(December 13, 1924 - April 1, 1930) (divorced)
Josephine was 17 years older than Clarke. She was also Clarke's acting coach and a theatre manager. She even paid for him to get his teeth fixed and have his hair styled.
She spent considerable time training his naturally high-pitched voice, which Gable slowly managed to lower, and he gained better resonance and tone. As his speech habits improved, Gable`s facial expressions became more natural and convincing.After the long period of rigorous training, she eventually considered him ready to attempt a film career.
In 1930, after being given an MGM contract, they divorced. A few days later, he married Texas socialite Ria Franklin Prentiss Lucas Langham
