Dark Secret Revealed: Loretta Young Allegedly ‘Date Raped’ by Clark Gable Resulting in a Daughter

Loretta Young, the stunning Hollywood actress who captivated audiences with her beauty, carried a hidden truth to her grave in 2000.

Back in 1935, while filming “Call of the Wild” with the then 34-year-old and married Clark Gable, Young discovered she was pregnant after their close relationship during the production.

Despite Young's efforts to conceal her pregnancy, the paternity of her daughter Judy became public knowledge before her death.

However, the full story behind Judy's conception has only recently come to light.

A devout Catholic known for her strong moral compass, Young reportedly confided in her daughter-in-law Linda Lewis about being a victim of date rape by Gable.

The revelation surfaced when Young, then 85 years old, learned about date rape from a TV show and connected it to her experience with Gable.

Although shocked by the revelation, Young's main concern had always been to shield Judy.

The family had kept the secret for years, but after Judy's passing in 2011, Lewis and her husband Chris decided to share the truth publicly.

Young, a child star who rose to fame in Hollywood, met Gable during the filming of “Call of the Wild,” where their bond deepened in the scenic wilderness near Mount Baker.

Known to engage in on-set flirtations, Young maintained strict moral values due to past heartbreaks and religious convictions.

Despite her playful interactions with Gable, Young, scarred by previous failed relationships and spiritual fears, had resisted romantic advances from co-stars.

The turning point came during a train journey back from Seattle to Los Angeles when Gable allegedly entered Young's compartment, leading to her unexpected pregnancy.

Young went to great lengths to conceal her condition, eventually giving birth to Judy in secret.

Gable, uninvolved in Judy's life, disregarded the news of her birth, leaving Young to navigate motherhood alone.

Amid persistent rumors of an affair, Young orchestrated a discreet adoption process for Judy, striving to protect her from the harsh reality of her origins.

Years later, Young disclosed the truth of Judy's parentage when she turned 23, ensuring she never discovered the circumstances of her conception.

With the spotlight on historic rape cases, Lewis has now chosen to shed light on Young's ordeal, underscoring the urgency to address unresolved injustices.
