Gable died in 1960 of a massive heart attack in Los Angeles, at the age of 59. He also stars in The Dead Zone, a television series based on the Stephen King novel. Gable's last film was The Misfits, which also featured Marilyn Monroe in her last screen performance.

She was the mother of Gable's posthumous son and only legitimate child, born in 1961. Hall starred in Hail Caesar, a film about a would-be rock star who works in a pencil eraser factory, which Hall also directed.

His fifth wife was Kathleen Williams, a thrice-married former fashion model and stock actress from the town of North East, Pennsylvania. After a string of bizarre behavior, a tour in rehabilitation for alcoholism, and late puberty, a far more athletic Hall appeared in Tim Burton's Edward Scissorhands, this time playing the part of the villain. His second wife had been Texas socialite Marie Franklin, and his fourth was British Sylvia Lady Stanley, the widow of Douglas Fairbanks, Sr. He appeared as a regular on Saturday Night Live at the age of 17, the youngest cast member ever. During the next ten years, he made films which did not match the quality of his earlier roles.

It was not really successful, and MGM did not renew his contract in view of his high salary.
