Gossip Friday: Too Close and Personal
From November 1956:
Clark Gable has received tempting offers for the film rights to his life story which is a more dramatic tale than most movie heroes boast. But he intends to keep saying no, because he feels many of the most interesting episodes of his part are “too close and personal” to divulge them for public consumption–yet the biography wouldn’t be true without them.

I can’t imagine Gable would have a personal history that compares remotely to what Errol Flynn revealed in his own autobiography. But who knows what stories he could have shared that no other biographer revealed.

He would never have been able to bare his soul that way to strangers. I completely understand his stance.
