GOSSIP:	Chosen by Empire magazine as one of the 100 Sexiest Stars in film history (#36). (1995) Adolf Hitler esteemed the film star above all other actors, and during the war offered a sizable reward to anyone who could capture and return Gable unscathed to him. Gable's first two wives -- Josephine Dillon and Ria Langham -- were 14 and 17 years older than he was. He disliked Greta Garbo, a feeling that was mutual. She thought his acting was wooden while he considered her a snob. In the '70s his Encino, California estate was subdivided and turned into a very upscale tract development called Clark Gable Estates. When Gable was first cast in 1934's IT HAPPENED ONE NIGHT opposite Claudette Colbert, he told director Frank Capra that he would give the role a shot, but if things weren't going well after a few days, he would leave the production. When he took off his shirt in IT HAPPENED ONE NIGHT (1934) -- revealing bare skin beneath rather than an undershirt -- sales of undershirts reportedly showed a significant drop. At the Miami bus station, friends of Peter Warne (Clark Gable) refer to him as the King - Gable's nickname in real life. (IT HAPPENED ONE NIGHT ) Bored while waiting for Monroe to turn up on the set in THE MISFITS (1961), Gable opted to do his own stunts, which included being dragged by a truck travelling at 30 mph. He also starred in the 1953 remake of RED DUST (1932), MOGAMBO (1953). He appears on camera, in uniform, addressing the audience in the final scene of the picture.( WINGS UP (1943)) He had to shave off his trademark mustache for MUTINY ON THE BOUNTY (1935) for historical accuracy. Mustaches were not allowed in the British Navy during the time the story takes place. He was so distressed over the requirement that he cry on film (during the scene where Melanie is comforting Rhett after Scarlett's miscarriage) that he almost quit. Olivia de Havilland convinced him to stay on the film. He, who was on contract with MGM, was loaned to Columbia for the movie IT HAPPENED ONE NIGHT (1934) as a punishment for his cantankerous attitude and refusal to accept several MGM scripts. IDIOT'S DELIGHT (1939) was the only film in which Clark Gable performed a dance number. He spent 6 weeks rehearsing the steps with the dance director, George King, and practicing at home with his wife, Carole Lombard. Because of his fear of messing it up during a take, the set was closed during the filming of this sequence. MORE CLARK GABLE TRIVIA
