ISBN10: 1854109049, ISBN13: 9781854109040, [publisher: Aurum Press] Softcover CLARK GABLE : A BIOGRAPHY Paperback Book - 2003 - Condition : Very Good [Margate, Kent, United Kingdom] [Publication Year: 2003]
ISBN10: 1854109049, ISBN13: 9781854109040, [publisher: Quarto Publishing PLC, United Kingdom] Softcover Clark Gable was the archetypal male star of Hollywood's heyday - he gambled, he drank and he womanised on an heroic scale.

Crawford was the first, but by no means the last, of Gable's leading ladies to keep up her role off screen - their affair would continue, on and off, for several years. But it was another star, Carol Lombard, who for the first, and perhaps for the last time, won his true and enduring love. Her tragic death in a wartime plane cr ...
