Sold for $ 850,000 Below are pictures of the original home in 1959 When Clark Gable married Kay Williams Spreckels on July 11, 1955, his home for nearly twenty years had been a ranch in California’s San Fernando Valley, where he had lived with his late wife, Carole Lombard. But Kay, an elegant blonde with dazzling blue eyes who was divorced from millionaire sugar magnate Adolph Spreckels II, had two small children, and the ranch was not built with children in mind. In addition, the vast property had simply become too great a responsibility. “Something was always breaking down,” Kay once recalled. “Clark would grab some tools and fix whatever it was. The place was too big.” They decided to relocate. Gable had recently taken up golf, and so the search was on for a house not far from superior links. The couple chose a new development in the community of Bermuda Dunes, near Palm Springs, which abutted the private one-hundred-and-sixty-acre Bermuda Dunes Golf Club. One of the main attractions of the area was the dry climate. Daily life was leisurely and centered around pools and golf courses. The Gables’ new house was fairly modest compared with celebrity homes in Los Ange­les. Constructed of white-painted brick and contemporary in style, it occupied a lot just under one acre. But it enjoyed a vista of sand dunes, exotic cactuses and magnificent sunrises and sunsets that they could watch from their patio, which opened onto the pool area where the Gables would soon do much of their entertaining. Decorated by Harry and Edlene La Chance, two of the film colony’s leading interior designers, the house was awash in desert colors shades of white, beige and cactus green accented with deep burnt oranges and sunny yellows. The dining room had a large pedestal table and bamboo chairs; they used a second table in what they called the game area for playing board games on evenings when they were alone. Gable had been willingly and happily domesticated by Kay (whom he affectionately referred to as Kathleen). Her taste was apparent in every room, from the fresh flowers that were always on view to the objects d’art and silver serving pieces.
