Discs that aren't DVDs. (One's not even a laserdisc.)
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Sep 11, 2015
These days, I think it safe to say that when it comes to Carole Lombard and discs, this is how must people purchase her, whether it be the original DVD format or the more recent Blu-ray. But just as there are those who collect vinyl records -- not just those long-playing albums at 33 1/3 rpm, but si read more

Three posters, three films, three languages, one seller
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Sep 10, 2015
One of the many benefits Carole Lombard had as a Paramount star was the studio's strong international distribution system, giving its players substantial recognition beyond American borders. The two posters above for 1934's dance extravaganza "Bolero" prove the point. (And check the second poster -- read more

She was a 'baby star,' after all
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Sep 9, 2015
Nearly 4 1/2 years ago, we noted that Carole Lombard never was awarded a WAMPAS "Baby Star," an honor given up-and-coming actresses in the 1920s and early 1930s, because the Western Association of Motion Picture Advertisers declined to give awards for 1930, citing the recent stock market crash and t read more

Carole and Jack salute Zukor in silver
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Sep 8, 2015
On the set of "Swing High, Swing Low," Carole Lombard, co-star Fred MacMurray and director Mitchell Leisen receive an honored guest -- Paramount founder Adolph Zukor, far right. The year 1937 marked Zukor's 25th anniversary at the helm of the historic studio, and Paramount celebrated with a special read more

'Modern Screen,' June 1932: A look at Lombard's wardrobe...
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Sep 7, 2015
...or its possible subtitle, "One that fell by the wayside."I've done a lot of Carole Lombard research over the years, and every now and then I mentally misplace plans for future entries.

Back in male millinery
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Sep 6, 2015
There is something seductive, almost liberating, about a woman in man's attire -- even extending to a male hat. Carole Lombard knew it, too, which is why she occasionally posed wearing men's hats. (Curiously, I don't recall ever seeing any pics of Carole wearing a baseball cap, though I'm sure in so read more

'Heaven'-ly days
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Sep 5, 2015
"From Hell to Heaven," Paramount's scaled-down take on "Grand Hotel" (mid-level stars congregate at a resort for a horse race, not top-tier stars at a hotel), is among Carole Lombard's more obscure offerings. (She's shown with Sidney Blackmer above.) But this early 1933 title is being featured this read more

A day full of research

I spent plenty of time today in 1927...with the help of Carole Lombard and Mack Sennett.Before you begin worrying about my sense of time and place, rest assured the previous statement was merely figurative.

'Made' to be a mother?
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Sep 3, 2015
Perhaps Carole Lombard's character Jane Mason is having her doubts while the mother-in-law, played by Lucile Watson, looks on in a scene from "Made For Each Other." As the seller notes, "This is an original 8" x 10" black-and-white photo still" from the Selznick International film, released in early read more

'Bride'-al, sweet
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Sep 2, 2015
You may not think much of 1934's "The Gay Bride" as a film -- Lord knows, Carole Lombard didn't, once publicly calling it the worst movie she ever made -- but you can't deny that MGM's high production values led to some superb publicity stills in this, the only feature Carole made for the studio.
