(March 29, 1939 - January 16, 1942) (her death)
This is a cute story: The Gable`s were sitting alone on the patio watching the sun go down late one evening. Supposedly Gable was feeling the effects of several Scotches, and said to Carole, "Ma, we’re lucky people. We have this ranch, and while its not going to support us, it feels like a ranch. We’ve got this house fixed just to suit us, we’ve both good jobs, friends, money in the bank and our health. God’s been good to us. Can you think of anything you really need or want that you haven’t got? Lombard sipped her Coke before she answered. "Pa, to tell you the truth, I could use a couple of loads of manure if we’re going to do any good with those fruit trees."
Their marriage was based on pure devotion and Carole and Clark soon became one of "Hollywood's Most Beautiful Couples." Sadly, after an appearance in Indianapolis, Indiana, Carole's plane crashed on January 16, 1942, over Las Vegas, Nevada on Table Rock Mountain; no one survived the accident. His life torn apart by the death of his bride, Clark Gable joined the Miami Beach 8th Air Force Unit, "not expecting to come out again," but was dismissed after a few years of loyal service.
