Oh, 'To Be' on the set
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Sep 23, 2015
There are numerous stills of Carole Lombard from her final film, "To Be Or Not To Be," but few have the story of this one. It shows Carole speaking to actors Charles Halton and Lionel Atwill during production. The person in the foreground behind Lombard is the seller's father, who worked on the crew read more

The 'Devil' in the details
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Sep 22, 2015
"Up Pops the Devil" is one of those early Paramount Carole Lombard films that tend to get lost in the shuffle. Among a slew of her movies the studio released in the first half of 1931, it's rarely seen or revived, and sometimes is confused with another early '31 Lombard release, "It Pays to Advertis read more

Doubling your negative pleasure -- can you 'bear' it?
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Sep 21, 2015
I know this is Paramount p1202-652, but who are the men flanking Carole Lombard? That may be George Raft she's looking away from -- this was taken at about the time "Bolero" was released -- but is she looking at Ray Milland, who had a supporting role in the film? I can't answer one way or the other, read more

'I'm no Trilby!' Oh yes, you are.
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Sep 20, 2015
That's one of the funnier lines Carole Lombard delivers in "Twentieth Century," and I'm certain much of the film's audience understood the in-joke -- three years before, in 1931, co-star John Barrymore gained fame in "Svengali," manipulating the life of Marion Marsh's character Trilby.Sorry, Carole, read more

That Carole -- what a (paper) doll!
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Sep 19, 2015
Earlier this month, we reprinted a feature on Carole Lombard and clothes from the June 1932 issue of Modern Screen (http://carole-and-co.livejournal.com/817111.html). Little did I know that back in 1991, someone named Sandra Vanderpool -- who apparently is well known for her work with paper dolls -- read more

The princess has tea
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Sep 18, 2015
Who among us doesn't enjoy a good cup of tea every now and then? That's apparently what Carole Lombard is sipping as she takes a break on the set while in costume for her 1936 Paramount comedy "The Princess Comes Across." So what was it, Carole? Earl Grey, Darjeeling or good old orange pekoe? Whatev read more

'Modern Screen,' November 1931: Curses -- foiled again!
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Sep 17, 2015
I apologize for not being able to do more with that attractive photo of Carole Lombard, but for the second time in a week I've run afoul of some gaps in the otherwise impeccable run of fan magazine holdings in the Media History Digital Library. The other day, I discovered to my dismay that the Decem read more

On the beach, but not a Bathing Beauty
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Sep 16, 2015
Carole Lombard is in that pic, fifth from left, taken sometime in 1928 during work on one of Mack Sennett's comedy shorts. Lombard apparently wasn't scheduled to appear in swimwear that day, as she's wearing a horizontally-striped sweater and skirt. Sennett himself is at far right, in a white hat.Ot read more

'Hollywood,' December 1933: Carole on the cover, and advice from Mae
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Sep 14, 2015
Carole Lombard's on the cover of the Decmeber 1933 issue of Hollywood magazine, and I wish I could tell you more about it...but, alas, the Media History Digital Library's run of the magazine begins with the January 1934 issue. (Damn.) So the pages we have here are the next best thing.However, see th read more

'Screenland,' February 1941: A portrait, a plaudit and a prediction
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Sep 13, 2015
That serene portrait of Carole Lombard, taken by photographer John Engstead, was part of the February 1941 issue of Screenland magazine. She didn't have an overwhelming presence that month -- her comedic comeback, "Mr. & Mrs. Smith," would arrive in theaters later in February -- but if you looked ha read more
