There are 3 things that happened to Clark Gable that make me sad. -The death of the love of his life, his wife Carole Lombard in that fiery plane crash. It was a commercial flight TWA with around 22 people on board including Carole’s mother and Carole’s agent (I think). Carole was headed home after traveling around the country selling war bonds. There was a beacon light on top of the mountain to alert pilots to its height. They had turned it off because of the war. They didn’t want any enemy Japanese planes to benefit from it. The plane just flew into the side of the mountain and exploded. The bodies were burned beyond recognition. They IDed Carole by the earrings she was wearing that Clark had given her. The terrain was so rugged that they could only drive to a certain point. They had to hike the rest of the way and use mules to bring the bodies down. Large parts of the wreckage are still there. I guess they’re to big and heavy to bring down from an area where vehicles can’t go. Clark waited for them to bring her remains for 2 days in a bar in a little town that was closest to the crash site. He sat at the bar drinking and smoking cigars. There are cigar burn marks on the bar from where he fell asleep while smoking the cigar. -He and Loretta Young had a daughter together but it had to be kept quiet because Clark was married to someone else at the time and Loretta wasn’t married. Back in the day the studio could fire and blackball you for having sex outside of marriage or for cheating on your spouse. Long story. Not going into it. -He loved kids but never really had any. He couldn’t claim his daughter with Loretta. His last wife was pregnant with his son when he died so he had a son but they never met.
Gable was particularly upset because at the time of the crash he was having a fling with new star Lana Turner, 13 years younger than Carole. Please, don't anyone ask me, in all innocence, how do you know... were you there? Okay, unless a lot of people were lying, yes, Gable and Turner began having sex during the filming of "Somewhere I'll Find You." Carole even had someone spy on them, so it is likely she knew about it, and also likely Gable knew Carole knew. Gable was a taker and an opportunist with two marriages under his belt before Carole, both to older, plain women who had the money to support Gable pre-stardom. Regarding Miss Young, or, as Judy Garland called her, Saint Loretta, it is possible- even probable- that she was knocked up twice by Gable. The first time was during "The Call of the Wild" (1935) and the second time, "Key to the City" (1950) after which she mysteriously went MIA for a while, but DIDN'T come back with a baby from an orphanage.
@@akrenwinkle - I didn’t know about the affair with Lana Turner. It doesn’t surprise me though. Clark seemed to be in the habit of spending time with women he wasn’t married to whether he and/or the woman was married to someone else at the time or not. Someone (man or woman) who is used to variety often continues with the variety on the side even after they get together with “the love of their life”. The justification can be that they don’t love anyone other than ______ (love of their life). They don’t love the ones on the side. With them it’s just physical nothing more. I did know about his first 2 marriages to women who were older than he was and who had money so they were able to help give his career a push. I knew about the baby he fathered with Loretta Young during The Call of the Wild. I didn’t know he got her pregnant a second time in 1950. I believe that she was in love with him but to him she was just another conquest. She claimed that after The Call of the Wild finished they were on a train and Clark came to her compartment and date raped her and got her pregnant. I don’t believe that it was any kind of rape, date or otherwise. I believe it was 2 consenting adults.
@@akrenwinkle - When I first started hearing about it, it was sad to have been an affair or maybe a one night stand. But then their daughter Judy started going public with what she knew about it. Her mother had never told her that Clark Gable was her father. Because her mother was getting older, Judy decided that she better go ahead and ask her mother for the truth before it was too late. So she asked. Loretta said that Clark Gable was Judy’s father. Then she qualified it by saying that it was date rape. And she said something about that Judy was “her (Loretta’s) mortal sin”. Loretta Young was Catholic. Being single and pregnant was problematic for her for two reasons. First having sex outside of marriage is a mortal sin in the Catholic Church and a pregnancy. is proof of that mortal sin. However, if it’s rape or date rape, then the woman did not give her consent to sex. Therefore, there is no sin on the woman’s part. But the fact that Loretta said that Judy was her “mortal sin” leads me to believe that the sex was consensual because if Loretta didn’t consent and was forced then it would not have been a mortal sin for Loretta. It’s also problematic because back in those days in Hollywood actors signed. morality agreements. The movie studios did not want their actors to do things that the public might object to because then the public might stop going to see those movies. So actors were expected to behave in a certain way in their personal life. If it were to be discovered that an actor had broken the morality agreement the studio would fire that actor and blackball him or her, which would basically be the end of that person‘s acting career, because the other studios would not want to hire someone who had previously broken a morality agreement because the other studios would be concerned that that person might break a morality agreement again with that studio. It wasn’t just a matter of getting fired from that one studio. Once an actor broke a morality agreement, that was the end of that actor’s acting career at all studios. One other thing that points to consensual although it isn’t proof. I heard, read, or watched something about this. Apparently they had cabins to live in while making the movie. Some of the male actors and/or crew members shared a cabin and they noticed and commented on the fact that Clark spent quite a bit of time visiting at the cabin Loretta was staying in. Maybe they had lots to talk about. Or something….
@@cmm2145 According to Judy Lewis, she knew who was her father from kids at school teasing her about it. The kids heard it from their parents. Everyone knew, including Judy. She didn't just find out as a young adult much later.

How was he a myth?
Because the movie "Gone with the Wind", one of the greatest movies in history.
I believe you meant to say legend.
@@sallyperdue3185 yeah, something like this. Thank you.
Julio Cesar Gonzalez You're welcome 😺
But i mean mythic like synonimous of legendary, not like mythological.
