The woman at the centre of one of Hollywood's best kept secrets of the 20th century, Judy Lewis, has died at the age of 76.

The secret daughter of film legend Clark Gable and starlet Loretta Young only revealed who she really was in 1994.

Lewis, of Palm Springs, California, was raised in Los Angeles by Young as her adopted daughter.

She was an adult when she learned that Young, a devout Roman Catholic, was really her mother and conceived her during an affair with Gable in the 1930s.

2. "Lewis wrote that

Young left her with a nurse for months after her birth in 1935, and that she was then turned over to an orphanage.
When she was two, Young brought her home as her adopted daughter."

...

(Young said) "(But) he was married, so when I discovered I was pregnant with you, I was frantic and terrified.
"It would have ruined both our careers, a scandal like that."
