A confession about 'Confessions': I'd like to see this
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Nov 13, 2015
I've frequently come across this cover of Carole Lombard from the April 1936 issue pf True Confessions -- and each time I do, I always wonder how Carole felt about being associated with a topic such as birth control, which still was a controversial subject in 1936. (And this was some two dozen years read more

Through this watch with Carole Lombard's portrait on it. (And a rather elegant portrait it is.)What do we know about this timepiece?

Yep, that's glamour!
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Nov 11, 2015
The seller describes this as a "1930s glamour photo postcard" of Carole Lombard, and who are we to argue? It's gorgeous, probably from sometime in the mid-1930s, and from the font used for her name, it looks to be from Germany's famed Ross-Verlag company (http://carole-and-co.livejournal.com/52279.h read more

She's been framed! (And colorized!)
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Nov 10, 2015
"Twentieth Century" is generally regarded as Carole Lombard's breakthrough movie, the film where she showed she could stand toe-to-toe with acting titan John Barrymore and even give him a kick (as seen above). An artifact of Lombard from that time now is available on eBay -- a framed black-and-white read more

Another case for Carole (13 of them, in fact)
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Nov 9, 2015
No, not that kind of case, especially since it provoked a not-so-heavenly response from the afterlife Carole Lombard (http://carole-and-co.livejournal.com/50359.html). Instead, we're referring to cases you can use to carry currency, credit cards...even cigarettes if you still indulge in the tobacco read more

She's starring in the 'Talkies'
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Nov 8, 2015
By early 1931, when Carole Lombard was beginning to climb the ladder of stardom at Paramount Pictures with features such as "It Pays to Advertise," the term "talkies" to specifically refer to motion pictures with sound was rapidly heading towards oblivion. And why not? Only a few theaters in remote read more

Once removed from a Ziegfeld girl?
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Nov 7, 2015
Carole Lombard -- shown changing trains in Chicago on Sept. 15 1934 -- could have been a Ziegfeld girl. "With her figure and beauty, of course she could have," many of you probably are saying. But no, I'm not being hypothetical.According to Lombard biographer Larry Swindell, author Ben Hecht said Ne read more

Two ways to 'cover' a 'True Story'
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Nov 6, 2015
Carole Lombard's star was burning brightly in the spring of 1937, so why wouldn't magazines not deemed Hollywood fanmags place her on the cover -- even when she wasn't part of anything inside?That's what happened when the Bernarr Macfadden publication True Story made Carole its cover subject for its read more

A pressbook with 'Forever' changes, and welcome back, 'Mom'
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Nov 4, 2015
Carole Lombard's 1934 release "Now and Forever" was planned as a vehicle for her and Gary Cooper, their second teaming at Paramount (their first, the 1931 release "I Take This Woman," has been seen by relatively few since its rescue from near-oblivion a decade and a half ago). But during production, read more
Welcome back Anna, and welcome back, 'Mom'
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Nov 4, 2015
Carole Lombard and Goldie Hawn long have been among my favorite actresses for their comedic brilliance, sex appeal, likability and intelligence both on and off screen. In recent years, we've found a worthy heir to the Lombard-Hawn tradition, and that is......Anna Faris, who's had some success on the read more
