The King: A Biography of Clark Gable by Charles Samuels is an intimate portrait of the man that shaped Hollywood and the motion picture industry for many decades.

Clark Gable was often referred to as "The King of Hollywood." His career lasted more than three decades and he had roles in more than 60 motion pictures.

This is a full unfiltered look at a man with a humble beginning in Ohio and his less than meteoric rise to fame. Through his early struggles as an actor and the many loves of his life, the heart and soul of who Clark Gable was, as an icon and as a man, is explored here.

A consummate professional with a larger than life personality, he led a life that many envied, few understood, but was full of love, adventure, and accomplishment.

Originally published in 1961 and written by Charles Samuels, this biography will give you a rare glimpse into Hollywood history and the man who transformed an industry.

Charles Samuels was a journalist and biographer of many celebrity biographies including those of Tex Rickard, Ethel Waters and other celebrities.
