Where was Joey Greco when all this happened?

Drugs. Poor guy. Look at his grandfather's legacy and look what he was doing. I'd self medicate too.

We hardly knew ya, Clark Gable's grandson. We didn't know you at all, not even your name, not ever after you died. Still just someone's grandson.

Vivien Leigh said Clark had horrifically bad breath and she dreaded having to film kissing scenes with him.

I knew who he was because I've watched he and his team do a sneak attack on naked people when I was sleepless at 2 in the morning. Watching that show made me feel pathetic and gross and I didn't know he was Clark Gables' grandson. Very bland and expressionless. Tried to make the people on the show feel and bad and betrayed as possible.

The ears in the photo are as flat against the head as possible so I can understand the grandson relying on the name and not the face for recognition. I feel for his mother, sister, girlfriend and daughter though.

Wait, this garbage show ran for FIFTEEN seasons? The IMDB reviews are a hoot, with titles like "Vigorously Depressing and Sleazy" and "So Great the Host Got Stabbed."

the tattoos and the hard troubled look on his face spelled doom, so drug death not surprising to me. Clark Gable Sr died before his son was born and his mother was in her 40 s and I wouldnt guess was much of a discipliarian as she had heart problems practically from Clark Juniors birth so I would suggest the grandson probably got the same kind of haphazard upbringing as the son..........

also, Clark Gable sr didnt leave all that large of an estate and I suspect the primary asset was the Gables Encino estate. It was subdivided after she sold the property. She was Kay Spreckles before marrying Clark and her previous husband was heir to a sugar fortune but given the modest way she lived out her final years in ill health in Houston, she probably didnt take Spreckels to the cleaners so to speak.

I'm still in shock that Joey Greco claims to be heterosexual.

Very sad. He was very handsome. I feel badly for his family.

Sad. No official news report it was drugs, but....

Here's his father, Clark Gable's son. He acted a bit as well.

The grandson looks more like Sr. than than the son does.

I watched the son being interviewed on the Tonight Show when Carson hosted. Clark Jr. seemed incredibly dim, and I could tell even as a kid.

This was an odd piece of the puzzle. From the gf:

“According to Heather, shortly after they separated, she received a call from the hospital that Clark had been stabbed in the lung. Opens a New Window.

“It was terrifying,” she said.

Trouble didn’t stop there for the host. “His lung got infected and collapsed,” Heather revealed exclusively to Radar. “He had a surgery at the time and it was just so hard on him and It was hard to watch him suffer.”

He seemed very uncomfortable on Cheaters. But I did love the sleaze tat he had.

Is that Peter Herman in the picture with Rita in the lower left side of her mirror at the end of the second episode?

VH1 runs a long block of CHEATERS from late Friday night until well into Saturday afternoon. I'd watch it occasionally because I always kind of like sleazeball Joey Greco, but was surprised to see "Clark Gable" hosting it. Had no idea he was related to THE Clark Gable. No one on the show ever reacted to his name during the "confrontation" scenes, which I thought was kind of weird. He was tatted beyond belief and had a very flat affect both as the host and when interviewing subjects. 30 is a little young to go, though.

CHEATERS is still kind of a guilty pleasure, though; they have a fair amount of gay relationships gone bad, with drag/wig pulling, and shade thrown. I think they are still filmed in Dallas.

I too watch the block of "Cheaters" on VH1 on the weekends. I loved the first host(though I can't think of his name to save my life) and Joey is hilariously sleazy and oh so serious about promoting "fidelity between partners;" but I had never seen Clark Gable until a few weeks ago. I actually thought it was tacky of him to be using a screen legend's name. Now I get it.

The grandson had his grandfather’s eyes.

Of course “Cheaters” denizens wouldn’t react to Clark Gable’s name. No one under 50 knows who he was.

The King is largely forgotten today as are most of the stars of that era.

R26 That is a gross assumption and generalization of young people and millennials period. I'm 30 years old and I know exactly who clark gable is and have so for the majority of my life. A huge part of the TCM audience is made up of young people, believe it or not. I've been watching the channel since I was a kid and have always been infatuated with cinema from the 20th century. Not everyone loves these huge blockbuster CG1 comic book movies that are put out every summer.

I love cinematic stories from last century and always have and will. Your very wrong about old hollywood being forgotten by anyone under 50. It's far from it. I also can't wait for the new academy museum of motion picture arts center to open in los Angeles. I'm not sure if it has opened yet. But I'm looking forward to going there.

by Anonymousreply 31March 1, 2019 3:44 PM

^^^ It's not open yet but is in the building stage. I agree. I prefer old movies, noir, dramas from the 30s to the 70s. I hate the blockbusters and super hero movies of today. Nothing more boring. I'd rather watch a foreign film with subtitles then watch the dreck out there now.

Trash through and through. Look at his fame whoring Instagram. Sorry but old Hollywood class has no place with gutter sluts like Paris Hilton. He should of just been a Realtor or something. Cheaters is one of the slimiest shows on tv.

R12, Clark Gable's estate was substantial at the time of his death - about $100 million adjusted for inflation. His gun collection alone was valued at around $500,000.

If it's any consolation R5, many of the episodes were faked. There weren't enough truly jilted people to keep production going. One of the producers lived in my friend's condo complex in Dallas. The producer asked my friend if he'd like to be on the show in a fake cheating situation. I begged him to do it but my friend is very shy and turned the offer down.
