To a friend she lost too soon

This early Paramount still of Carole Lombard was taken in New York during the summer of 1930, while she was in town filming "Fast and Loose" at its Astoria, Queens studio.

They married, soon discovered they made better friend tha lovers...and so that's what they did, divorcing amicably but remaining close. So close, in fact, that soon after their split th read more

Delectable reviews for 'The Ice Cream Blonde'
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Dec 19, 2015
Why are we leading off today's entry with a picture of Carole Lombard pitching? Actually, the baseball term we want to use is "on deck," since Carole will be the next biographical subject of our good friend Michelle Morgan. But that book won't come to bat until next fall. Meanwhile, Michelle has The read more

Woof! Carol(e), and canine, in Culver
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Dec 18, 2015
Over the years, we've learned that in the late 1920s, Carole Lombard owned a handsome malamute dog named Basco. Most of us first "met" him via the following picture:Now, we've uncovered the image at the top of this entry -- Carole putting Basco through his paces...or, should we say, Carol (no "e"). read more

'Modern Screen,' September 1936: A cover, 'Godfrey' and more
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Dec 17, 2015
For some reason, I've never written about the September 1936 issue of Modern Screen with Carole Lombard on the cover. I probably overlooked it because there were no features on her inside, but that doesn't mean the inside is bereft of Lombard -- far from it. Universal was beginning its push for "My read more
