Clark Gable, being one of the most attractive and famous men in the world had his pick of lovely females who were interested in him. For Gable, being the man's man that he was, it was almost like being a kid in a candy store. So many women loved and adored him that it must have been temptation every day. It is well know that he had affairs with Joan Crawford, Loretta Young, Elizabeth Allen and many other stars, but I can just imagine how many there were that we will never know about. Below are some impressions from many of Gable's women. |
Joan
Crawford - Joan and Clark did several films together
and had a relationship that lasted throughout all of them. They
are as follows:
According to Crawford, during the making of Possessed, they were very much in love. Crawford is quoted as saying: "When the scenes ended, the emotion didn't - we were each playing characters very close to our own". There was talk of marriage. To quote Joan, "We talked of marriage, of course. But I dared not ruin the dreams. I'd rather live with them unfulfilled than have them broken". |
Elizabeth Allen - starred in many films in Hollywood in the 1930's, but went back to England where she married. Gable had a relationship with her that lasted many years off an on. My favorite Elizabeth Allen film is "A Tale of Two Cities, where she played Lucie Manette. |
Loretta Young - During the filming of The Call of the Wild, Gable and Young had an affair. Young had just ended an intense relationship of more than a year with Spencer Tracy. The film was shot in the snowbound country surrounding Mount Baker in northern Washington state. The film was on a six week schedule which was forced to two months. Since the two of them were virtually captive in this remote location, an affair bloomed. The affair abruptly ended with the end of shooting. The results was that Young gave birth to a daughter that Loretta Young kept secret all of her life. She told the world that her daughter was adopted and hid her "big ears" when she was a child to insure that no connection to Gable was made. She felt that if it became known that they had a child out of wedlock that it would ruin both of their careers. They didn't work together again until Key to the City in 1950. Their relationship didn't blossom again since Young was now married with two children and currently pregnant. They reportedly didn't get along during the filming. Their daughter, Judy Lewis, wrote a book which told of Gable being her father entitled, Uncommon Knowledge.
