Gable, Clark

(1901.02.01-1960.11.16)  Actor.

Married in Kingman

 Honeymooned in Oatman

The newlyweds spent their first night as husband and wife on the second floor of the Oatman Hotel.  For a peek in the honeymoon suite, go to Carole Lombard's listing.  6-02.

Gable was wed to Carole Lombard at the Methodist church in Kingman in 1939. They honeymooned in Oatman.

Just short of their third anniversary, Carole was killed in a plane crash in Nevada returning from a tour to sell war bonds.  Clark, reportedly devastated, enlisted in the Army Air Corps as a buck private.

Shortly before his marriage to Carole, Clark was filming "Call of the Wild" and having his own call of the wild with a later Phoenix resident, Loretta Young.  That affair resulted in the birth of a daughter whose parentage neither acknowledged during their lives.
