Maria Tinney is the granddaughter of Loretta Young. Maria Tinney’s mother, Judy Lewis was conceived while her birth parents, Loretta Young and Clark Gable, were working on the film Call of the Wild. Gable was married at the time of Lewis’s conception, and Young concealed her pregnancy to avoid scandal. Weeks after her birth, Lewis was placed in an orphanage. Lewis would spend the next 19 months in various “hideaways and orphanages” before being reunited with her mother.

Young then claimed that she had adopted Lewis. When Lewis was four years old, Young married radio producer Tom Lewis, and Judy took his last name. Young and Lewis went on to have two sons, Christopher Lewis and Peter Lewis.

After Maria Tinney’s mother, Lewis became engaged to her father, Tinney at age twenty-three, he told her it was common knowledge that Gable was her biological father; Lewis was stunned. After Gable’s death, Lewis, at age 31, finally confronted her mother about the mystery behind her parentage. Her mother said, “YES you are my sin.” Young became nauseated but acknowledged that she and Gable were Lewis’s biological parents. In 1994, Lewis published a book about her life entitled Uncommon Knowledge in which she stated that Gable was her father
