Forever Gable
Does the vision of Rhett Butler sweeping Scarlett O'Hara off her feet and upstairs to bed still make you swoon? If you need a fix of all things Gable, visit the Clark Gable Web Ring.
More than a dozen Gable-inspired sites offer detailed biographies, filmographies -- and, yes -- dashing photos of the film icon. Crystal's Clark Gable page, for instance, reveals that the future star's mother died when young Gable was only seven months old.
"His unshaven love-making with braless Jean Harlow in Red Dust (1932) made him MGM's most important star," Crystal notes. And he earned an Oscar for his role in "It Happened One Night" with Claudette Colbert -- a role he was farmed out to play for Columbia Pictures after refusing an MGM assignment.
