Phoning it in
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on May 10, 2017
Been awhile since I've examined eBay for Carole Lombard items -- I've had other things on my mind lately -- but I came across this piece I'd never seen before. I believe it's from "The Gay Bride," judging from the dress she has on, but I can't confirm anything from this pic.I do know it's an origina read more

A long time ago, in a Culver City far, far away...
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on May 2, 2017
This still from "To Be Or Not To Be" is the closest I could get to picturing Carole Lombard -- who never made a sci-fi film -- as Carrie Fisher's Princess Leia of "Star Wars" fame: Why do I bring this up? Because my Facebook friend Dan Day Jr. just did an entry for his "The Hitless Wonder Movie Blog read more

A kingly salute to Clark on TCM
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Apr 29, 2017
I wasn't yet born when Carole Lombard was alive, but Clark Gable and I shared the earth for several years -- in fact, I was a kindergarten student when he passed away in November 1960. But he's gained generations of fans in ensuing decades, largely because he played this, arguably the most iconic ro read more

A double dose of Lombard at the TCM Classic Film Festival
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Mar 23, 2017
It's arguably the most pivotal picture in Carole Lombard's career, the movie that turned her from a rather directionless all-purpose star into the screen's best-loved purveyor of screwball comedy. And "Twentieth Century" will be part of the 2017 TCM Classic Film Festival April 6-9 in Hollywood -- wh read more
