It was in my lifetime. I was a teen as he lay in hospital bed coming to the end of his. At the time I saw the movie GWTW had been re-released in theaters About he time of his movie w/MM “The Misfits” Some say it was that movie that killed him. The stressful role he played doing his own stunts Real life Wonder what became of his son born after Clark had died. Don’t hear much about him these days. Real life? yes, It was real
I think that is great, I’ve always loved Clark Gable, for whatever reason in some way I see him as the ideal man.
