Clark Gable (1901-1960) won his only Academy Award for Best Actor in 1934 for his role as newspaper reporter Peter Warne in It Happened One Night. His other memorable roles included his Oscar-nominated performances as Fletcher Christian in Mutiny on the Bounty (1935) and Rhett Butler in Gone With the Wind (1939), which resulted in Gable being named "The King of Hollywood". Gable appeared in 15 films, including documentaries he made during his service in WWII (he joined Army Air Corps, where he served as a tail gunner, after his third wife, Carole Lombard, was killed in a plane crash in 1942). Gable died on November 16, 1960 at age 59 just two days after the completion of his final film, The Misfits (released in 1961).

Nominated for the 1951 Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress (The Blue Veil), Joan Blondell (1906-1979) starred in films and on Broadway. She was starring on Broadway with James Cagney in 1929's Penny Arcade, and reprised her role in the 1930 film version, the first of six films (including Public Enemy, 1931) that she would make with Cagney. Her memorable films include A Tree Grows in Brooklyn (1945) and The Cincinnati Kid (1965). Blondell also appeared in several made-for-TV movies, was a featured performer on two series (Here Come the Brides, as Lottie, 1968-1970; Banyon, as Peggy Revere, 1972-1973) and made a number of TV guest appearances from 1951 through May 1979.

Greer Garson (1908-1996) won the Best Actress Oscar for Mrs. Miniver (1942) and received six other nominations (including 5 in a span of 7 years): Goodbye Mr. Chips (1939), Blossoms in the Dust (1941), Madame Curie (1943), Mrs. Parkington (1944), The Valley of Decision (1945) and Sunrise at Campobello (as Eleanor Roosevelt, 1960). Her last appearance was as Aunt Kathryn March in Little Women (1978).
