Happy Birthday Clark Gable (February 1, 1901 – November 16, 1960) 

“This “King” stuff is pure bullshit. I eat and sleep and go to the bathroom just like everybody else. There’s no special light that shines inside me and makes me a star. I’m just a lucky slob from Ohio. I happened to be in the right place at the right time, and I had a lot of smart guys helping me–that’s all.“ - Clark Gable

“Clark Gable was the only real he-man I’ve ever known, of all the actors I’ve met.“ - John Huston

“I adored him. Just adored him. I don’t believe any woman is telling the truth if she ever worked with Gable and did not feel twinges of a sexual urge beyond belief. I would call her a liar.” - Joan Crawford

“It was hard for me to work with him at first. I had been in love with Clark Gable since I was a little girl. And every once in a while I’d think, ‘It’s CLARK GABLE!’ and I’d go to pieces.” - Ava Gardner
