Family of Loretta Young claim she was date-raped by Clark Gable

Loretta Young was one of the most beautiful actresses to have ever lived, but according to her family, she died with a terrible secret. In 1935, Young was working on Call of the Wild with Clark Gable. The pair became close during filming and shortly after the film wrapped, Young discovered she was pregnant. The actress went to great lengths to cover it up. Before her death, the paternity of her daughter Judy became public, however until now the real story behind the circumstances of the pregnancy have only just surfaced.

That’s what happened between me and Clark.

Loretta Young reportedly said in response to being told what ‘date-rape’ meant.

According to Young’s daughter-in-law Linda Lewis, the actress was a devout Catholic with a strong sense of right and wrong. Ms Lewis claimed the pregnancy was a result of a rape at the hands of Clark Gable.She said Young, who was 85 at the time, asked Lewis while they were watching a TV show that was discussing the topic of date rape, to explain to her what it meant. When she heard her reply, Young responded: 'That’s what happened between me and Clark.’ The family kept quiet well after Judy’s death in 2011 at 78-years-old. However, Ms Lewis and her husband Chris, Loretta Young’s son with her second husband, have decided to go public.

Judy is not here to be hurt by this.

Loretta Young’s daughter-in-law Linda Lewis said.
