Judy Lewis was born Judy Young on November 6, 1935. Her parents were the actors Loretta Young and Clark Gable. Because of the morality clause in both their contracts and the fact that Clark Gable was married, Loretta Young brought Judy up as her adopted daughter. When Judy was 4 her mother married Thomas Lewis. Even though Judy carries his last name he never adopted her. By the time Judy was 9 she had 2 half brothers, Christopher Paul and Peter Charles. One day when she was 15 she came home from school to find that Clark Gable was in her living room. She did not question it-- her mother made 2 movies with him so they must be friends. She went to go get ready for a date, but instead talked to Clark Gable for hours, not knowing that he was her father. She would not know this fact until about 20 years later. When she was 17 she was engaged to Russel Hughes, a "common man" as her grandmother put it. Nobody in her family liked him. She was forsed to go for a year to school in New York. When she came home she expected to marry the man she loved, but a few years later ended up marring Joseph L. Tinney. She had her daughter Maria on November 16, 1959, a few days after her 24th birthday. Exactly a year later her father died. Joe had told her that her father was Clark Gable before they got married, but she did not belive it. She wanted to go see her father, but she had no absolute proof that he was her father so she did not. In the early 1970's she and her husband got divorced. She moved between California and New York alot. She went back to school to become a psychologist. In April of 1986 her daughter got married to Daniel Dagit and in 1989 they had a son, Michael, and in 1994 Gregory. Also in 1994 she wrote a book about her life called Uncommon Knowledge.
