William Clark Gable was born on February 1, 1901 in Cadiz, Ohio, to Adeline (Hershelman) and William Henry Gable, an oil-well driller. He was of German, Irish, and Swiss-German descent. When he was seven months old, his mother died, and his father sent him to live with his maternal aunt and uncle in Pennsylvania, where he stayed until he was two. His father then returned to take him back to Cadiz. At 16, he quit high school, went to work in an Akron, Ohio, tire factory, and decided to become an actor after seeing the play "The Bird of Paradise". He toured in stock companies, worked oil fields and sold ties. On December 13, 1924, he married Josephine Dillon, his acting coach and 15 years his senior. Around that time, they moved to Hollywood, so that Clark could concentrate on his acting career. In April 1930, they divorced and a year later, he married Maria Langham (a.k.a. Maria Franklin Gable), also about 17 years older than him.
While Gable acted on stage, he became a lifelong friend of Lionel Barrymore. After several failed screen tests (for Barrymore and Darryl F. Zanuck), Gable was signed in 1930 by MGM's Irving Thalberg. He had a small part in The Painted Desert (1931) which starred William Boyd. Joan Crawford asked for him as co-star in Dance, Fools, Dance (1931) and the public loved him manhandling Norma Shearer in A Free Soul (1931) the same year. His unshaven lovemaking with bra-less Jean Harlow in Red Dust (1932) made him MGM's most important star.
His acting career then flourished. At one point, he refused an assignment, and the studio punished him by loaning him out to (at the time) low-rent Columbia Pictures, which put him in Frank Capra's It Happened One Night (1934), which won him an Academy Award for his performance. The next year saw a starring role in Call of the Wild (1935) with Loretta Young, with whom he had an affair (resulting in the birth of a daughter, Judy Lewis). He returned to far more substantial roles at MGM, such as Fletcher Christian in Mutiny on the Bounty (1935) and Rhett Butler in Gone with the Wind (1939).
After divorcing Maria Langham, in March 1939 Clark married Carole Lombard, but tragedy struck in January 1942 when the plane in which Carole and her mother were flying crashed into Table Rock Mountain, Nevada, killing them both. A grief-stricken Gable joined the US Army Air Force and was off the screen for three years, flying combat missions in Europe. When he returned the studio regarded his salary as excessive and did not renew his contract. He freelanced, but his films didn't do well at the box office. He married Sylvia Ashley, the widow of Douglas Fairbanks, in 1949. Unfortunately this marriage was short-lived and they divorced in 1952. In July 1955 he married a former sweetheart, Kathleen Williams Spreckles (a.k.a. Kay Williams) and became stepfather to her two children, Joan and Adolph ("Bunker") Spreckels III.
On November 16, 1959, Gable became a grandfather when Judy Lewis, his daughter with Loretta Young, gave birth to a daughter, Maria. In 1960, Gable's wife Kay discovered that she was expecting their first child. In early November 1960, he had just completed filming The Misfits (1961), when he suffered a heart attack, and died later that month, on November 16, 1960. Gable was buried shortly afterwards in the shrine that he had built for Carole Lombard and her mother when they died, at Forest Lawn Cemetery.
In March 1961, Kay Gable gave birth to a boy, whom she named John Clark Gable after his father.- Actor

Spanish singer of Andalusian folk songs (coplas), kid sister of the legendary Lola Flores. Born in Jerez de la Frontera, Cadiz, Andalusia, Spain, she was the youngest daughter of Pedro Flores, who owned and tended a modest bar, and Rosario Ruiz, a seamstress. Her older siblings were the mentioned Lola, born in 1923, and Manolo, born in 1934.
In order to launch Lola's professional career as a copla singer and dancer, the family sold everything they had and migrated to Madrid in 1940. They struggled for a few years but eventually Lola's talents won the day and she became the bread winner for the family. In 1949 the Flores clan was dealt a tragic blow when Manolo died at age 15 due to a peritonitis. The family was devastated but the tragedy served to unite them more in their resolve to survive. Lola achieved great success on stage and began showing up in films.
The powerful film producer Cesáreo González of Suevia Films sensed Lola's great potential as a movie star and signed her to an exclusive contract that included promotional tours of Latin America. By then, sister Carmen was also giving evidence of her own talents as a singer and Lola became her enthusiastic mentor and benefactor, demanding that all her contracts for stage and films must include Carmen as well as traveling accommodations for her parents. During a concert tour with Cesáreo González, Carmen Flores, barely a teenager, made her professional debut at the Esperanza Iris Theater in Mexico City with resounding success. From then on Lola and Carmen became a united force that conquered audiences as well as critics everywhere they performed. In the early 1950's Carmen, like her sister, became a recording act and continued performing in her sister's stage musicals and films.
However in 1959 it all came to an abrupt end when Carmen fell in love with star football player Isidro Sánchez and decided to get married and raise a family. The couple would eventually procreate four children which kept Carmen quite busy during her retirement years although she did a couple of guest appearances in Lola's stage musicals. Ten years later, Carmen could no longer ignore that her husband was being unfaithful and that her marriage was over. She divorced Isidro and found herself broke due to his mismanagement of the couple's finances. With four kids to support she had to return to work and, as always, she was aided by sister Lola who by now had achieved super stardom status. Copla hit makers Manuel Quiroga and Rafael de León also came to her rescue by composing a new repertoire especially for her and the Columbia label did not miss the opportunity to record her. Her old public was delighted and a new generation was fascinated by an artist who reconquered the place she deserved in the music industry with her talents.
As time passed, Carmen was smart enough to keep developing as a vocalist, and slowly her Andalusian coplas became more pop influenced. Hence her act acquired new dimensions that made her attractive to audiences in discotheques, supper clubs and television. Of course that did not stop her from appearing with her dear sister Lola whenever the opportunity arose until 1995 when the great Lola Flores died a victim of cancer. By then the Flores clan also included her sister's daughters Lolita and Rosario, as well as son Antonio who unfortunately passed away two weeks after his famous mother at age 33.
Carmen continued performing and recording as a solo act although sometimes she would also join her nieces in national and international tours. In the late 1990's Carmen found remarkable success in Argentina and moved there temporarily in order to fulfill the demands of her adoring public. She traveled extensively as a one woman show touring Argentinean theaters and also appearing often on television. She signed with a new record label and her live concerts were released on home video formats. In spite of her many commitments in Argentina, Carmen was able to perform often in Uruguay, Chile, Mexico, the United States, and her own country Spain remaining a favorite of music fans for many years.- Actor
