The baby film star Loretta Young adopted at 19 months has grown up and written a book about her mommy dearest.
"Uncommon Knowledge" by Judy Lewis, to be published next week by Pocket Books, says Young actually was Lewis' biological mother and Clark Gable was her father. Lewis writes that she does not blame her mother, now 81, for the deception because a hint of that she had given birth out of wedlock would have destroyed her Hollywood career a generation ago."There is no way she could have been open in 1935," Lewis said. "Both of them would have lost their careers, so she did what she had to do and Gable honored her wishes."
"I met him once, when I was 15 and he came to visit. I kept wondering why Clark Gable was interested in me."
