Above is George Raft, in the heat of dance passion with Carole Lombard in a still from their 1934 movie "Bolero." (Raft knew something about passion away from the dance floor, too; Lombard privately told friends that strictly in a sexual sense, he was the best lover she ever had.) The back of the pi read more

A guy, a gal, a horse
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Nov 22, 2015
But when the "guy" is Clark Gable and the "gal" Carole Lombard, you know the pic is something special. And it is, an image I've never come across before. Fortunately, there'w a snipe on the back, so we know a bit more aobut it:It's an MGM photo (we know it's not from RKO, Carole's home studio in 193 read more

Happy 70th, Goldie!
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Nov 21, 2015
Carole Lombard's sex appeal was apparent to all in this semi-risque pose for Pathe photographer William E. Thomas in the late 1920s...but as time went on, Lombard proved she had far more to offer, both as an actress and as a person.The same can be said for the subject of today's entry, a worthy heir read more

She's got your ('Safety in) Number(s')
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Nov 20, 2015
This was among the very first publicity photos of Carole Lombard that Paramount Pictures ever issued. It was made as part of the keybook for "Safety in Numbers," shot at its Hollywood studio in January 1930 and released that June.Later that year, Lombard would travel to New York for "Fast and Loose" read more

Look where we found a Lombard program!
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Nov 19, 2015
In the several years we've searched for programs from Carole Lombard movies, we've discovered them in all sorts of places -- not just in the U.S. and Canada, but in many other countries -- Egypt, China and India to name a few..But here's one from a country I doubted we'd ever find. It's for "Nothing read more

So what's funny? Not much from the '30s, apparently
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Nov 18, 2015
Carole Lombard escorts hobo William Powell to the scavenger hunt early on in the 1936 classic "My Man Godfrey." It's justly considered one of the great screwball comedies of all time...except, perhaps, to some Hollywood screenwriters.What?The Writers Guild of America recently polled its members to d read more

Beginning the reign of the Rex
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Nov 17, 2015
One presumes Carole Lombard was in a slightly better mood than this when she sent a congratulatory telegram to the owners of the new Rex Theater in Pensacola, Fla., for its opening night in November 1937:And why not? She had jusr finished her latest film, "True Confession," which would premiere hot read more

Might Thelma's cafe meet its demise, too?
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Nov 16, 2015
Just as we imagined with Carole Lombard and Jean Harlow a few years ago (http://carole-and-co.livejournal.com/387404.html), it isn't difficult to envision Lombard and Thelma Todd having each other's careers as actresses. Both were smart, attractive blondes with good senses of humor and both were tra read more

See the Crest of vintage architecture -- just as Jane Peters did
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Nov 15, 2015
Yes, she did -- and the future Carole Lombard is shown in 1919, at age 10 or possibly 11 and probably already movie-mad at the time. (Her first actual work as a film actress wouldn't come for another two years.) But this wasn't taken in Hollywood, nor anywhere within the city limits of Los Angeles; read more

Picture 'Godfrey'...lots and lots of Godfrey
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Nov 14, 2015
Not to mention Irene Bullock (Carole Lombard) and the rest of that wonderfully daffy family confounding William Powell's Godfrey, such as her parents, played by Alice Brady and Eugene Pallette...Now you can picture them in original singleweight stills from this screwball comedy classic -- 20 picture read more
