Written by the widow of one of America's most beloved screen idols, Clark Gable: A Personal Portrait presents a warm, tender portrait of Clark Gable-the man, the husband, the star-as only she could tell it.
Here in fascinating text and a rich array of photographs-many never before published-are scenes and stories of Clark and Kay at home, on location, on hunting trips . . . flashbacks to Clark's boyhood, early career and rise to fame . . . along with pictures of the Gable ranch and candid photos of John Clark Gable, born too late to see his famous father.
Kay Gable tells of her first meeting with Clark; their merry, memorable first date; their courtship and elopement, and their happy years of marriage. She shares with you, little-known facts about her husband: though he loved the challenge of the outdoors and was an outstanding sportsman, he was an avid reader of Shakespeare and enjoyed a wide variety of books. He was a friend to the friendless, and always had time to lend a helping hand to novice actors on the movie set. He formed his friendships on each person's individual merits.
More than a personal portrait of a great screen star, or the life of Kay and Clark Gable as husband and wife, here is the tender revelation of a woman and her wise philosophy for all women who have been, or hope to be, in love.
