Gable quit highschool when he was16 to work in a tirefactory. But at age 17,his acting ambitionstook flight after seeingthe play “The Bird ofParadise.”

Roles in early1930s films such as“The Painted Desert”and “Red Dust”rocketed Gable tostardom. In 1934, heappeared in the FrankCapra comedy “ItHappened OneNight,” for which hewon the AcademyAward for Best Actor.

Those who knewGable said his thirdwife, actress CaroleLombard, was thelove of his life. Theymarried in 1939, buttheir romance was cutshort by Lombard’sdeath in a 1942 planecrash.
