Baby making and adoption faking
Clark Gable and Loretta Young co-starred in the 1935 film The Call of the Wild. The actors were romantically involved during their time on set and Loretta became pregnant with Clark’s child. For the sake of the film and their reputations, this had to remain a secret.
The starlet left the country for an ‘extended holiday’ while pregnant, then took her newborn baby to an orphanage in California. Later, Loretta returned to ‘adopt’ a baby in need. People quickly realized the child looked a lot like Loretta and Clark… and the secret was out.
