In the past year or two, there have been a treasure trove of documents that have been scanned and saved to the cloud from the archives and vaults of this nearly 100 year old studio. It basically just partners up with other studios now, but back in the day, it was huge. One of the documents dug up confirms that long long talked about rumor that this permanent A list mostly movie actor did, in fact, drive drunk and kill a pedestrian and that someone else went to jail for it. The document has the name of the person hired to go to jail. Apparently they only went to jail for six months, but was guaranteed a job for twenty years for doing it.
Clark Gable

Clark Gable
Oh, the asshole from Gone with the Wind.
ReplyDeleteWhat about the other people involved? No reveal on them?
ReplyDeleteI'd make that trade back then. Jobs weren't easy to come by, especially good paying ones.
ReplyDeleteClark Gable is my favourite old Hollywood actor. Everyone used to drink and drive in earlier years so this story is no surprise.
ReplyDeleteFrankly My Dear, I don't Give A Dram.
ReplyDeleteMy "favorite" Clark Gable story was about how he would chew garlic and other terribly scented foods before his love scenes with Vivian Leigh in GwtW because he disliked her so.
ReplyDeleteSeen that movie three times, twice in the cinema. The acting is overly theatrical but the screen presence and charisma of the leads are indisputable.
Smart move on his part. Avoid jail at all costs!

We're knights of the rounds table.
Our shows are formidable,
But many times we're givin rhymes
That are quite unsingable.
We're opera mad in camelot.
we sing from the diaphragm a lot.

Clap clap clap clap
Knights: [tap-dancing]
In war we're tough and able.
Quite indefatigable.
Between our quests we sequin vests and impersonate Clark Gable
He also date raped Loretta Young and never faced consequences.
ReplyDeleteLoretta Young and he had an affair. She had a daughter with him who she then pretended was her adopted daughter. The daughter looked just like Gable and Loretta went to get grave without telling her the truth.
DeleteLoretta told her while still alive. She had his ears and grin. She has since passed. Good for her for not having an abortion!
DeleteThe daughter had his features...all 3 have passed
DeleteI read he had wooden teeth. His antics killed Carole Lombard, then he kills a pedestrian. Then Marilyn is accused of killing him by her antics on his last movie. Karma I call it.
ReplyDeleteGable did not have wooden teeth, but terrible breath for sure.

I don't know what the source for this was, but it's not true. Snopes did a thorough investigation. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/crash-course-3/
ReplyDeleteSnopes is a f*cking joke, it's like if your drunken uncle hired prostitutes to run a fact checking site.

Delete"Snopes" and "thorough investigation" are mutually exclusive.

ReplyDeleteYou're quoting from the Daily Mail?
https://www.theguardian.com/media/2016/dec/23/why-is-mail-online-going-after-fact-checkers-snopes
Sadly daily mail is FARmlre reliable than snopes and often reports more thoroughly on stories that our MSM are too chicken shit to touch
DeleteSnopes is a joke.
ReplyDeleteHis "antics" never "killed Carole Lombard", and accusations that he date raped Loretta Young are very questionable, to state it as fact is stupid and irresponsible, grow up.
