Loretta Young: Ad
built 255 days ago
Known by such nicknames as Attila the Nun and Saint Loretta, Loretta Young was famous for being a devout Catholic and beatific demeanor. However, she had an affair with Clark Gable during the filming of Call of the Wild that produced an illegitimate daughter. To ward off scandal, Loretta had her daughter in seclusion and told everyone that the girl had been adopted. It wasn't until years later that the truth came out.

In 1935, Young had an affair with Clark Gable, who was married at the time, while on location for The Call of the Wild. During their relationship, Young became pregnant. Due to the moral codes placed on the film industry Young covered up her pregnancy in order to avoid damaging her career (as well as Gable's). Returning from a long "vacation" (during which she secretly gave birth to her daughter), Young announced that she had adopted the little girl. The child was raised as "Judy Lewis" after taking the name of Young's second husband, producer Tom Lewis. According to Lewis's autobiography Uncommon Knowledge, Lewis was made fun of because of the ears that she received from her father, Clark Gable.

In these years, Young had the challenge of playing women older than herself. In ``Platinum Blonde,'' for example, she was 18, playing a tough city-side reporter. In ``Big Business Girl'' (1931), she was an advertising executive. In ``They Call It Sin'' (1932), she was a successful composer; in ``Grand Slam'' (1933), a famous bridge player.
