@mementomikkie: In 1994 Judy Lewis, the secret daughter of Loretta Young and Clark Gable, wrote her memoir, "Uncommon Knowledge", which included the tragic details of not knowing her father. Her mother did not tell her Clark Gable was her father until after his death. Loretta Young and Clark Gable had an affair while filming the 1935 film, "Call of the Wild". To avoid a scandal (since Gable was married to another woman) Loretta Young pretended to adopt Judy publicly. Judy only met her father once but did not know he was her father at the time. Judy's book caused an estrangement between her and her mother but they were able to reconnect before Loretta's death in 2000. Judy Lewis passed away in 2011 she was 76.

It’s so sad. He certainly could have claimed her as his daughter as the world had changed by the time she was 15. Or at least, he could have told her. They still could have kept it a secret. When Gable died, his wife was pregnant. It seemed so sad that he never got to have a child. Yet he DID have a child. He had a child he didn’t bother to get to know in a meaningful way.

I’m wondering if he knew she didn’t know. My mom never knew the man that she thought was a very good friend of the family like an uncle to her was actually her biological father , she learned of the truth in her late 30s after he bought my sister a whole nursery set when she was pregnant , she asked who he was and he replied “I’m your grandfather” He told my mom he thought she knew all those years and that she just didn’t want anything to do with him.
