Were you aware that Clark Gable flew many missions in the USAAF during WW II as waist gunner in a B-17 Bomber, taking the very real risk of being shot down and killed? His action station was statistically one of the most exposed and deadly, and he sure was no teenager by then. Hats off!

[@venutiabarlow468]

I've lived a wonderful life for 73 years and didn't find out till I was 54 that I was the love child of Lana Turner and Clark Gable. I am living a life that they both yearned for and couldn't have. Healing wounds for my soul family, what a blessing ❤

Weird that there is no mention of Gable’s controversial advocacy for Hattie McDaniels in the Gone with the Wind. It was a pivotal moment and shows another side to him than what is depicted here.

"It Happened One Night" still holds up as a clever, flirty comedy nearly 90 years on! He was excellently paired with Claudette Colbert, and they spend the entire film one-upping each other but never upstaging. It was a marvelous chemistry, and the ways in which they both wore the American fashions of the 1930's is also a treat; both of them being so attractive. And if you like "It Happened One Night," you will also enjoy "Arsenic and Old Lace" with Cary Grant. Happy viewing, everybody!

According to what I have read, Loretta Young was not raped but had fallen deeply in love with Clark Gable but also a devout Catholic who felt she could not afford to let the world know about her pregnancy but found a way to disguise her pregnancy and then hid her little girl’s identity and then yet become her baby’s adoptive mother. It is too bad that she just could not stand up to the world but, then things were very different not that far back. I can see both Loretta Young and Clark Gable in Judy Lewis….it is too bad that she did not get to know her father. Today things would be very different. Times they have changed…..for sure.

I read it. Very disturbing details of the crash itself. I always loved Lombard because Lucille Ball said she came to her in a dream and convinced her to do "I Love Lucy" when Ball had doubts about it. I think her words were, "Go ahead, honey, give it a whirl!" If you loved "I Love Lucy", thank Carole Lombard.

Before you go and ahead and trash this guy, it might be noted that although not required, he joined up at age 41, after being heartbroken by the loss of Carole Lombard. The character he played in "Gone with the Wind" joined the war effort for the south but it turned out Rhett Butler was nothing more than a war profiteer. So Rhett Butler was not a war hero, but Clark Gable was. Gable could have spent his time in the army wearing an officer's uniform, making speeches to buy war bonds or how one should join the army and going on a USO tours, but instead he chose to join the 351st bomb group and was a member of a B-17 bomber. The members of this group did not have long life expectancies. The amount of B-17 crewmen surviving the war was only one in four. During his time in service he was always friendly to anyone and everyone. While he served, he gave autographs upon request to anyone who asked, knowing at the same time, most of the guys he was giving an autograph to, -were not going to be around too much longer.

[@tuttyfat]

Just imagine if you were watching the news and a guy's picture showed up saying he had raped a woman while he was married. Would all of his achievements matter to you then? Imagine what the family and public would say if the news went on to state all of the great things he had done in his life. I'd go so far to say that, that almost every single murderer, rapist also has done wonderful things in their life also. Should all of their good deeds negate the rape? No of course not. It simply shows the whole of a person isn't that one repungent act. While the rapist and murderer needs to be held accountable, it doesnt mean society should lock them up forever or kill them . They should be given a chance at true redemption after their punishment has ended ie a clean slate. Unfortunately, in today's world and in the US those acts follow people after prison making it almost impossible at giving them a chance to do something better with their life. We, as their peers have to allow them to redeem themselves. Of course, I'm not speaking of the very serious offender such as serial murderers/rapists and child murderers/rapist. But those aren't the vast majority of who's in jail.

Brando, who also has allegations against him, was hit with so much tragedy with his partners and kids. Paul Newman also comes to mind. He seemed faithful to his wife to the very end and was a great father and an amazing actor like Gable and Brando. Undoubtedly, Gable, Brando, and Newman are three of the most handsome actors ever.

Beyond History Blog Clark Gable’s German Roots Andrea Bentschneider - 16. November 2015 - Birthdays, Celebrities, General, German-American On 16 November 1960, Clark Gable, one of the most iconic and successful Hollywood actors, passed away. Born in 1901, he had made movie history with classics such as “Mutiny on the Bounty” and “Gone with the Wind”. He was said to be a box-office guarantee and was honoured with an Academy Award for his role in “It happened one night” in 1934. He played alongside Ava Gardner, Marilyn Monroe and Grace Kelly, just to name a few, and became a movie legend. His family background unfortunately wasn’t all that shiny. His mother died when Gable was a toddler and his family faced financial problems a lot - when he decided to become an actor, at first he had to build up his chronically undernourished body. His family history though is very interesting from a genealogical point of view. The roots of Gable’s father went back to Native Americans while his mother apparently had German heritage: Adeline née Hershelman was born in 1869 to John and rosetta Clark Hershelman in Pennsylvania. They were part of the cultural group called Pennsylvania Dutch. This was the name for early German immigrants that settled especially in Pennsylvania. The biggest immigration waves happened from the late 17th to the late 18th century. Their own dialect was called Pennsylvania Dutch as well - the word Dutch here refers not to Dutch people, but to the German word “deutsch”. Clark Gables great grandfather, Johann Jakob Hershelman, had migrated from Trippstadt, Germany, to the US in the mid-19th century. Back then, Trippstadt belonged to the kingdom of Bavaria, today is part of the federal state Rhineland-Palatine. This way the American icon Clark Gable also carried a piece of migration history with him and pleases us today not only with his movies but also from a genealogical viewpoint!

@@chalkymelon No, the fact that you would rather believe those sources over her is what disgusts me. Not believing women has always been a huge problem in society for forever and it's depressing to see this continue even today.

My grandpa looks exactly like Clark Gable, you would think I'm lying if I had a picture I would show you and I'll be like oh my God yes OMG but my mom's side of the family everybody look white so you know but we all fine as hell!! And then I hear it in the biography that he was from Ohio the same place I'm from it's the most weirdest thing I wonder if my mom knows that and my grandmother

[@daler.steffy1047]

To the Narrator: I enjoyed watching your video presentation on Clark Gable, both from a historical and biographical perspective. However, once again, I implore you to use a thesaurus, a book of synonyms that show similar words, to locate other words to use instead of the terrible cliches " icon" and "iconic". It's time to get rid of those terms in narratives. Also, I'd like to suggest that you slow down your speaking pace; it's a bit too rapid-fire. Thank you.

I always cringe that so many of Classic Hollywood favourites were so damn Right Wing Conservative....even as they fought against Hilter / Nazism and participated in many "community good works", they still embraced Hard Core Republican politics and the White racial Status Quo. The great Frank Capra, director of It Happened One Night, was surprisingly very Conservative Republican even as he made all those Humanitarian Populist themed films. Gable seems almost schizo and paradoxical to me .He, too, was a hardcore Republican even while married to Lombard, who was a staunch Democrat liberal. I have trouble reconciling Clark's well-known advocacy and friendship with Hattie McDaniel. But then McDaniel was a Misguided Black Conservative, who "knew her place" as a Black woman and pandered to Whites to bolster her career. And what about Gable's rumoured Bi-sexual behaviour...? if it furthered his career, he didnt mind turning a trick with an Influential dude.
