Clark Gable
Clark Gable (1901–1960) was an American film actor from Cadiz, Ohio, widely called "the King of Hollywood" during the studio era of the 1930s and 1940s. He left school young, worked a series of jobs and learned his craft in touring and stock theater companies before reaching Broadway and then signing with MGM in the early 1930s. His turning point came with It Happened One Night (1934), a comedy made on loan to Columbia Pictures that won him the Academy Award for Best Actor. He went on to star in Mutiny on the Bounty (1935), San Francisco (1936) and Gone with the Wind (1939), in which he played Rhett Butler. During World War II he enlisted in the Army Air Forces, flew missions over Europe and was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross. His final film, The Misfits, was released in 1961.
