TURNER

Gable & Crawford

Lana Turner appeared with Clark Gable in four films at MGM, becoming a sensational box office team during the 1940s. There was a sensual chemistry between both stars on the screen. One critic said of the teaming that it was like watching an alley cat with a sex kitten.  In 1941 Gable was 40 and Lana Turner was 21, and she was the hottest property at MGM.  Off-screen during their first film together there had been an affair but the tragic death of Carole Lombard in 1942 put a stop to it. Gable felt terribly guilty about it. Later on the stars simply became good friends.
