#Clark Gable

Footage of Clark with Gary Cooper going out for lunch at Chasen’s in West Hollywood, 1948

In It Happened One Night (1934), Clark Gable removed his shirt on screen and revealed he wasn’t wearing a vest. At the time, vests were considered an essential part of a man’s wardrobe. Not wearing one simply wasn’t the done thing. But Gable did it anyway. And people noticed. Reportedly, sales dropped across America almost overnight. A small moment on screen, but proof of just how much influence a well dressed man can have. #1940s #menswear #1930s #clarkgable #menswear

The debonair "King of Hollywood," Clark Gable reigns as today's #SummerUnderTheStars tribute. One of Gable's later works, TEACHER'S PET ('58) marked the first time he worked with Mamie Van Doren and Doris Day. Day later revealed that she only accepted the role to work with Gable, who she had long admired having grown up watching his films. According to her autobiography, not only did she like him immediately as a costar – but she also "could actually feel the magnetic force of his personality." See it today as we celebrate his illustrious career.

Clark Gable didn’t just play Rhett Butler — he embodied him, long before the cameras ever rolled. Hollywood begged him to take the role, but Gable resisted, worried no man could live up to the legend Margaret Mitchell had created. Yet when he finally stepped onto the set, something shifted. His presence was effortless, commanding, almost dangerous — the kind of charm that didn’t ask for attention, it claimed it. And from the moment he delivered that first smirk, everyone knew the truth: Rhett Butler wasn’t a character anymore. He was Clark Gable. #VintageStars

Today is the death day of the King of Hollywood. Clark Gable, who left his signature in every movie he played and always stood out with his skills. And he said that "I'm no actor... I never have been. What you see on the screen is me." - Clark Gable With that, we can say with admiration how he enters the role, or rather, he lives it, when we watch any of his films. One of the roles that made him even more famous was the role of Rhett Butler. Which is the most famous movie line "Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn" he said here. #oldhollywood #clarkgable #gonewiththewind #kingofhollywood #30s #40s #50s

Hay finales que hacen historia. Y luego está el de 'Lo que el viento se llevó' (1939). Un día como hoy nacía Clark Gable. Rescatamos esta escena icónica para celebrar al eterno Rhett Butler, en uno de los momentos más citados y recordados del cine clásico. Un cierre seco, moderno y devastador que redefinió cómo podía terminar una gran historia romántica. Una película que fue un hito industrial: arrasó en la temporada de premios con un récord histórico de nominaciones y se llevó 10 Oscar en la 12ª edición (1940), consolidándose como uno de los mayores éxitos de la historia de Hollywood. Simplemente historia del cine. ¿Sigue siendo uno de los mejores finales de todos los tiempos o ha envejecido peor de lo que recordamos? #ClarkGable #LoQueElVientoSeLlevó #GoneWithTheWind
