LOOK AT MY ROCK STARS. 

Clark Gable as Rhett Butler in Gone with the Wind, 1939

Vivien Leigh and her Oscar won for Gone With The Wind, 1940.

“Clark is the great lover without any of the morbid, tragic aspects of emotionalism. He is the type whom a woman could roll the hills and highways of the world, loving and laughing lustily. He doesn’t take himself seriously in any way, which is his greatest charm. He would never die for love. He would be far more likely to laugh and ride away, leaving you breathless.” -Norma Shearer

The earliest known shot of Clark Gable, taken when he was an extra.
