As a young adult, I really liked him. I thought he was cool and all but then I read a book about him from a young woman who happened to be Loretta Young’s daughter and I found out that Clark Gable was her dad and he never once admitted that she belonged to him and she said that, her mom, Loretta Young opened up a bank account for her, so Clark Gable could put money in there for her but he never did put money in her account and he did absolutely nothing for this young lady, so I lost all respect for Gable!
That is what changed my opinion of him too. The daughter looked like him -- Including the big ears (surgically pinned back -- But just like his before the operation) Not wanting contact is one thing (not good) but refusing to support the child is deplorable, Gable was not poor.
Clarke Gable: # Gigolo/user of his 1st 2 wives. Inclusive of when one of his X wives became ill & in dire straights he refused to help. BUT the studio actually FORCED him to pay up & help! # There wasn't an affair or relationship between the religious Loretta & Gable, it was "date rape"! The studies wanted the pregnancy aborted, Loretta refused & went through an elaborate plan, ending with her adopting her own daughter. Gable wasn't interested in the child, or of supporting her. # Recognised satanist (a lot of Hollywood stars & elites where) & continues to this day. # Carol Lombard was the "love of his life" & she died in a plane crash. # He never got to meet his child with his 4th wife, dying himself before the birth. I believe that the last two points were a VERY nasty case of "Karma" catching up with Gable...
Karma visited him. It took him forever to divorce Ria Langham so he and Carole Lombard could marry. They were married for almost 3 years. She died in a plane crash coming home to him. At the age of 59, he was about to become a father (yeah, I know) and 4 months before the birth, he died. That little girl's mother was no saint either. To save her livelihood, she hid her pregnancy, gave birth in secret and sent the baby to an orphanage so she could "adopt" the girl 19 months later. Denied their blood relationship almost to her death. No one ditches karma.
@@kimberlyhughes6548well to be fair to her, she was Catholic, and had her image to think about. I don’t blame her, I commend her for not having an abortion, and for raising her daughter herself, even if it was in a roundabout way. Too bad, neither parent, could own their liaison, and the child it produced. 😢💔
Why don't you use photographs that correspond with your narration? If you're talking about a particular move use photographs from that move, if you're talking about an affair between two people use photographs of those two people.
Gable's "philandering" and alcohol use weren't particularly covered up. It was his on-screen persona that was carefully cultivated by Hollywood. True, they didn't like it when he was in a relationship with Joan Crawford while they were married to other people, but he wasn't about to lose his job. As punishment, Mayer would loan him out to other studios for pictures he didn't want to do. "It Happened One Night" was one of these and he won his only Oscar for it. I have been a Gable fan for over 70 years and the nonsense about running over a pedestrian is a new one. His screen image, that of a lovable rogue, was probably pretty similar to his actual persona. Burt Reynolds is a more modern example of the lovable rogue and it probably was the real him. The lovable rogue has all but disappeared from the cinema thanks to a thought police mentality. I would like to point out that applying 2023 political correctness (woke) standards to someone who died 63 years ago and whose prime was almost 90 years ago is so vacuous as to be laughable except that harsh, stupid, irreflective, judgment appears to be the prevailing ethos of our time. However, it isn't the least bit funny (although its legions of practitioners are occasionally so ridiculous that they provide entertainment value that they would be embarrassed by if they were not nincompoops). Gable's treatment of his daughter was his acceding to an impassioned plea by Loretta Young, which was the only way her ruse of adopting her own daughter would work. This allowed her to save face, a very important thing in the thirties. Loretta young was an imminently successful star who did not want or need Gable's money. Although I don't know this, I would imagine the loss for him was tremendous but he considered what he did was the proper and gentlemanly thing to do, given Young's feelings. Gable was famous for not liking parties and night life. His two great loves Carol Lombard (third wife) and Kay Sprekles (fifth wife) were his partners in his rugged outdoor pursuits. They were the two people he settled down with and who would likely have been permanent had Lombard lived and, with Sprekles, had he lived. Gable's first two marriages were essentially business arrangements to which all parties agreed and from which all parties benefited. His fourth marriage was a disaster, possibly exacerbated by his devastation from the death of Carol Lombard. The biggest Clark Gable mystery to me is that a man who could have pretty much any woman he wanted, even the stunningly beautiful, angelic, good Catholic girl, Loretta Young, ever gave Joan Crawford a second glance. If you are a very handsome, very masculine star in Hollywood in the thirties, you're probably going to submit to temptations that would make a 2023 wannabe activist and quasi-celebrity vilify you most self-righteously.
Shelley Winters said he didn't have bad breath (and she should know) and apparently Loretta Young wouldn't let him see his daughter. If he was allowed to see her can you imagine that it would have caused more scandal as he, like stars today would be followed everywhere.
Years ago I read a book by a young woman named Judy Lewis, whose mother was Loretta Young, and one of the stories she wrote in this book was about how she came without finding out Clark Gable was her father, and that her mother opened a bank account for her so that Gabriel could put money in there for her and Judy Lewis said that not once did he ever put any money in there for her and he never did try and see her as a matter fact, he didn’t even acknowledge her at all!
🤔I heard in an interview Judy said that she and Clark had a short reunion together and it was the only time. SHE acted like she appreciated it and didn't say anything negative about her father.😢😢
The problem with sexual lust is one is never satisfied. They need more, more and more, and each affair is still not enough, until they burn out in an all-consuming fire never fulfilled.
But they had fun, Clark Gable and Joan Crawford. I remember reading Gable was turned off by high society women, he liked women that were common, as they were called back then, ladies who slept around. No wonder he hit it off with Joan Crawford.
What ever he did in his personal life. Should not have affected anyone except the one he was with. He was truly a star. A real and handsome star the lists of character's he played, he played thrm wonderfully and accurately. You believed he was the one he portrayed. I loved his acting . I wished i could have met him.😢
In a book about the life of Joan Crawford there is a part which says Gables real big break came after he allowed a very powerful man in the Hollywood film industry "have" him in a toilet cubical in a restraunt - While i dont believe Gable was gay in ny shape or form i tend to believe this story because at the time he was living of the backs of rich much older women so doing what he had to do to finally make it wouldnt have been against his morals even if it was against his sexuality
Clark Gable and Joan Crawford were Box Office Gold back in the 1930's. Both were beautiful, young and vibrant people that the public loved. Their on/off the set romance translated to an onscreen chemistry that ignited the big screen. I remember reading that Crawford saw Gable in a minor role, liked what she saw and maybe even had ulterior motives too, and requested that he co-star in her picture, Dance, Fools, Dance-1931. At that time she had clout at MGM studios, it was said that the profits from her films paid for the artsy prestige pictures that didn't gross a lot of money for the studio. I can totally understand why they were drawn to each other, besides physical attraction. They both came from humble beginnings, both were streetwise and uneducated, and both were sexually promiscuous at an early age. They came from similar backgrounds, making it easy for them to feel comfortable with each other,. They didn't have to put on airs, they could be themselves with each other. There was still a class system back in the early 20th century, whose ladder both feverishly climbed, evolving and improving on their bleak and lower-class beginnings.
Jack Oakey a costar with Gable and Young said they were screwing like banshees during filming. So a third party said they were having an affair during production. Also Young starred with Gable on other movies after. she wanted to keep her pregnancy a secret and didn’t want to involve Gable. Thinkin Young was a bit miffed in later years.
I do believe it was an affair based on sexual chemistry between the two of them, NOT on the recently stated statement, that I heard in some documentary, that she was raped, or forced, by Clark. Even though she may not want to admit it, I think she just couldn't resist the charming and sexy Clark Gable.
I CANNOT imagine Joan Crawford making the beast with two backs. She has always creeped me out. Struck me as the type that would tear off your head and feast on the goo inside.
@@jeffkiper8199 Except that when one is in a marriage or an exclusive relationship when one person steps out. It is obvious that they do not respect their partner.
It’s interesting what females from different generations found/find attractive in male sex symbols. My grandmother found Clark Gable gorgeous but I thought him ugly as sin. I have heard many times the Kennedy brothers and David Windsor aka King Edward VIII described as very handsome but I also find them as ugly as sin. Chris and Liam Hemsworth, however, now they’re gorgeous! 😁
After I heard what he did to Loretta Young, Clark Gabel makes me sick. I really cannot stand him, and refuse to watch anything with him in it. And that was simply one of many things he got away with and others suffered for.
What a jerk, and then there was that whole thing about being to old for WWll but volunteering, going to Europe and flying combat missions with young men half his age, again what a jerk.
Probably the voyeurs running Y T. They get paid to monitor comments and censor words that hurt their feelings. They got true crime channels using woke terms like "un-alived" instead of the actual word m u r d e r. One has to use code just to communicate in comment sections. I know a lot of channel creators whom have moved to Rumble. It's getting ridiculous.
🤫 I am not disagreeing with you. But you still must be very careful about what you say here, due to CZcams censorship. You only received two ✌ warnings ,then CZcams will block you...................
🤔 Maybe so, but he was also a man 👨 - a mere mortal like the rest of us males !. I would like to say more, but with CZcams censorship, it would be pointless.....
. . Please get to the point ... too much repeating the obvious .. we all know he was a titan in the industry .. get to the drunk driving fatal hit and run ...the publicity 'spin doctors' did their job.. ..
It must be nice having a defensive line that protects you when you're a First Call Actor. Clarkie was dicking down every moist hole within twenty feet 😂 Five Divorces? Sounds like a high value guy to the Manosphere cult 😅

Clark Gable was very progressive with Civil Rights. He hated racism and made sure blacks were treated fairly on his sets..
My Grandmother was a waitress all her life and waited on him once. She told me that he was the most handsome man she ever saw..

I watch Gone With the Wind every Thanksgiving. I never get tired of Clark Gable and Vivien Leigh.
Well seems as if nothing has changed in Hollywood and actually as gotten worse!!! Screw Hollywood lol
Hollywood isn't different from any other industry, it just gets more attention. Most industries are equally bad, regardless of their status or wealth.

A lot of big Hollywood stars of the past were very sexually active with a lot of partners like they are still today.

So what if he did run over a woman while drunk? Drunken women shouldn't be allowed to wander about on the road anyway.
I heard his hands were the size of montrous gargarles. It would give you nigthmares.
Apparently it was Judy's future husband who told her who her father was. Things do get lost in translation when passed from one to another.

A child is never 'Illegal' Just biggoted times
Supposedly Joan Crawford and Clark Gable had a relationship that went on and off for about 30 years!
Not surprising -- Both had loose morals.

Loved him, dont care what he did, I'm watching this video with a smile on my face. My dogs are named gable and butler after him 😁
Thanks AOV❤
I've learned it's a circa 3 minute merry-go-round, over and over.
My favorite actor
So after 16:29 of letting us know all about all of Gables affairs. How did studio fixers HIDE ALL of Clark Gables SINS???
I read somewhere that Carole Lombard said her husband, Clarke, might’ve been the “king” of hollywood but 1/2 inch less and he would’ve been the Queen.
The Raaain in Spaaaain.
Bet we don't see him in heaven!
No one knows if he went to heaven or not
Yes!

Did realize old Clark had so many sins....😮
He was an affectionate person.
He was (what would be
called nowadays) Sex
addiction -- Like Bill
Clinton.

It takes two to tango.

Who did his teeth? Who were his male sex partners?
What a jerk, and then there was that whole thing about being to old for WWll but volunteering, going to Europe and flying combat missions with young men half his age, again what a jerk.
where us my comment? Afraid to print I think he was a jerk? I am not, and I'll try again. He was a disgusting drunk
