Gable Quotations
I had no romantic interest in Gable. I considered him an older man.
Gene Tierney
I learned early on, having known the most handsome, successful, Gary Cooper, Clark Gable, Robert Taylor, don't ever spend too much time looking in the mirror.
Robert Stack
And then the first was The Misfits, which I enjoyed very much, with Marilyn and Gable.
Eli Wallach
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.
Jackie Cooper
Clark Gable was the first to have called me a mermaid.
Esther Williams
I regret not doing a film that I was offered with Clark Gable because the script was not good enough.
Leslie Caron
In our film profession you may have Gable's looks, Tracy's art, Marlene's legs or Liz's violet eyes, but they don't mean a thing without that swinging thing called courage.
Frank Capra
