Clark Gable ~born February 1, 1901 in Cadiz, Ohio

🎞 American actor often referred to as the "King of Hollywood". He appeared in more than 60 motion pictures across a variety of genres during a 37-year career, three decades of which he spent as a leading man.

He was widely referred to as the quintessential "tall, dark, and handsome" leading man of his era for his rugged, masculine good looks that endeared him to millions of fans. 

Clark most frequently filmed with Joan Crawford, who was his favorite co-star and partner in eight films. He was also frequently paired with Myrna Loy (seven films), Jean Harlow (six films), and Lana Turner (four films). 

In 1999, the American Film Institute ranked Gable as the seventh greatest male screen legend of classical Hollywood cinema. (d. 1960)

Born on this day: Cesar Romero (15 February 1907 – 1 January 1994). The suavely handsome half Cuban Latin lover’s long career encompassed everything from co-starring with Marlene Dietrich in Josef von Sternberg’s 1936 masterpiece The Devil is a Woman to dancing with Carmen Miranda to portraying Zorro in the fifties to playing The Joker in the campy sixties Batman TV series (pictured) to co-starring with Divine and Tab Hunter in Paul Bartel’s Lust in the Dust (1984) to appearing in episodes of Murder She Wrote and Falcon Crest! Off-screen, the unapologetic “confirmed bachelor” regularly escorted friends like Joan Crawford, Barbara Stanwyck and Ginger Rogers to premieres and nightclubs when they were between husbands. As you can see here, Romero famously refused to shave his trademark mustache to play The Joker, instead concealing it (not very successfully!) with foundation.
