William Clark Gable (February 1, 1901 – November 16, 1960) was an American film actor. Though arguably best known for his role as
Rhett Butler
in the
epic
Gone with the Wind
(
1939
), for which he received his third nomination for the
Academy Award for Best Actor
, he was also nominated for
Mutiny on the Bounty
(1935), and he won for
It Happened One Night
(1934). His other films include
Manhattan Melodrama
(1934) and
The Misfits
(1961).
Starting as a stage actor, Gable appeared as an extra in silent films between 1924 and 1926, and progressed to supporting roles with a few films for
MGM
in 1931. The next year he landed his first leading Hollywood role and became a leading man in more than 60 motion pictures over the next three decades.
Gable appeared opposite some of the most popular actresses of the time.
Joan Crawford
, who was his favorite actress to work with, was partnered with Gable in eight films;
Myrna Loy
worked with him seven times, and he was paired with
Jean Harlow
in six productions. He also starred with
Lana Turner
in four features, and with
Norma Shearer
and
Ava Gardner
in three each. Gable's final film,
The Misfits
(1961), united him with
Marilyn Monroe
(also in her last screen appearance). He was named the
seventh greatest male actor of all time by the American Film Institute
.
