Clark Gable Dies
Of Heart Attaek
HOLLYWOOD, UP — Clark
Gable, king of Hollywood, died
Wednesday night from a heart at
tack in Hollywood Presbyterian
Hospital.
He had been in the .hospital
since Nov. 6 when a heart attack
felled the husky, 59-year-old actor
at his suburban Encino ranch.
Ironically, death came after his
best day since that first attack.
He had eaten heartily at dinner,
then chatted happily with his
wife.
When Kay, his fifth wife, no
ticed him dozing again, she re
tired to her room across the hall.
She was barely settled when she
heard the nurse cry: “Come
quick!”
Thus ended the 30-year reign
of the king of Hollywood. Sadly,
he never will see his first child
due in March.
Gable had no previous history
of heart trouble when the coro
nary thrombosis hit him.
Gable was admired and envied
by men and adored by women.
He once said he had received
5,000 marriage proposals from
women fans.
And that was years ago. His
popularity never diminished de
spite a series of bad pictures after
World War II — pictures that
would have killed off any other
star in the business.
Gable was born Feb. 1, 1901, in
Cadiz, Ohio, the son of an oil
worker. He knocked about as a
farm boy, oil field worker and
rubber plant employe. Then he
took a job as a backstage call boy
in a touring stock company.
From then on, he was an actor,
touring the country with stock
companies.
I he depression ended the era
of the patent-haired lovers of the
screen and spawned the Gable
era. He was suggested to Louis B.
Mayer as ideal for the gangster
role in “A Free Soul,” starring
John Barrymore and Norma
Shearer.
In the movie Gable slapped
Miss Shearer, one of Metro-Gold
wyn-Mayer’s top feminine stars.
“The reaction was astounding,”
said one MGM executive. “In
stead of the letters of protest we
expected, women by the thou
sands wrote in that they would
like to be slapped around by
Gable.”
Thus started the king’s reign in
Hollywood.
