Publisher's Summary:

A one-person play about the life and times of Clark Gable.

"...we actually forget our surroundings and believe we're listening to Gable's life story." (News Enterprise)

For nearly 30 years, Clark Gable was "the King" of Hollywood. Female fans swooned, and male admirers were made envious of his unaffected masculinity. Through jaunty, self-assured performances in films like It Happened One Night, San Francisco, Mutiny on the Bounty, and Gone with the Wind, he carved a niche for himself as the quintessential American movie star.

The play is set on the Nevada location of Gable's last picture, The Misfits. While waiting for his perennially tardy co-star, Marilyn Monroe, to arrive on the set, Gable reminisces about his Horatio Alger life and career, touching on his stormy relationship with his oil wildcatter father, his marriages to older women, his numerous affairs, and his great love, wife Carole Lombard, who died in a 1942 plane crash...a tragedy from which Gable never recovered.

"Insightful", "funny", and "racy" are words that audiences have used to describe Michael B. Druxman's Gable.

Members Reviews:

Big Ears - Big Career

Mr Druxman never lets us forget that these American Silver Screen icons are real people.This one with a

troublesome childhood and troublesome 'adulthood.' If it wasn't for the women who saw possibility

in him and did a sort of Pygmalian number someone else would surely have filled "the King of Hollywood's" shoes

but it wouldn't be this guy with the big ears and big brawn. Fascinating for a reader or for an actor to

interpret and keep in his repertoire. And with Druxman's humor - so entertaining.

One Act Plays

Michael B. Druxman has written several of these one act plays and they are well written and fun to read.

Okay and would recommend

I came away feeling Gable wasn"t a happy man. No too bad a read and worth the time. The author did follow his life well.

Ain't no king here.....

.....just a guy who woke up one morning to find himself a star. I really loved this play and didn't expect to even like it! With a lovely soft touch it tells us more than the length would forecast about a flawed man who became loved by millions (including new ones everyday), yet never knew why. Forget about all the bios - some truly awful - and read what Mr. Gable would have likely written himself. Thanks, Mr. Druxman.

A Rip-Off

All Druxman does is copy other biographies about Clark Gable & then put the words in Gable's mouth as if he's saying them. A real waste of time & money.
