Clark Gable Trivia
|
- As a native of Cadiz, Ohio, he was inducted into the Lou Holtz Museum/Upper Ohio Valley Hall of Fame in June 2004 (www.LouHoltzHallOfFame.com).
- Grandfather of Clark James Gable, who's the first child of his son John Clark Gable and his ex-wife Tracy Yarro. Clark James was born on September 10, 1988 at a hefty 10 lbs.
- Was Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster's inspiration for half of Superman's alter ego name Clark Kent ("Kent" came from Kent Taylor).
- In some radio interviews at the end of his life, his voice has a haunting similarity to Walt Disney's.
- He worked as a lumberman in the Willamette valley of Oregon in the early 1920s. After a couple of months of doing that, he quit, saying "that the work was too hard", and he would rather act, instead. He then left to go to Hollywood, where he began his acting career.
