Clark Gable


 A high-school dropout at age 16, Clark Gable decided to become an actor when he saw a play in his hometown. His personal life was as colorful as the characters he portrayed. As a young man, he married his much-older acting coach, and the couple moved to L.A., where Gable was signed to MGM in 1930. By the mid-1930s, he was a huge star due to films such as It Happened One Night (1934), which won him an Oscar for Best Actor. In 1935, he had a child with his Call of the Wild co-star Loretta Young; because of the strict morality clauses in their contracts— and the fact that Gable was married — they kept the child secret. He married a total of five times, including his greatest love, actress Carole Lombard, who was killed in a plane crash in 1942. After her death, Gable was grief-stricken and joined the US Army during WWII, then returned to acting upon his return. Here, he’s on the set of Red Dust (1932)
