Despite his reluctance at the t...( read more)ime to appear in the role, Gable is best known for his performance as Rhett Butler in the 1939 classic Gone with the Wind, which earned him an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor. At the time, Gable was wary of potentially disappointing a public who had decided no one else could play the part. A few years before, Gable had also earned an Academy Award nomination for his role as Fletcher Christian in 1935's Mutiny on the Bounty.
