Judy Lewis Has Died - Secret Love Child Of Clark Gable & Loretta Young

If you are a fan of Old Hollywood blind items and the great stories that only seemed to have happened back in the day, then you should do yourself a favor and read a little bit about Judy Lewis. The New York Times ran a great piece about her yesterday which I think you will find fascinating. Judy was the daughter of Loretta Young and Clark Gable. Clark was married and filming a movie with Loretta. Both were huge stars and if the news got out it would ruin both their careers. Loretta moved to Europe and had Judy. Then for the next 19 months Judy basically was shuttled between hospitals and orphanages until Loretta "adopted" her. Loretta told the gossip columns that Judy was adopted. She also told Judy she was adopted. It was not until she was 31 years old that Judy found out her mom was her biological mother. She found out about her dad on her wedding day from her about to be husband. He told her he had no idea who Judy's mom was but that everyone in town knew she was Clark Gable's daughter. When Judy was 7 she had big Clark Gable ears and Loretta had them surgically altered so they would not stick out or draw attention to Judy's features and give the game away. In her biography, Judy told the world who her mom was. Her mom did not speak to her for three years and only admitted her parentage in her autobiography which was released after her death in 2000.
