Clark Gable
Gone With the Wind
Volume Two (1938-1939) of a Three-Part Biography
Darwin Porter, Danforth Prince
This is Volume Two (Gone With the Wind) of a three-part biography of Clark Gable.
During his heyday, he was the King of Hollywood, a role model, a patriotic symbol, and one of the most talked-about actors of the 20th Century.
The uncensored details of Clark Gable's real story might never have been known,lost to history with the passing of those who knew him personally.
Fortunately, Darwin Porter, through Blood Moon Productions, opted to change all that. Here he is, Clark Gable, the King of Hollywood. His complete story had never been told... until now.
Although Clark Gable was probably the most-watched, and most-emulated actor of the Golden Age of Hollywood, no one has ever explored his opportunistic and meteoric rise to fortune and unparalleled fame. But now, thanks to the releases of Volumes One and Two of this trilogy, the authors at Blood Moon Productions have changed all that.They expose the King of Hollywood — uncut, unclothed, stripped of all his camouflage.
At the peak of his career, flush with the success of his starring performance in history's most poignant film about the end of the old south (Gone With the Wind), Clark Gable had become a symbol of American pride and power itself. His role as an icon was so pronounced that Adolph Hitler placed a bounty on his head and stated his intention of capturing him alive and dragging him, caged and in chains, as a trophy through the streets of Nazi Berlin.
GABLE! More than any other actor of his era, he influenced America's definition of Manhood. He became a Mega-Celebrity before they invented the word. And despite intense rivalry with lesser actors, his career survived (and thrived) throughout vastly different eras of America's film industry priorities and values. And although he was the most-watched and most emulated actor of Golden Age Hollywood, no one has ever really explored his meteoric but opportunistic rise ti fortune and unparalleled fame.
Clark Gable led a mind-bending life which Blood Moon Productions has configured into THREE SPECTACULAR VOLUMES, each choreographed in ways never achieved, despite multiple hackneyed attempts from other publishing venues.He was THE KING, and despite many irreverent revelations about the eras in which he thrived, we'll always treat him like one.
GABLE! He's here, alive and thriving, the beneficiary of years of research from the creative team at Blood Moon Productions. So complicated is his story that no single tome can contain all that's needed to say in this ULTIMATE OVERVIEW of CLARK, GLORIOUSY GABLED. The focal point of a major trilogy spearheaded by film historian Darwin Porter.

About the Author:
“Darwin Porter is the master of guilty pleasures. There is nothing like reading him for passing the hours. He is the Nietzsche of Naughtiness, the Goethe of Gossip, the Proust of Pop Culture. Porter knows all the nasty buzz anyone has ever heard whispered in dark bars, dim alleys, and confessional booths. And lovingly, precisely, and in as straightforward a manner as an oncoming train, his prose whacks you between the eyes with the greatest gossip since Kenneth Anger. Some would say better than Anger.” (as quoted from Alan W. Petrucelli’s THE ENTERTAINMENT REPORT at Examiner.com).
Porter began his career writing about politics and the entertainment industry for Knight Newspapers and The Miami Herald. Today, he’s one of the most prolific biographers in the world. His portraits of Marilyn Monroe, Frank Sinatra, J. Edgar Hoover, Vivien Leigh, Laurence Olivier, Howard Hughes, John and Jackie Kennedy, Paul Newman, Merv Griffin, Steve McQueen, Marlon Brando, Humphrey Bogart, Katharine Hepburn, and Michael Jackson have generated widespread reviews and animated radio and blogsite commentaries worldwide. Some of his biographies have been serialized to millions of readers in The Sunday Times of London and The Mail on Sunday.
Porter is also the well-known original author of many editions of The Frommer Guides, a respected travel guidebook series that’s among the most prominent and well-respected in the world.
