Articles are Back!

Thank you everyone for your patience while this site gets a much-needed facelift. I am happy to announce that the Article Archive is back up and running! Here you will find over 100 articles on Clark’s life and career, ranging from 1932 to 2008.

Some highlights:

Learn about Clark’s favorite pot roast and how to make his favorite pancakes in The Modern Hostess (1934).

Read about one lucky contest winner’s date with Clark in I Had a Date with Clark Gable (1936).

Hollywood’s Unmarried Husbands and Wives (1939) is the infamous article that called out Clark and Carole, among other celebrity couples, for “acting like they are married even though they are not.” This article led to MGM urging along Clark and Ria’s divorce so that Clark and Carole could marry.

Vivien Leigh, Rhett Butler and I (1940) and Here’s Rhett–You Asked for Him! (1940) are great pieces with Clark talking about playing Rhett Butler in Gone with the Wind.

Want to know about the third Mrs. Gable? Read about Carole Lombard in The Evolution of a Wow (1936), Hollywood’s Goofy Gal Goes Glamourous (1939), Subject: Lombard (1940) It Looked Good for a Laugh at the Time (1941) and She Knew What She Wanted (1941).

Learn about those crazy lovebirds Clark and Carole in Our Home, Our Work–and Children (1939) How Clark Gable and Carole Lombard Live (1940),  At Home with the Gables (1940), and The Gags of the Gables–Like Crazy! (1941).

Read up on Clark’s post-war romances with Ann Sheridan, Paulette Goddard, Nancy Davis and Kay Williams in The Girl in Clark Gable’s Life (1944), Which Girl Has the Gable (1948) and If She Wants Him, She’ll Get Him! (1949).

The hands-down best interview I have ever read with Clark Gable is I Call on Clark Gable (1957). Without fluff and pageantry, Clark and this reporter sat in a room with a tape recorder and Clark answered his questions. Candid, honest and real.

And that is just the top of the iceberg. Plus several new articles will be added in February while we’re celebrating Clark’s birthday month, so stay tuned!
