Clark Gable: A Short Bio
William Clark Gable {who’s} popularly referred to as Clark Gable was born on February 1, 1901 in a smaller town known as Cadiz in Ohio. Clark Gable was also recognized by nicknames such “Gabe” and “The King”. Clark Gable had five marriages. {The very first} two ended in divorce with Josephine Dillon and Ria Langham respectively. The third marriage took {location} with Carole Lombard but that too was short lived as she died following {3} years of marriage. Clark Gable married Sylvia Ashley {almost} 7 years right after the death of his third wife. But that too ended {inside} {three} years of marriage. His last wife survived Clark Gable when he died of a heart attack on November 16, 1960.
Clark Gable’s had a miserly childhood. He was only seven months old when his mother passed away. He quit his school at the age of 16 and began working in a tire factory in Akron, Ohio. Still his tough days {had been} not over. He worked in stock providers, oil fields and sold ties. It was following watching the play The Bird of Paradise that he wanted to be an actor. Within the year 1924 Clark Gable was able to reach Hollywood somehow with the support of Josephine Dillon who was a theater manager of Portland, Oregon who also coached him on acting. Josephine Dillon who later on became his 1st wife who was twelve years senior to him played an necessary role in helping Clerk Gable enter Hollywood.
Lionel Barrymore the renowned actor along with the director advised Gable to MGM’s Irving Thalberg that he be screen tested. Right after the screening Irving Thalberg was not impressed {especially} with his looks. But the studio {ultimately} hired him following numerous screen tests in 1930. He worked as a co-actor with Joan Crawford in 1931 film Dance, Fools, Dance. Public liked his on screen chemistry with Jean Harlow in Red Dust in 1932 which took to {leading} of the popularity chart. There was a spat between Gable and MGM as refused to do assignment for which he was heavily punished by loaning him out to low rent paying Columbia {Photos}. Once more his destiny wanted him to be a star, working with Columbia {Photos} in Frank Capra’s “It happened {1} Night” Gabel won an Oscar which was {among the} ideal romantic comedies to be ever produced.
He was known as back by MGM with far extra intense roles in movies like “Mutiny on the Bounty” in 1935 and “Gone with the Wind” in 1939 for which he was nominated to Oscar for ideal actor role. Gable left Hollywood for {3} years right after his third wife Carole Lombard died in a plane crash {together with} her mother. He joined Army Corps and served Europe throughout World War II. He starred in “Adventure” in 1945, which was {extremely} promoted, as his comeback movie. But the film had a lukewarm response. MGM thought that Gable’s salary is too high and {therefore} did not renew his contract with the studio. He starred in a lot of unnoticeable films there on in the course of 1940′s and 1950′s. In the course of the filing of his last movie “Misfits” in 1961 he announced that he is going to turn into a father. But to his misfortune he passed away without having seeing his son. Clark Gable was laid to rest inside the shrine he built for his third wife Carole Lambord and her mother in their memory. He may well be gone but to us he remains a legend even to this day and forever.

Gone With the Wind [VHS] $1.49 David O. Selznick wanted Gone with the Wind to be somehow more than a movie, a film that would broaden the very idea of what a film could be and do and look like. In many respects he got what he worked so hard to achieve in this 1939 epic (and all-time box-office champ in terms of tickets sold), and in some respects he fell far short of the goal. While the first half of this Civil War drama is tau… |

It Happened One Night [VHS] $3.55 Director Frank Capra (Mr. Smith Goes to Washington) took home every Oscar in the book (well, okay, all the major ones) for this seminal 1934 comedy starring Clark Gable as a hard-bitten reporter who stays close to a runaway heiress (Claudette Colbert) rather than lose a good story. Funny and sexy, the film is full of memorable scenes often referred to in other films, such as the “walls of Jericho”… |
