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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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!

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 🌟!
