Biography
American actor and top star called "the King," Hollywood's quintessential masculine star. He played in a stock company at 19 and on Broadway in "What Price Glory," 1924. His first film was in 1930, "The Painted Desert." Other films included "Mutiny on the Bounty," Oscar winner "It Happened One Night," and "Gone With the Wind," in which he was the perfect Rhett Butler.
In WW II he served in the USAF. He married four times and was childless for his lifetime. His one son was born four months after he died.
"The Misfits" was wrapped on 11/04/1960 at Paramount Studios. It was the most expensive black-and-white film ever made, and gave Gable a salary of $800,000. It had been a difficult production with an unstable Marilyn Monroe and long hours in 100-degree heat. The day after the film closed, Gable had chest pains and that night, complained of a headache and indigestion. Taken to the hospital he recovered enough to listen to the heartbeat of the baby that Kay was carrying. On the night of 11/16/1960, his doctor looked in on him at 10:50 PM. He looked up from the magazine he was reading, flipped a page, and slumped back, dead of a final cardiac thrombosis, Hollywood, CA.
