That 'Sacred' flyer is back, and happy birthday, Jackie
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Aug 21, 2015
It was six months ago tomorrow that we announced a sale on a handsome 6" x 10" flyer for Carole Lombard's Technicolor comedy "Nothing Sacred", placed into the program for the Southern Cal-UCLA football game at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum on Dec. 4, 1937 (http://carole-and-co.livejournal.com/76 read more

Eating out, classic Hollywood style
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Aug 20, 2015
Whether Carole Lombard was squired by William Powell, Russ Columbo or Clark Gable, they all knew the best way to this woman's heart was to wine and dine her -- and in the Hollywood and environs of cinema's classic age, there were all sorts of wonderful places around town to take Lombard or someone e read more

A scrapbook, at the big 6-0
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Aug 19, 2015
Not to sound presumptuous, but I like to think that somewhere today, Carole Lombard is celestially celebrating my birthday with Clark Gable and many other of her friends -- just as I honor the anniversary of her birth every Oct. 6. It's a milestone for me today, as I've reached age 60 (and have the read more

Lombard with a page-boy
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Aug 18, 2015
No, as far as is known Carole Lombard never attempted wearing that iconic 1920s hairstyle; she's at right in this photo, wearing "a diaphanous bra top and short pants," revealing lots of leg. It's the other woman in this photo, taken for Mack Sennett in late 1927 or early '28, who's trying to emulat read more

She's been framed!
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Aug 16, 2015
Does this give Carole Lombard sufficient "street cred"? Actually, I created it using the free app http://www.straightouttasomewhere.com/ (thank you, Dr. Dre, whose Beats firm came up with this), and I like to think that somewhere, Carole's enjoying this tribute to her initial hometown.

The Anti-Damsel Blogathon: 'Produced' by Carole Lombard
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Aug 15, 2015
When you read about the life of Carole Lombard, often it's difficult to believe that the prime of her career began slightly more than eight decades ago...and that we're slightly more than 17 months away from the 75th anniversary of her premature passing. There's such a modern, timeless air about her read more

Clark and Carole and James and Jean...oh, and Loretta, too
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Aug 14, 2015
Carole Lombard and Clark Gable were a few months into their well-publicized marriage as the summer of 1939 began, the last summer before war clouds spread across Europe, just as they had been in Asia for some years. (As the weird typography of the snipe indicates, that's a press release from RKO.)Th read more

The Barrymore Trilogy Blogathon: Carole and John, together again
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Aug 13, 2015
I recently came across a wonderful banner on the Internet, one whose message I agree with -- and I'm sure Carole Lombard would've too (though I doubt "cool" was used as a term beyond describing temperature in her time):Integrity was among the many reasons Carole ranked among the most popular people read more

The lady gives thanks
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Aug 12, 2015
Carole Lombard knew that while she had worked hard to achieve her high status in Hollywood, she also was extremely fortunate. So for the December 1939 issue of Movie Mirror, Carole -- preparing for her first holiday season as Clark Gable's wife -- said as such to her fans in a special Thanksgiving m read more

Mrs. Smith means business
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Aug 11, 2015
Carole Lombard gets to play director of Alfred Hitchcock's customary cameo in this famed scene from 1941's "Mr. & Mrs. Smith," the only romantic comedy the master of suspense ever helmed. Now, a document from that film now has been made public, and it's a notable illustration of Lombard the business read more
