editIt says that Clark Gable and Loretta Young had a child. I asked my grandmother and she said that it was never proven. Is she correct? If so, it needs to be removed from Judy Lewis. Mike H 00:54, Aug 5, 2004 (UTC)
You can give Grannie the news: it's true. Judy Lewis had always said her biological parents were Clark Gable and Loretta Young, and that her "adoption" by Loretta Young and her husband Thomas Lewis was a ruse designed to preserve Loretta's image. Loretta Young had denied this, but almost no one believed her because Judy so strongly resembles both her parents. All doubt was removed with the posthumous publication of Loretta Young’s memoirs, in which she admitted the affair and confirmed Judy Lewis’s version. - Nunh-huh 04:38, 26 Sep 2004 (UTC)
That is true. I've read Judy Lewis's memoir as well as Young's last authorized biography, which give the "rumor" more than enough credibility. Remember, during the 1930's Hollywood was massively bombarded by moral crusaders (such as religious groups and right-wing politicians) who were destined to rid the film industry of its bad behavior. It would have been mandatory to hide a scandal like that. Glad I can give you more insight.
Ofcourse this article is true, you can easily access a picture of Judy Lewis via google I think its obvious who her father is from direct resemblance. Following reading Judy's memoirs I emailed her congratulating her on her book. She replied to my email and is a very kind hearted person, who has been denied her heritage long enough. As said above it was proven in Loretta Youngs posthumous memoirs also. To summarise google her photograph which speaks for itself, and no her heritage should not be removed! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.20.79.141 (talk) 17:31, 11 April 2011 (UTC)

Although I realize there are many sources supporting the idea that her father was Clark Gable, unless there is a DNA test, it will never be 100% certain. Tad Lincoln (talk) 08:31, 15 October 2011 (UTC)
It is true. No DNA test needed. Why would Loretta Young go through the trouble to do all this to Judy if it were not true? Loretta Young even admits it in her own autobiography. Remember times were different back then,not like today. And then there is the fact that she looks like Clark Gable. Coincidence, I think not.--99.177.248.92 (talk) 03:51, 14 November 2011 (UTC)

Date rape claim
editThe claim that Loretta Young was date raped by Clark Gable is based on hearsay and rumor. Loretta probably had consensual sex with Clark Gable, and regretted it and decades later claimed it was "rape", also a DNA paternity test would have to have been done to confirm that Clark Gable was actually the father of her child. A lot of these Hollywood actresses including Loretta Young had sex with lots of men, it was consensual, and not forced, rape, date rape, etc.
The date rape claim is based on rumor and should be deleted. 100.14.45.114 (talk) 20:30, 22 September 2024 (UTC)
