Clark Gable and Loretta Young
“The Call of The Wild” (1935)

This sounds like it was a huge scandal at the time. I read an excerpt from their daughter’s book, available on her website, and she wasn’t aware that she was Gable and Young’s biological child until her husband told her about the rumors when she was in her 30s.

[Call of The Wild] Indeed. He was married and she a devout Catholic, but their passion got the better of them on the set. Young went on a long trip to Europe, months passed and she announced she was “adopting” a daughter, Judy — who grew up to look just like mom and Clark Gable. Judy Lewis detailed all in her book, ‘Uncommon Knowledge.’
