(covers information from several alternate timelines)
Clark Gable was a historical figure in Earth history. He was an actor in 20th century movies.
Edith Keeler mentioned him to both James Kirk and Leonard McCoy during their visit to Earth, in the year 1930, saying that one of his movies was playing at the Orpheum. Both men knew nothing of the actor, a fact Keeler considered extraordinary – and that inadvertently led to their reunion, and Keeler's death. (TOS: "The City on the Edge of Forever")
In an alternate 2374, when the USS Voyager was severely damaged by the Krenim, B'Elanna Torres wrongly assumed she had seen Gable starring in the 1955 movie To Catch a Thief twice, when in fact it had been Cary Grant. Harry Kim believed that this mistake came from the identical initials of the two, C.G. (VOY: "Year of Hell")
