Personally, and I'm sure people will agree, Gone With The Wind is The Greatest Movie Of All Time.
noooooo
@@profhortsunlover1536 It's not My Favorite, but, A 3 1/2 hour flick that keeps Your Attention, has to be The Greatest Movie Of All Time.
Never seen it.
@@julesroberts962 You've got to see it. A Great Movie.
Certainly not. An overblown costume drama based on a half-baked book. Get real and check out some critics choices for ACTUAL good movies.
Clark Gable is one of my favorite all time favorite actors❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ he was awesome, so handsome and NO ONE else could ever have played Rhett Butler!!!!!! GWTW is my all time favorite movie❤❤❤
Agree, gone with the wind is in that time especially,the best movie ever made!!!!!! Love it still, have watched it so many times
My late father was an unofficial skeet shooting coach for Carole Lombard and knew the couple on the terms of the sporting event and practices. Said Carole was very quick, funny and pleasant to be with and to coach. Said Clark Gable was nice.
wow, so lucky.
I’d like to talk to you. I’m a fan.
I’m a big fan of them both. She was so young when she died. I have a Facebook page dedicated to her. She’s a hero. I don’t want her forgotten. She’s known for the screwball comedies. See her in her serious roles. She’s very different. A real actress.
My late mother must’ve been about the same age or a bit younger than your late father.
😮😮😊😊
I was honored to know Clark Gables daughter Judi Lewis. She looked so much like him and she never knew her father but came to know him through his work.
Amazing how ordinary and plain his daughter looked considering how beautiful her mother was and how handsome her father was.
@@vesnahill444 amazing how people think to be entitled to judge other people and give total strangers their unsolicited aesthetic opinions.
@@vesnahill444 Are you freaking joking love? For starters, she's a goer, fantastic looking. Secondly, shut up with your shameful words. She looks exactly like him. YOu need glasses and an endless bottle of glue to sniff. Go away.
Multumesc !
…..cat tumult…. cat oameni simplii in multe vieti…. Da . Puternici emotional , insa pana intr un punct …!
Gand pios spre Stele !
Ne au daruit atat de mult !
that is so sad
Carole Lombarde was long before my time but that hasn't stopped me from the sadness I feel over her far-too-soon passing - stunningly beautiful AND natural comedic talent isn't something that occurs often !. My favourite film of hers was 'My Man Godfrey' - pairing her with William Powell was a pure master-class in the art of casting !
I do so love that movie! I have since I was a girl! ♥️
Love that movie ❤
The first movie I picked up in the library to watch when my English became good. I bought her treasure collection. From My man Godfrey movie I got interested in Great Depression.
I am saden too for Gable for sure
Losing someone you love in an accident is brutel
@@elizabethalexander6528 yes, he really loved her!
Carole had those amazing sea eyes so crystal clear.
I still love Gone with the Wind, I read the book first as a teenager and was in fear of ever watching the film, but it blew me away !
Our movie theater sometimes plays older movies and they were showing Gone With the Wind on the big screen and you bet your bottom I went and watched it!
Pun intended? 😂
Always hated him.
My father when he was young boasted he looked liked him, I detested looking at him.
Including the gallivanting, depending on womaen, cowardly attitude... 🤮
My favorite m0vie
I have seen it hundreds of times. I even called my only daughter Scarlett. We live in different states now but will get together and watch it ad a Mother / Daughter thing.
@@LathropLdST yes ppl forget he was an alcoholic rapist
Carole Lombard is a classic beauty with something different than the other stars of her time. I also think Gene Tierney was also a hauntingly beautiful woman of her time. These stars back in the 40's and 50's knew how to be actors. Today, it's all special effects that gets you to watch the film. I love classic movies and watch them a lot. Thank goodness for TCM. They just had 31 days of Oscar movies.
What about Myrna Loy? Ìmo the most beautiful of the iime
@@robertfrederick8590 She was actually voted Queen of Hollywood in the same poll that crowned Gable King.
I think Hedy Lamar was gorgeous
yes and smart as well.@@dianemcnamara3815
a beauty yes, but there were a lot of beautiful women during those eras@@robertfrederick8590
Several years ago I was chatting with a friend of my parents. He mentioned having been in the military with Clark Gable (I was like “whaaaa?”). He said he was very intelligent and respected by the other men and a natural leader. They were disappointed that he didn’t become an officer.
Not a scandalous or exciting story, but I still thought it was cool:-)
My step grandfather was in the military with Elvis, they never met and weren't close by any means as far as I know but he saw him a few times
@@iTsEfFiNsTePhh My husbands dad was also in the military with Elvis. He told us stories that he would always have a guitar in hand and ready to sing when there was time. He said Elvis seemed to be such a great guy. Awww!
Actually, Gable became a Major, and left the service with that rank
@@davegreene8588 Thank you, yes. I meant to write that they were disappointed that he didn’t stay in the military. I heard this story awhile ago, so probably got some details wrong.
It also rings true unlike the gossip of lies.
Tragic...they blame the war for her death but it really sounds like pilot error and taking a flight to rush home because she didn't trust Gable. That's the saddest part of what retrospectively Hollywood lauds as a great love story....
Yeah
. He date raped Lorretta Young.
She was told by numerous people not to take that plane. They explained the conditions were unsafe. She and Gable had argued on the phone about his infidelity. She felt bad and wanted to fly out to kiss and make up with him on the movie set. She had EVERY reason not to trust Clark. He had affairs with nearly every one of his leading ladies.
I remember watching It Happened One Night and thought it was the best movie I've ever seen! Have always favored the movies of the past more so than of the present. Bravo to our greatest movie stars. You've left an indelible mark in our memories!
You are right about "It Happened One Night."
Love that movie! Have both of the DVDs
My mother loved carole..
And named me after her.
Im 83 and my name is Carole
Carole Lombard was quite intelligent and beautiful.
I'm a HUGE 1930'S, Clark Gable fan. He died the year I was born, but I feel a connection with the Old man even 62 year's later.
I was born just under a year before he died. Never thought him the type I'd be attracted to as a woman, but have a real affection for him that's endured. I love the film he made with Sophia Loren in Capri - it's so charming; his humour and twinkle are warm and endearing. But after what he'd experienced, there was a tiredness in his eyes. I think the loss of his lovely Carole and the war made him a different man. Not a great way to "grow up" undergoing so much misery. Success, wealth, global applause are nothing compared to a loving home life, personal happiness and peace of mind.
What a touching tale. To see the pain and suffering that Alma went through both before and after her surgery is so heart rendering. The dedication and thoroughness displayed by the clinic staff and the veterinarian are exemplary. As the story of the rehabilitation plays out it is amazing to see Alma become a normal dog with confidence and playfulness as she deserved. Great work and God bless you all. ❤
Priceless ! Two very special people and quite a story .Always remembered .❤
Lombard was so beautiful. A seriously gorgeous woman inside & out.
She was but stood no chance against our gorgeous Vivien Leigh
@@lawrencesait3432why say that? Has nothing to do with Carole. It wasn’t a beauty contest! Sheez
Clark and carol were made for each other. Beautiful couple with talent.
he's into men
@@profhortsunlover1536where in God's name would you get an idea like that please
OOOH I was so excited when this popped up! I work in the historic West Central neighborhood in Fort Wayne, IN where Lombard is from and am good friends with the owner of the Peters mansion where her father was raised and was shown her fathers initials carved in the basement wall. Shes a Fort Wayne ICON :)
Clark Gable is old enough to be my great grandfather but he will forever be my crush. He was the perfect man
Loved William Powell's work.
My parents were married 53 years when my mom passed away in 2011. This past February would have been their 64th Anniversary, was my dad still kind of celebrates. It wasn’t always perfect but they made it work.

I loved what Olivia Harrison, George's wife said. Not so hard to stay married, just don't file for divorce 🎉😂😂🎉😂😂🎉
Don’t Get divorced.
George was a known cheater. Olivia knew and kept her dignity.
@@elizabethmcleod246 TRUE Pattie Boyd George's first wife wrote a great book called Muse. It's a great read she was with George from 64 to the mid-70s and she married Eric Clapton
Agree fully loved the movie watched it many times
This is the tragic & heartbreaking story of a great love.
Clark Gable commited adultery a lot, even when he was married to Carole Lombard.
My mom born in the 30's was in love with Clark Gable. Being born in the 60's I didn't get it. Then I saw his early movies leading up to Gone With the Wind, now I know why.
he seems like a flaming lgbt to me, repressed guys like that generally despise women, humiliate them, use, abuse them
Thank you! Always adored both iconic actors but this answered many questions I've had ever since I was a little girl. Very well done documentary!
They were at one time considered to be the King and Queen of Hollywood. Sadly, Carole Lombard's life came to an untimely end.
Gable will always be the King of Hollywood.
When Gable was voted King of Hollywood by a fan magazine...the Queen was actually Myrna Loy.
I finished her biography Fireball" last year. It was an excellent book.
Love this, wish you would do more of these biographies of the stars loved to gone with the wind!!!
clark gable was a great guy and a heckuva actor. carole lombard was his perfect match. i so wish they could've grown old together.
One of the first, if not the first, power couple of Hollywood
Douglas Fairbanks-Mary Pickford.
@@sharksport01 Yes, the real king of Hollywood ❤
Fairbanks and Pickford easily eclipsed them, if you study Hollywood history
Beautiful story. Together for eternity
They say that she said Russ was the love of her life, but it had to be Gable. He had to have deeply on love with her. Her death killed a big part of him. I’ve read accounts by his friends. This man changed! He even objected to certain things being in the scripts of the films he was in. You can see that the zip he had in his personality never came back.
Clark was absolutely crushed by her death because he was unapologetically having an affair with Lana Turner on the set of "Somewhere I'll Find You." Carole knew it, was deeply hurt, and was desperate to save the marriage. Every day, the Hollywood gossips were printing stories about the affair. The two had a huge fight over the phone. She went on the bond drive in order to fly west to California and meet up with Clark on the set of the film.. He was incapable of fidelity and slept with most of his leading ladies, (except Vivien Leigh who disliked him intensely due to his bad oral hygiene). He carried a load of guilt over Carole's death the rest of his life. He realized that he had hurt the one person in the world who had truly loved him , and he never had the opportunity to apologize. He had taken her for granted. He changed completely, joined the war effort, but was a broken man the rest of his life.
@@eileenhetherington3704 yes. I’ve read all about this…sad..m a fan of both…
Very sad... a womanizer can hurt the wife.@@eileenhetherington3704
Yer, guilt & regret will do that...
@@eileenhetherington3704And the “love child” with Loretta Young was from being raped by Gable. No wonder Young kept their daughter away from him. Great talents but tragically very human.
I had no idea Robert Blake passed away on March 9, just days before we watched "Stagecoach to Denver" on Triple-C.
Oh, WOW. I don't recall Clark Gable without his signature moustache.
I didn't recognize him at first.
There's really no evidence but hollow rumor that he slept with Lana Turner. Turner herself, having admitted to a lot of scandalous behavior, denied the story vehemently in her autobiography. But Carole was terribly insecure by the end of her life in her efforts to conceive, with her getting older, and with Lana being so young, only 21.
Nonsense. Clark Gable slept with anything that moved, women and men. He was a male prostitute, that's how he got his start in the business, sleeping his way up. Lana denied it because she did not want to look evil in the eyes of the public. EVERYONE KNEW. The war bond trip Carole was on was supposed to be her husband's project, but he talked her into so he could have more sex with Lana. This is why his guilt was so crushing. He sent her to her death while having an affair. He never recovered. Carole wasn't insecure. She just gradually found out what kind of lowlife she had married. She would have left him eventually.
@@eileenhetherington3704. True and what makes it more interesting, so did more than a few FEMALE stars. Joan Crawford, Lana were both known for sleeping with their leading men.
@eileen, Clark was Repub, Carole a big FDR LOVING democrat. This is why he was not interested in going on War Bond tour. They had evidently argued about it before. He felt guilty naturally. Gable could have any gal he wanted, that was hard on Carole cuz she knew he could not say no.
@@MTknitter22 ummmm...So? The war was certainly not about Repubs vs. Dems, what has that got to do with anything? He joined the war shortly after her death, or hadn't you heard? His guilt was so crushing that he became a super patriot in order to atone for his self-centered lifestyle. They had quarreled on the phone the day before her death about his infidelity, particularly with Lana. Carole got on that plane which was final destination California, so she could kiss and make up with Gable on his movie set. He knew it and never got over it. He felt responsible for her death, and in a way, he was.
@@eileenhetherington3704
True.
It is unsettling how strong an influence the Mainstream News Media has on the larger % of the Public, with the idea that all are either Far R, Far L, and nothing meets in the middle, and that seems to be where folks place their value, on the Party, rather than the Country, the People, it is an influence that is so not positive for the Country, the Public, the Toxic Thinking and it is overwhelmingly "Manipulation for Profits"
Not 10% of the Public could accurately define: Totalitarian, Authoritarian, Socialism, Communism, Moderate, Liberal, Conservative, or Democracy. They haven't a clue how a Bill becomes a Law, what Lobbying incurs, nor do they know the Federal Reserve Bank Corporation is a Privately Owned Corporation, that the CIA and IRS are neither under the Government.
... I could write a book, but those whom need to know the facts wouldn't realize they're misinformed, nor would they admit they have been literally brainwashed by the Media.
One 9f my degrees is in Journalism, and I turned off News Media in 2012. I use Journalist Sources to look up any subject that I desire more accurate information on, largely foreign resources, as they give the fundamental facts.
I expect the News Media will be realizing a greater call to responsibility, the 24hr Cable News is obvious in their game, the Fox Right Wingers, CNN Left, and the "Produced ideas, overstating, editing, half truths, all to serve their baiting for viewers, all for Power and Profits.
Information is a Powerful tool. Powerful

I read her life story. They both wanted children. I don't remember if she had miscarriages or just couldn't get pregnant. I think that's why they called each other Ma and Pa.
She couldn't get pregnant
@@trawlins396
That’s sad for them, especially as much as they lived each other 😔😞😢
@Maria Mastee
I’m an Old Hollywood Biography Junkie 🥴🤩😁!!!
I read ‘Gable & Lombard’ my senior year of high school and it’s by far my favorite biography 😊🥰😃👍
She did have one or two miscarriages, and even had corrective surgery to help her chances of carrying to term. She desperately wanted a child with Gable, and was committed to giving up acting (at least for a while) to be a mom.
She was 40 years old when they married
Yes I never thought she was such a Beauty. I'm thinking she must have been very striking in person though. The way people talk about her she had to be.
I doubt that Gable would cheat on the love of his life. Notice how the light went out in his eyes after she died so tragically.
He did though, and he felt GUILTY thereafter
He did apparently because he couldn't, and wouldn't, rationalise his desires, they were his, and he made no effort to rein it in.
@@MTknitter22just wondering how exactly is it you know he cheated on the love of his life?
I learned a lot of things that I hadn't known about both of them. It was a surprise to learn that he had a daughter out of wedlock with Loretta Young. Interesting story.
They make it sound like it was a love affair, but Loretta Young stated in an interview before she died that it had not been consensual and he'd date r*ped her. She was only 23 at the time. I'm sure that was why she didn't allow him to have contact with her or the child.
Fascinating. I learned a lot of things I never knew.
Had a friend named Flo Mills. She was a old school sign painter. She told me that she had once done some pinstriping and hand painted name on the door of a pick-up truck that Clark Cable had bought for Carole Lombard. I wonder if it was the truck at about 37:10 point of this video. Flo Mills AKA Annie Green Springs
Vă mulțumesc frumos pentru acest reportaj atăt de înteresant ❤
Aw I enjoyed that, what a good life he had. I absolutely loved The St Trinian films ❤
Just before my father died he told me Carol Lombard was a cousin of his. I had no idea.
She was too good for him. When you have to worry about other women...
And that’s why she decided to take the plane. He was messing with a co-star of a film he was making. She was in a rush to get back to hopefully hang onto him.
She deserved him because she was messing with gable when he was married to someone else and didn’t care about his wife feelings.
How do you know all?
@@coolfinetimethank you exactly how do they know all
Thanks for getting it 👍 excellent producing.😊💯🇨🇦📽️
How they keep mentioning he married older women. In the end he married someone 30 years or so his junior and no one batted an eyeball, but god forbid the woman be older. Sounds like he was just using every woman in his life except Carol.
Nah. He used her too. Cheated on her. He found out too late he really had loved her.
These women used him they spent their money on him because they wanted to marry the Great Clark Gable so who was using who!!!!!
Gone with the Wind, by far, is the greatest movie of all time.I have seen all of Clark's movies.He and Robert Taylor were friends and the biggest of movie stars before Elvis who became the highest paid movie star if his time.Elvis movies saved a studio from bankruptcy.His films bankrolled the kind of movies he wanted to act it.His movies bankrolled Cleopatra
We do not have movie stars and heroes any longer like Robert, Clark and Elvis, whom all three served their country in the mulitary.Elbis gave uo two years if his big career and was in reconnaisance during the volitaile, dangerous Cold War.These men, plus others sych as Robert Montgomery and Jimmy Stewart and brave women such as Hedy Lamar and Marlene Detrich and Carole Lombard were all American heroes.I hope theur sacrifices are never firgotten.Long may they live in peace in their passing.
Classic case of you don't know who you had until they're gone! ❤

This was well done - Nice to see documentary style, fair to those presented, but sans lily-gilding. Bravo, Bertie.
Legends
Gable like a couple other very big male stars. The first wife much older, with money, groomed him to BE Clark Gable. These women showed them how to dress, maneuver amongst the wealthy and those who would help them rise in the business. Josephine purchased herself a handsome escort. Naturally there was an eventual divorce. Without Josephine’s money and influence, Clark would never have been a Hollywood star probably. It worked so well for Clark that he soon found another wealthy matron to use in Rhea Langham.
Everything is blamed on Clark Gable these women who married him and helped him become a star made their own choice to do that they chose to live that way and help him so why does he get blamed for everything hey you know you choose your bed then you have to lay in it these women made their own choices they knew exactly what they were getting into they wanted to be with him obviously
Elas tiveram a sorte de ter Clark. Quantas mulheres não se casam com homens poderosos e depois seguem sem eles. A lista é grande. É a vida em seu trajeto normal para quem faz essa escolha
Great story thanks for sharing this and the video
Great story.
This is pretty good,glad l came on it.
This is a beautiful love story ❤❤❤
What a tragic end … it mekes me cry…
How handsome was Clark Gable 🥰
I never thought so.
so sad and devastating , Carole is irreplaceable and the reason I decided to join the Baha'i faith 🙏
I love the movie gone with wind❤❤
My favorite Clark Gable film is the one he made with Claudette Cobert: It Happened One Night. It swept the Oscars.
Este canal es maravilloso; me encantan las películas de antaño. Gracias gracias y cordiales saludos desde el sur del mundo.
Love this ❤
It’s sad when you lose someone you love so much.
But he was sleeping with his leading ladies , disregarding his wife’s feelings …..that’s why she was on the plane in the first place …..to catch him out
I like her 1st husband William Powell, he had that Stinker-Sparkle in his eye. (They played together in: "My Man Godfrey") Excellent Movie
William Powell is my favorite male actor of the 20th Century, then there's Tyrone Power and Cary Grant.
Carole Lombard, Irene Dunne, and Barbara Stanwick are my favorite female Actors.
Carole Lombard ... those eyes, truly ice blue.
My Mom really had the look of Carole Lombard and young Betty Davis. Everyone told Mom she looked like Berty Davis, and she didn't like it, Betty played some strong roles, for some, it's hard not to associate them with her.
Lombard! Helen, did you hear that? Lombard! If you'll bring the snacks, I'll bring the ☕😎

Clark was fooling around with a co-star. Carole was aware of it and wanted to get home fast as possible from that war bond trip. Instead of taking a train home as planned, she had some soldiers booted off that doomed flight so she could fly back. She dragged along the others including her mother who all also died in the crash. All thanks to Clark not being able to keep his pants zipped.
Because gable couldn’t keep it in his pants didn’t give Carole the right to act like a desperate woman wanting to keep her man that she abused her celebrity and got soldiers fighting for and risking their lives for their country to get booted off( and she was a phony acting like she supported the soldiers and gets them kicked off their flight to get to her cheating husband)and dragging her poor mother along. The background of their relationship was gable was cheating on his previous wife with Carole so she knew what she was getting into, but of course he wouldn’t do that to her until he did. If you want to blame anyone blame Carole.
You have absolutely no proof that he was really having an affair. It was supposed to be with Lana Turner and they both denied it. Stop spreading rumors.
Carol was paranoid.
@@tracymorgan5386 I can't stand people who spread lies!
@@tracymorgan5386 I mean she did end up saving those soldiers' lives if you think about it so I'm sure they were more than happy they ended up being booted off the flight.
Loretta Young has written about what happened to her. She was married and was not interested in an affair. It was a one time event--against her will. Please, those of you who would put some stranger on a pedestal -- however talented -- someone who lived a century ago -- you don't know these people. Many of their stories are tragedies, and who the human beings were behind the curtain were obscured by a controlling studio and armies of workers toiling to maintain an illusion. Most people didn't stand a chance.
Loretta Young claimed to her daughter in-law from watching Larry King that it was date rape accused Clark Fable, but starred in two movies with him after she went to extreme lengths to cover up the pregnancy, went away, had her child, left it with nuns went back a year later and adopted her own child and never told her she was her biological mother, she found out Gable was her father the night before her wedding from her fiancee, everyone in Hollywood knew.
I don't believe he was cheating on Carol or that she was that insecure, I believe they were in love and at a time they were both comfortable in their own skin. Clark never gave an interview during his entire career, only a blurb in a celebrity magazine, the studio kept him away from that at an early age and he was one of the last Stars under contract still, the guard said the day he died so did the studio. I don't think either of them were married during courtship bcuz they married quickly, plus they had met before and yes at that time were both married to William Powell and Clark's first two marriages were to enhance his career, they were older, had money, first one, taught him how to dress, he had speech therapy bcuz of a lisp or stutter and his teeth done. So given the fact he was extremely private I doubt anyone can confirm he was cheating on Carol. Yes, Lana was flirting with him and it got back to Carol, I believe she went to the studio and addressed her to her face and that was the end of it.
Carol didn't have the time to do a biography and Clark didn't either
Loretta was not married when she got pregnant at 22 from Clark that's wrong..
@@drewbaby2020 o
So now Clark Gable raped Loretta Young cuz you say against her will in the same comment that you claim to know this you tell others how would they know anyting right? PS Loretta Young did another movie with Clark many years later do you really think she would have agreed to that if he had raped her?
@drewbaby2020 Nonsense. They had a volatile relationship with numerous fights about his infidelities. He WAS sleeping with Lana. She knew this from friends. She died because she had had a terrible argument with him and went on the bond tour SPECIFICALLY because the end stop was close enough to his movie set that she could take a car there to make up with him. The weather was bad and her mother and others begged her not to take the plane. Gable knew she had taken the trip to see him and he was overwhelmed by guilt, joined the war, but was a broken man to the end of his days. Yes, he truly loved her but he found out too late.
I love the quotation Lombard supposedly summed up Gable with: "I'm nuts about him, not his nuts."
I didn’t know Loretta Young had a baby out of wedlock with Clark Gable! They were my mother’s generation of movie stars. I was aware of orphanages though. They still had those when I was a little girl.
They STILL have orphanages.
I agree. There are orphanages all over the world.
I read later on that she said Clark raped her and she was so embarrassed to have gotten pregnant. The daughter looks so much like Clark too, she has passed away now but I looked her photo up.
In 1998 Linda Lewis, Loretta Young’s daughter in law said while watching an episode of Larry King, the subject of date rape came up. Loretta told Linda that’s what happened to her with Clark Gable.
@@auldreekie7768 I have never believed her story. He was handsome and charming and she fell for him like any woman would although she couldn't admit it to her daughter.
They were hilarious together 😊
I always thought Clark Gale was one of the sexiest men in Hollywood! I still do!
It's an old story that's been told better by others. No new photos or information and this version has less details.
But the pinch faced girl talking about Lombard was fun to watch.
I suppose Gable felt guilty when he knew the reason she took that plane was because she didn’t trust him in the arms of the beautiful Lana Turner who she thought would try to seduce Gable. She knew his history and weakness with women. It is tragic because she should not have allowed her fear to overcome her, and she should’ve gone on that train and called him every day.
The reason they gave is a perfect example of "Commentary" ie: Opinion.
Not "1" individual, other than Carole Lombard, knew her mind. She was tired and after being out on the road, and anxious to get home. (This I know from experience, I travel nationally with my job.)
@@bethbartlett5692thank you for saying that Carol is the only one that knows what Carol was thinking or feeling everyone just seems to know everything about them and it must be all facts where the hell did they get these facts from that's what I want to know unbelievable isn't it? Even claim to know they had a phone call argument what?!
Wonderful video. Revealed a lot of good solid inside baseball stuff.
Also appreciated the warning of too many women = heart problems. (And not just the romantic kind.)
Now the nitpicking: The man's name is pronounced "may-or" like the leader of a city,
not "my-er" like the law firm Jacoby and Myers.
I never knew much about Clark Gable and wondered why he had so many relationships. It turns out that his mother died when he was 10 months old. His father remarried and his stepmother seemed to refine him but I think he was traumatized from the loss of an important female figure. 😢
You dont need to look for a trauma in every womanizer 😃 he was very small when his father remarried and his stepmother raised him as her own son.
Crazy how people find a way to excuse men who is whoring around but they will cond2mn woman for life at the same time
@@0912sooli No excuses. I've always wondered why actors seem to be so promiscuous - namely Elizabeth Taylor, Marilyn Monroe and many many others. I also realize that it's not just actors. I feel sad about it and am looking for a way to understand.
@@0912sooli It was just the opposite with Diana, Princess of Wales who cheated on her husband with at least 10 different men and was idolized almost as a saint while he was demonized for going back to Camilla after he learned of Diana's cheating.

I really don’t think anyone will ever understand what makes people do this🤷♀️ I honestly don’t 🥺😕
Best movie for me. Read the book in three days and loved it. I just loved Clark Gable and the rest of the cast. The only thing I didn’t like was how Hattie McDaniels was treated after the movie was made. The man who played Ashley, Leslie Howard, was shot down during the war. The Germans were after him, he was a target for a long time, and they got lucky.
There is literally nothing more gorgeous than NOIR film and stills
I have been to Crescent Lake were the couple holed up. I was named after Clark Gable, as was Clark Kent.
The story about Judy. Loretta and Clark's daughter is completely wrong. Judy was about 15 and Gable and Young made a second movie together. She met Gable because Gable asked to mert her. They had about a 45 minute private chat and that was all. Judy didn't know Gable was her father till she was about to get married. She confronted her mother who was so upset she had to stay in the bathroom and vomit. This story is from Judy Lewis.
Considering her attitude towards becoming pregnant, I wonder if she was trying to somehow mitigate her guilty feelings about the whole thing and make herself look innocent. It’s easy to point a finger at someone who has died and can’t defend themselves. After all, who tells their child, “You were my sin!”??
@@lynek2126 children are not sins, ur disgusting
Judy Lewis handled the pain of never being acknowledged by her father and her mother lying to her very very nicely. She was the only victim in this and it’s sad that people forget that. Just because we like Gable & Loretta doesn’t mean they did right by Judy. Gable should have acknowledged her.
Rhea was wife #2 - he was basically a kept man, we should be honest. Again HER money, education about etiquette, dress and high society is what greatly kept his career trajectory going. I think Clark realized early it was money and connections that he needed.
@lynek2126 Do some actual research. Loretta told numerous friends that Gable date-raped her, but she was a devout Christian and so blamed herself. She was EXTREMELY traumatized as she was a virgin. The studio had her go into seclusion and then pretend to put Judy up for adoption, then a few years later, the public was told that Loretta had adopted a child (her own daughter). This is a very well-known fact.
I do agree Gone with the Wind the best movie ❤
Carole, so funny - yet with a curious understanding.
Gorgeous and talented humans!
bwahahaha- the narrator called Louis Mayer “louie meyer”
I have read, that Clark went to side of the plane crash...and has found Carol´s earring :(
He never went up there. He wanted to but agent and others successfully prevented it. It was a grisly scene.
@@MTknitter22there is film footage of him at the scene
Good video 🎉
Pilots couldn't be older than 26 I think it was, over that age and the pilot blacked out in a lengthy dive, which wasn't that unusual for younger guys, but the younger guys pulled out of it earlier. You could hold other roles, though ..
Wow, leaves me speeches. The measure of a man...integrity, loyalty, faithfulness. I guess not in this case. Very sad. Tragic in fact.
Oh my gosh, didn't anybody give that lady a comb ??
Thank you!! It was driving me crazy!!
He had to feel responsible to some degree, because hia reputation waa the reason she was on the flight to begin with.
His affair with Loretta Young in 1935 while married to another woman ,produced a child. Never acknowledged by him and only later in life with Miss Young. His marriage to Lombard was a real loss to him. Late in life he would marry again and as fate would have ir, became a father AFTER HIS DEATH. Pretty sad life.
That was no affair. He raped her on the set of a movie. She was only 17 and a virgin. She was a devout Catholic who wouldn't consider abortion. He never paid support, never acknowledged the child.
His friends have confirmed many times he had found real love and peace with his last wife Kay. She was evidently a wonderful lady and they were very happy.
@MTknitter22 No. He continually told his closest friends for the rest of his life that he never got over Carole. It destroyed him. Look at photos of him before and after her death. He aged 10 years.
Louie B Mayer was David O Selznick's father-in-law as he was married to Mayer's daughter. Mayer wasn't Selznick's stepfather as this documentary states.
The love of his life - but he still slept around? Yep. The cavalier attitude of Hollywood stars towards their spouses and wedding vows speaks to the shallow existences they actually had and probably not much has changed.
