latter two really did romance off screen. The others, no one was as sure about, and Powell and Keeler most likely had nothing going on off screen since Keeler was married to Al Jolson (who was the jealous type) and Dick Powell married Joan Blondell. There's still no way to know 100℅ if they didn't privately elope a few times, even behind their spouses' backs.

At first, I too, was surprised by the narrator's soft, slightly southern, voice, but the voice was so gentle, and the facts so interestingly shared, I was entranced.

Hollywood doesn't want us to focus on the facts about one of these most glamorous actresses- she had been beaten by her husband and lost her kidneys. Mr Gable was so kind to get her to the hospital as he had charmed her mother into acquiescing into the trip to the hospital. Apparently he was the only one trusted enough to keep the secret from the public. Pretty much the gentleman.

Ed Miller well if you’re gonna go after or confront someone at least use the correct darn word! ‘Loose’ is as in ‘your shirt is too loose’ or ‘my horse got loose’! But if you ‘lose’ something it means it’s gone, ‘I’m gonna lose my shit bcuz people constantly misuse the words!’ Or ‘seriously lose the loose tooth already kid or I’m gonna tie a string around it and tie it to the door then slam the door and yank it outta there!’

No ur all wrong Jean Harlow had an affair with William Powell aka The Think Man and she became pregnant with his child but had to have an abortion or was forced to by the head of the Studio because Powell was married and having an affair with the 26 yr old Harlow this would have ruined his career and unfortunately after she had the abortion she developed an infection that killed her. Clark Gable knew this and that's why he was so worried about her but unfortunately couldn't save her in time

@Gabriel Chandra - I agree! It's a possibility that it was politics. He demanded that the Black actors be treated as equals on the movie set, and when the Movie opened the Black actors weren't allowed to come to the premiere, he threatened not to show up unless they allowed all of the Black actors be allowed to attend, and they complied to all of his demands. I guess it was a way of getting back at him.
