The other day I was going through some of my older blog posts, which shows how exciting my life is.

We've come across yet another thing Carole Lombard and Loretta Young had in common -- both were spokeswomen for 1847 Rogers Bros. silverware (they also hucked Lux soap, but didn't nearly every Golden Age actress?).

Happy Halloween to all! Three years ago, I did a little top 20 of my favourite films to watch on October 31st.

Less than a week ago, we reported an academically-oriented Carole Lombard book, "Becoming Carole Lombard," will be released in February (https://carole-and-co.livejournal.com/1040968.html).
