Joan Crawford could've disarmed me...well, never mind. But as photographed by noted Hollywood photographer, George Hurrell, she was simply flawless.
She and Clark Gable had a pretty torrid offscreen romance going on for a while.

HE wasn't dumb enough to have it loaded with her around-thankfully.

In my opinion, if Gable had been given the right roles, he could have been a western star of the first order, right up there with Gary Cooper and James Stewart.
He was one of the few male actors who, the older he got, the better he seemed to look. As he aged, his face assumed more character. The gray in his hair gave him an air of having seen more than he was willing to talk about. William Holden in The Wild Bunch had this same look.
Unlike a lot of today's male leads, I don't think there was anything phony about Clark Gable. He always admitted his shortcomings, his failings. I think what we saw onscreen was pretty much the real man, again like Cooper and Stewart.
He looked as natural in jeans and a denim jacket as he did in white tie and tails.
Gable died entirely too young.

I could say you beat me to it, but in reality, when I first saw that photo, I just decided to step around that. Not much point in belaboring the obvious, is there?

Why, yes it is. AND I am happy to see you.
Dang! My heads about to pop.
There are so many things popping into my head that I dare not post.

Gable is one of my favorite actors - right up there with Bogart, Cagney, EG Robinson, J. Stewart, E. Flynn etc.

From what I understand, Gable was a real Ladies man in Hollywood and had plenty of notches on his pistol.
I'm going to start...
I'm going to start carrying openly if that's that bait that's needed.

I'm glad you could control your keyboard. If a fine Forum Member such as yourself were to get dinged, well, I just don't know if I could bear it.
The Petrolicious Youtube vids are just like crack to a sports car guy like me.
