Carole as cat lady
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Jan 5, 2016
Carole Lombard adored animals, owning a managerie of species during her relatively brief lifetime. One wonders how she would have reacted to the current term "cat lady," which these days as often as not is preceded by the perjorative adjective "crazy."Lombard probably wouldn't have sought that title read more

Visiting milady's lair
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Jan 2, 2016
Carole Lombard gave the moviegoing public a photographic open house of her new residence on Hollywood Boulevard in the spring of 1934, and why not? It was a major step uomop for her in the filmland hierarchy...especially since the (rented) mansion was designed by former silent star William Haines. R read more

From the last session...74 years ago today
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Dec 31, 2015
New Year's Eve fell on a Wednesday in 1941, as America -- not to mention Carole Lombard and the film industry -- was still reeling from the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor 24 days earlier, which plunged the U.S. into a two-pronged war. (Germany declared war on the U.S. on Dec. 8, the same day Americ read more

Carole and Fred have 'magnetic appeal'
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Dec 30, 2015
And in this case, it's both a literal and figurative sense. Carole Lombard and Fred MacMurray are shown in a still from "Hands Across the Table" (1935), and it's been captured on a 2" x 3" magnet -- and the eBay seller's name is, appropriately, "magneticappeal."Here's how the seller touts it:See tha read more

'Herald'-ing 'Bolero'
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Dec 29, 2015
With the Production Code drawing ever closer to strict enforcement in the first few months of 1934 (it came to be in July), Carole Lombard showed off her sexy side in "Bolero." Not only did she dance sensually with George Raft (with whom she did the horizontal dance off-screen), but earlier in the read more

'Screenland,' October 1935: Lots of Lombard, plus Garbo talks (for real)
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Dec 28, 2015
Nearly a year ago, on Jan 7 and 8, I ran two entries focusing on the October 1935 issue of Screenland, which included all sorts of goodies: A terrific Carole Lombard cover portrait by CHarles Gates Sheldon, accompanied by a fine profile of her by media friend Elizabeth WIlson (both at http://carole- read more

'Silver Screen,' May 1932: An issue that slipped through the cracks
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Dec 27, 2015
Not in a figurative sense, mind you, not with Carole Lombard gracing the cover. Nor is it in a literal sense -- yes, the Depression was in full throttle, but this issue of Silver Screen had plenty of advertising. It's simply an issue that we somehow ignored for some time, probably because it wasn't read more

While you wait for Michelle's book...
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Dec 26, 2015
Apparently Carole Lombard is reading a script or something work-related (the setting looks to be her dressing room). Many of Carole's fans are counting the days until Michelle Morgan's biography "Carole Lombard: Twentieth-Century Star" is released next September in Britain. (I'm unsure if it will ha read more

Ole...it's Carole, the senorita
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Dec 24, 2015
Was Carole Lombard cognizant of how popular she was in Latin America? As early as the late 1920s, Carole graced covers of Spanish-language magazines, and seemingly got more attention from them than from their English-language counterparts.With Lombard's uncanny sense of public relations, I'd say the read more
