Harlequin Hottie: Vintage Collection

Clark Gable as Rhett Butler in GWTW

Gone with the Wind is a timeless classic, as is its dastardly dashing male lead Clark Gable, this week’s Vintage Harlequin Hottie!

If you don’t already know the story of GWTW you need to Netflix it pronto (or read the epic novel it was based on).

There’s never been such a seductively attractive bad boy as Rhett Butler (Clark’s character). He’s a bootlegging badass who decides to make his fortune on the black market rather than fighting for the Confederate cause during the American Civil War. He’s got money, influence and power and he’s not at all what a seemingly respectable girl like Scarlett O’Hara (Vivien Leigh in the movie) should want in a gentleman caller or a husband. His devilishly handsome good looks and his wicked charm prove ultimately irresistible.

Watch the trailer to see Clark in action. Swoooooooon.




Close runner-up: Christopher Plummer circa the Sound of Music years.

Who’s your favourite vintage hottie?

  1. I love that you are talking about this classic. Gone With the Wind is amazing in every way. And, I agree, Clark Gable was quite swoon worthy.
