Clark Gable Screen Worn Suit
Plaid suit, consisting of a jacket and pants, worn by Golden Age superstar Clark Gable. Includes a label on the inner jacket pocket with Gable's name written in faded ink, above an unreadable date. The pants have a Western Costume Company stamp on one of the inner pockets with a further "Mr. Gable" handwritten into the lining. Gable is best known for his portrayal of Rhett Butler in Gone with the Wind and also appeared in such classics as Mutiny on the Bounty (as Mr. Christian, alongside Charles Laughton's Captain Bligh), It Happened One Night and his final film The Misfits, which was also the last screen appearance of Marilyn Monroe. Gable was also a major in the American Air Force and flew five combat missions during World War II, winning the Air Medal and the Distinguished Flying Cross.
