The Tragic 1960 Death Of Clark Gable Explained
Ойын-сауық
Frankly, my dear, Clark Gable still sets hearts a-flutter. But how did the "King of Hollywood's" off-screen struggles with alcohol, divorce, and personal tragedy lead to his early demise? Grab a hanky and hang on. All will be revealed.

Yessir - and many thanks for the joys you brought to we millions of movie-goers (well, now via DVD's and Television, to be honest.
I'm 76 & remember seeing the front page of "The Daily News" in Nov. '60 stating "GABLE DEAD at 59!" Few actors, if any, could have gotten that recognition! Gable's 'star' has diminished somewhat, for younger audiences, but for anyone over 65, he will forever remain a one of a kind "KING OF THE MOVIES", with no successor! R.I.P Clark!

I’m 22, and just watched Gone With The Wind. He really was a great actor.
He was hell of an actor,a ⭐ star RIP Clark Gable ❤️❤️
Still one of the greatest actors of all time. 🙏🕊️❤️
I fell in love with him when I saw Gone with the wind. He was absolutely wonderful.
Phenomenal actor. It think it is only fitting that he was buried next to the love of his life, Carole Lombard. She was the one that truly had his heart and you could tell that her death took a lot out of him.

You say it's great and it's right. His last wife was the one who gave him a child. Yes, Carol was the love of his life, but did his last wife not love him? I can't say one way or the other. It just seems odd to pick a spouse, basically, rather than your last one.

His grand son, Clark James Gable, died too…but in 2019…at 30 from an accidental overdose of Rx medications. He was the second host of the Reality show Cheaters. He looked just like his grandfather, it’s almost uncanny!

I was in my freshman homeroom when it was announced that Clark Gable had died. Gasps from the students followed. It just couldn’t be true.
Alot of these actors today could not, would not be able to handle all the goings on w acting in those times.
I watched “ The King and Four Queens “ for 100s of times and still fascinated by his role and all those lovely ladies!
One point you didn't mention was that he may have died shortly before the birth of his son however that was not the only child he fathered. His daughter, Judy Lewis Young was born in 1935. She was the secret biological daughter of Gable and actress Loretta Young. In later years Judy revealed she only ever saw her father once, as a teenager and only for a few minutes.
Great tribute and thank you for the valuable information. He was surely one of the best!
Loved me some Clark Gable movies.....such a handsome yet rugged fellow. GWTW is my all time favorite Gable movie....it's a shame he died so young.
Gable actually made a film with Lombard in 1932, "No Man of Her Own", and they didn't hit it off until they met again in 1936 and led to marriage in 1939. It's one of the reasons he took on the role of Rhett Butler. "The Misfits" is my favorite film of all time, and truly I think this is the first film that I think that Gable and Monroe really had to act in. It's questionable if Gable would have made another film after "The Misfits". He considered it his swan song.

His next to last film, "It Started in Naples!" (1960) with a young Sophia Loren, is also a beautiful movie! Set in Capri, Italy, it captured the mood of the era perfectly & got me to travel there, years later! As I got off the small launch to the island, I asked the boatman where the house, used in the movie, was? Unexpectedly, he blurted out "Right Here", on the dock! I felt like I was in the movie!
Handsome and Talented Actor of his generation ❤️ Rest in Peace.
Thanks for sharing 👍😀
He was one of the great’s!!! Sadly Hollywood doe’s not produce star’s the like’s of C Gable anymore…they’ve gone to woke!!!

Clark Gable and Errol Flynn were the greatest of the late thirties actors. They don't make em like that anymore. Thank you. And yes they both Drank and Smoked and Womanized. What do you expect. They lived their lives the way they wanted to. I thought they were fantastic. MEN NOWADAYS SHOULD BE LIKE THAT. THANK YOU.
That was nice
Loretta Young's rape by Gable was pretty shocking & disappointing.
So good looking. So handsome. I saw him in gone with the wind - oh wow!

I just reviewed (for the...n time!) Gone With the Wind. Clark Gable is absolutely perfect and one must be a fool not to love him. He was very good in all his movies: he had a particular charm, a "je ne sais quoi" irresistible. His private life might have been influenced by this. Anyway after the death of Carole Lombard he changed...true love may be very hurting...I know this and I understand him. He didn't need a star, he was THE 🌟!

Gable was a womanizer. Like all Hollywood men. I believe all actors and actresses who took up with the acting business were there for romantic reasons only.
He smoked and drank too much!

I agree,he was the cause of his wife carol Lombard death,at the time he was filming with Lana turner, and we all know he had to have all his leading ladies, because he could not keep it in his trousers, carol Lombard took a plane instead of a train to Rush back, because she would not trust him, only after her death did he realised what a wonderful woman he had, carol Lombard had a great personality, going out with her would be one great laugh,, and she was one of the few actresses who did not sleep around.
If the MCU was in old Hollywood he'd be Iron Man.
I did like the Misfits, because it was a bunch of stereotypes. Monroe was a stereotype, Gable was a stereotype, and Cliff was a stereotypes. All three of these actors were just three stereotypes.
It's weird what people considered attractive "back in the day". Everything about him seems unhealthy & unappealing to me. Its so odd that people accepted heavy drinking and smoking as "normal" at that time. His destructive habits, multiple marriages and affairs are huge red flags but somehow those traits were/are considered "charming" to some folks. Humans are strange
