In a sense - it was “pilot error.” Due to blackout conditions, several navigational beacons were not functioning properly. Additionally, it’s believed they were having trouble with an engine, so they were flying lower than the normal departure altitude. They flew right into Mt Potosi. The crash site is so remote, there remains a great deal of debris at the site: I believe both engines are still there.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I always thought Clark Gale was one of the sexiest men in Hollywood! I still do!

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

It's an old story that's been told better by others. No new photos or information and this version has less details.

Thank you!! It was driving me crazy!!

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.

@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.

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.)

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. 😢

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!”??

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.

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 do agree Gone with the Wind the best movie ❤

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 ..

I love the quotation Lombard supposedly summed up Gable with: "I'm nuts about him, not his nuts."

bwahahaha- the narrator called Louis Mayer “louie meyer”

My favorite Clark Gable film is the one he made with Claudette Cobert: It Happened One Night. It swept the Oscars.

Carole Lomard to me was a very beautiful women

He had to feel responsible to some degree, because hia reputation waa the reason she was on the flight to begin with.

I have been to Crescent Lake were the couple holed up. I was named after Clark Gable, as was Clark Kent.

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 was the love of his life...❤❤

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.

INOLVIDABLES

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.

Clark was in some respects a very strange guy. First two wives much older than he, both in a position to help him rise to his ambitions. Lots of affairs in the meanwhile. Then Carole Lombard, who at first glance seems off-type but turns out to be a great pal for an outdoorsman. Then after she dies, he married two Carole look-alikes. Seems like his partnership choices, with one exception, were driven by either ambition or grief.
