Clark Gable's son is arrested due to driving his white Ford pickup into six parked cars in Malibu, Calif., reported USA Today on April 3. The 52-year-old son of the 'Gone With the Wind' star, John Clark Gable, who was born four months after his father died, was booked on suspicion of drunken driving. Gable posted $15,000 bail and was released. Last year, Gable's late girlfriend, Christiane Candice Lange, 41, was found dead in their home presumably from a prescription drug overdose.
Although Clark Cable, who died in 1960 at the age of 59 from a heart attack, was famous, his son, John Clark Gable, not so much. He did some acting, appearing in the 1990 "Bad Jim," but he never found fame as an actor. His first marriage was to Tracy Yarro in 1984 and they divorced in 1990. Out of that marriage came two children. One of the children is Clark James Gable. In 2012, Clark Gable III became the host of the reality TV show "Cheaters."
Do you think it's unfortunate that John Clark Gable never really made it as an actor?
