Clark Gable Accused Of Raping Co-Star

Loretta Young made her name in Classic Hollywood as a great beauty — and for the cover-up of one of the industry’s greatest scandals: concealing a child, born out of wedlock, with Clark Gable, one of the era’s biggest stars. It wasn’t until recently that even Young learned the right words for what she’d been hiding for decades.

Mr. Clark Gable was a know escort! Word on the back lot in the days gone-by, was that Mr Clark Gable specialty was the "Sans Denture Experience"! I would have paid extra for that.

How do you learn something when you've been dead for 20 years?

He didn’t rape Loretta...that was her Catholic guilt talking. Because she liked the dick.

She spent her life atoning with a swear jar.

William Haines - allegedly: I wasn't there - raped a very young and sort of hustler-ish Clark Gable in the mens room at an awards dinner when Haines was a big star and Gable was not. And George Cukor knew about it because Haines was a sister and thus was fired as director of GWTW when Gable was chosen to play Rhett Butler.

Loretta liked what Clark had to offer and got a baby named Judy Lewis as a consequence (who she claimed was adopted) and spent her life atoning for her sin. Judy (r) is seen below with Mom and Dad.

Was Clark really a tinymeat, as rumored?

For years, film scholars have nattered on about the glow those to have in an otherwise unremarkable film, said it was clear that those two were in love.

Which doesn't mean that Gable didn't force himself on Young. Even if she was in love with him, it's possible that she wasn't willing to fuck a married man while on location because of her Catholic guilt, and Gable wasn't taking "no" for an answer. Which I admit is incredibly unlikely considering how most actors behave, but someone had to put the possibility out there.

I don't get why Gable was such a draw back then. He had huge ears and chronic halitosis... and not much of a waist and not much definition. Doesn't do a thing for me. Yet Marilyn and Joan and Carole and Loretta were all agog ...

Haines didn't rape Gable.

Gable allowed Haines to blow him to further his career. Haines was a major star at Metro at the time. And yes, Cukor knew about it.

clarks last wife said of him, one less inch and he would be the queen of hollywood instead of king. He engaged in the occasional blow job when first starting out to get ahead in the film business Had a long time on and off fling with Joan Crawford. Both had an abhorance with sitting in a bathtub and taking baths as they didnt want to sit in their own shit I guess. Gable had terrible problem with hemorroids later in life and I think had anal sex phobia.

Monroe was attracted to the king of hollywood history Gable presented not necessairly the flesh and blood in my opinion.

Gable was no prize in my book. Had great taste in cars however

There is no question that Clark Gable was the biological father of Judy Lewis, the resemblance was uncanny. She basically looked like a female version of Gable.

"She basically looked like a female version of Gable. "

It's so sad when girls with beautiful mothers come out looking like their fathers!

Gable wasn't good-looking at all, but he has so much charm, charisma, and testosterone, that he was terribly attractive anyway. But no girl should have had to look like him, especially when she could have looked like this...

Wasn't Loretta's son a homosexual?

In R16 I'm seeing more June Lockhart.

Is there something someone wants to say?

Tastes change. Gable was very handsome, masculine and swarthy. The halitosis thing was overblown. William Haines could not possibly have raped Gable. Loretta Young was consumed with Catholic guilt. Gable's big ears were the human touch that gave his beauty vulnerability and thus made him even more appealing to women. The star-boys of today can't hold a candle to the real man vibe Gable gave off.

Gable had charisma. Young was either thinking she was smart (married man will be discreet and it won't go anywhere) or deluded (he'll want me), but either way, she wanted to shkeoff some of that mackerel snapping.

Yes, I tried to post it with a link but DL was being wonky.

I thought his father (ie Clark Gable's son) also died young but nope, he's still alive.
