My mother use to tell us about the movie star Clarck Gable (not sure of the spelling) how did he die?

Question

I know that he also made the movie "Gone with the wind". I would very much like to know how he died and who he married, any children?

Answer 1

Died of a heart attack while filming the Misfits in 1960 with Marilyn Monroe. He was married 4 times (most famously to the comic actress Carole Lombard, who died in a plane crash while raising money for WWII war effort). He was stepfather to 2 children, illegitimate father to a daughter with actress Loretta Young and his last wife, Kay, gave birth to his child a few months after he died. His son was named John Clark Gable.

Answer 2

Clark Gable died in Los Angeles, California in November 1960, the result of a fourth heart attack. He was 59.

There was much speculation about Gable's physically demanding Misfits role (which required yanking on and being dragged by horses) having contributed to his sudden death soon afterward. In a widely reported quote, Kathleen Gable blamed it on stress caused by "the endless waiting... waiting (for Monroe)". Monroe, on the other hand, claimed that she and Kathleen had become close during the filming and would refer to Clark as "Our Man". (Spicer, Clark Gable, McFarland, pp. 300-301). Support for Monroe's claim may be found in that Kathleen Gable specifically invited Marilyn to Gable's funeral and the two of them sat together in the church during the service, as shown in contemporary newsreels. Others have blamed Gable's crash diet before filming began; for years, Gable's head would sometimes shake from the diet pills he would take to strip off pounds before making a film, a practice which may have contributed to his early death. [citation needed] It should be noted that Gable was in poor health when filming began from years of heavy smoking and drinking, and in the previous decade had suffered two seizures which may have been heart attacks.
