I put in a call to Clark Gable to tell him about some deer I`d heard were running loose up in the Canadian Rockies. I was told he was on location ... in Hong Kong. I called Robert Taylor. He was on location, too, in Italy, unless he had finished there and...
Gary Cooper
[on Clark Gable]: He happened to be an actor, a damned good one, and nobody knew it - least of all Clark. Oh, he wanted to be an actor, but he always deprecated his ability, pretended it didn`t matter. He was a really shy man with a terrible inferiority i...

[on what inspired him to became a "mood music" legend, via a series of successful albums] Every time I ever watched Clark Gable do a love scene in the movies, I`d hear this really pretty music, real romantic, come up behind him and help set the mood. So I...

In our film profession you may have [Clark Gable`s] looks, [Spencer Tracy`s] art, [Marlene Dietrich`s] legs or [Elizabeth Taylor`s] violet eyes, but they don`t mean a thing without that swinging thing called courage.

Mogambo (1953) had three things that interested me. John Ford, Clark Gable, and a trip to Africa with expenses paid. If Mogambo had been made in Arizona, I wouldn`t have done it.
Grace Kelly
[on Clark Gable] It was the joy of your life to know Clark Gable. He was everything good you could think of. He had delicious humor, he had great compassion, he was always a fine old teddy bear. In no way was he conscious of his good looks, as were most o...

Joan Blondell
[On friend Joan Crawford]: She is five feet four, but she looks six feet on the screen. In a two-shot with anyone, even Gable, (Clark Gable), your eyes fix on her. She is imperious, yet with a childlike sparkle. She is haughty, yet tender. She has no grea...

Steven Spielberg
[In reference to King Kong (1933)] "He (Merian Cooper) called me into his office and showed me sketches of jungle scenes and told me, `You`re going to have the tallest, darkest leading man in Hollywood.` Naturally, I thought Clark Gable. But then he showe...
Fay Wray
Ever since they opened the floodgates with Clark Gable saying, `Frankly, my dear, I don`t give a damn,` somebody`s ears pricked up and said, `Oh boy, here we go!`. Writers used to make such wonderful pictures without all that swearing, all that cursing. A...
Ernest Borgnine
[after Clark Gable ended up with the role of Rhett Butler in Gone with the Wind (1939)] "Gone with the Wind is going to be the biggest flop in history. I`m just glad it`ll be Clark Gable who`s falling on his face and not Gary Cooper."

Gary Cooper
[about Gary Cooper] "Coop is a right guy, the kind you like to hunt and fish with and not talk about making movies. I laid it on him one time about his romance with Carole [Carole Lombard, Gable`s wife] and he got pale as hell. She told me about it during...

Carole Lombard, Clark Gable, Ginger Rogers, Fred Astaire - that was my idea of what it was supposed to be like. I thought, `Well, I can do that even if no one else does.` Who cares? I dress up to show that I am happy and grateful to be there. That`s what ...
Sharon Stone
[on Clark Gable] Clark Gable was highly professional. He was a bigger star than we can create today. I was just a mini-star when we did "Gone With the Wind." I was afraid to talk to him. People can`t understand it now, but we were in awe. Clark Gable didn...

People like Spencer Tracy held up because they had the background originally, but to this day they never have changed Mr. Gable`s role, or most of them.
