克拉克·蓋博生於俄亥俄州哈里森縣（Harrison）加的斯，為德國移民後裔，出生後第7個月，他的母親去世。16歲的蓋博從高中畢業，開始在工廠工作。在看過一場令他非常感動的話劇後，他決定要成為一名演員。他奔走於幾家二流劇團，同時也做兼職的售貨員。
1924年，他得到劇團老闆約瑟芬·狄隆的資助，前往好萊塢尋求發展。狄隆大過他十歲，是他的經紀人和第一任妻子。一開始，蓋博只飾演一些小角色，接著又回到劇團，到1930年，才與米高梅公司簽約。在隨後的幾年，他成功地出演了數部作品，使他迅速成為了好萊塢之王。
蓋博憑藉著1934年的《一夜風流》，獲得了奧斯卡最佳男主角獎。但是，他最著名的角色仍然是1939年的經典之作《亂世佳人》中的白瑞德，這部片使他獲得了奧斯卡最佳男主角的提名。在這之前，他也曾因1935年上演的《叛艦喋血記》獲得過同樣的提名。另外，蓋博也是在三部獲奧斯卡最佳影片獎的影片中出現的少有的天才演員。

1939年，女演員卡蘿·倫芭（Carole Lombard）成為了蓋博的第三位妻子，這位是蓋博一生摯愛，儘管蓋博與倫芭分別是美國共和黨與民主黨支持者，他們仍舊維持幸福的婚姻。然而，好夢不長，他的妻子喪命於一次空難。蓋博深受打擊，便開始在美國陸軍航空軍服役，擔任B-17轟炸機的觀察員兼機槍手，曾受頒飛行優異十字勳章（Distinguished Flying Cross）、航空勳章（Air Medal），官階至少校。二戰後，他返回影壇的第一部作品是1945年的《冒險》，然而這部作品並不成功，米高梅公司考慮到他的高額薪酬，並未與他續約。在之後的十年間，蓋博拍攝了數部影片，但未達到他早年的水準。
他的第二任妻子是德克薩斯州名媛瑪麗·弗蘭克林，第四任是道格拉斯·費厄幫克斯爵士的遺孀斯坦利夫人。第五任妻子是來自賓夕法尼亞州東北鎮的凱薩琳·威廉士，一位結過三次婚的前時裝模特。她在1961年為蓋博生下了一個遺腹子，他也是蓋博唯一的嫡親子女。
蓋博最後的一部影片是《亂點鴛鴦譜》（The Misfits），這也是瑪麗蓮·夢露的遺作。蓋博在1960年因心肌梗塞在洛杉磯去世，享年59歲。他葬於加利福尼亞州戈蘭黛爾的林蔭紀念公園中，緊鄰著他的一生摯愛妻子卡蘿·倫芭。
Clark Gable was born in Cadiz, Harrison County, Ohio, a descendant of German immigrants. His mother died in the 7th month after birth. The 16-year-old Gable graduated from high school and started working in the factory. After watching a drama that moved him very much, he decided to become an actor. He ran for several second-rate theater companies and also worked as a part-time salesperson.
In 1924, he received funding from the troupe owner Josephine Dillon and went to Hollywood to seek development. Dillon was ten years older than him and was his agent and first wife. In the beginning, Gable played only small roles, then returned to the theater company, and only signed with MGM in 1930. In the following years, he successfully starred in several works, making him quickly the king of Hollywood.
Gable won the Oscar for Best Actor for his "One Night of Love" in 1934. However, his most famous role is still Bryder in the 1939 classic "Gone with the Wind", which earned him an Oscar nomination for best actor. Prior to this, he had received the same nomination for "The Mutiny on Blood" staged in 1935. In addition, Gable is also a rare talented actor who appeared in three Oscar-winning films.
