It’s Our First Anniversary!
My, how time flies! Hard to believe but today marks the first anniversary of the day I launched this site! I never tire of researching and finding new Gable stuff and I have enjoyed corresponding with fellow Gable fans. I started out with 25 film pages and now there are 56! And I’ve added about a thousand pictures to the gallery over the past year, not to mention many new radio shows and sections. It is my hope that I can keep this site alive and thriving with new information. I’ve got a lot of new stuff coming this month, but to start there is a film page for Command…

Rest in Peace
Clark died 49 years ago today, on November 16, 1960. Myrna Loy once said of their film flop Parnell, “I suppose its failure was because nobody believed that strong, virile Clark would die, weak and sick, of a heart attack. But that is how he did end up going, the poor soul.” To commemerate this anniversary, I have added a section under the Info tab detailing his death and funeral that you can find here. I have a copy of his will that I will be posting soon in its entirety in that section as well. Pictures and audio from the Gone with the Wind 70th Anniversary event over the…
