Once in love with Amy, er, Carole
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Oct 4, 2015
Well, whaddya think?Carole Lombard and Amy Poehler do have a sort of facial resemblance, I believe. I wouldn't be surprised if Amy is a fan of Carole's work, and I like to think that somewhere in the great beyond, Lombard likes a lot of Poehler's comedy, too. (The caption in Carole's pic is from the read more

...Carole Lombard month at the wonderful site http://dearmrgable.com/, as it's been every October since 2010. (That's where the above photo is from; let's all raise a toast to Lombard.) There will be all sorts of Carole-related items and entries, such as this from its regular "Gossip Friday" feature read more

Spanish-language spice: Late '20s Lombard clippings
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Oct 2, 2015
Think you'll agree that image above is one of the sexier ones of Carole Lombard floating about. It's from the late 1920s, possibly taken by William E. Thomas (whose photos of Carole are among the raciest she ever did), and it's from a Spanish-language magazine, as we can tell from (admittedly diffic read more

That's good pie! Stan and Ollie's pinnacle of pastry found
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Oct 1, 2015
Carole Lombard took part in all sorts of gags during her comic apprenticeship for Mack Sennett. Sometimes -- though not here in this still from "The Bicycle Flirt" -- she was the victim. But there was one gag which Carole apparently never participated in, since by 1927 it was deemed too hoary by mos read more

'Trailblazing Women': TCM honors females behind the camera
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Sep 30, 2015
Above is the only time I know that Carole Lombard ever directed -- when she helmed Alfred Hitchcock's customary cameo for "Mr. & Mrs. Smith." And in case you don't believe that's her, here she is guiding Hitch through his paces:To be fair, had Lombard lived past 1942, she probably wouldn't have purs read more
Product placement, 1931: An 'Advertise'-ing controversy
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Sep 29, 2015
"It Pays to Advertise," Carole Lombard's third film for Paramount and the first of several the studio released in 1931, isn't all that well-recalled today; it's never received an official video release (though it can be found on YouTube), is rarely revived at repertory houses and perhaps is better k read more

Moore classic titles from Maltin tonight
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Sep 28, 2015
"True Confession" is one of those Carole Lombard films that inspires both love and loathing. Perhaps the best-known member of the latter camp is someone who's otherwise a fan of Carole's -- in fact, four decades ago, he wrote a paperback book about her......none other than esteemed movie critic, his read more

A little portrait magic
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Sep 27, 2015
As part of my Carole Lombard research for this blog, I peruse plenty of portraits of the lady, some of which I think I've seen before (but, since there's no Paramount p1202 or other studio tag, I can't completely confirm that I have). However, I'm nearly 100 percent certain I've never seen the pic a read more
