A DVD you'll want to 'Run' for
Carole & Co. Posted by vp19 on Jul 10, 2015
Carole Lombard may be standing still in the photo above, but her 1928 Mack Sennett film "Run, Girl, Run" lives up to its title, as she plays a glamorous, if flighty, track and field star who helps her college finally conquer its archrival. It's now available with three other Sennett shorts in a comp read more

The further adventures of Rhoda Philbrooke
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Jul 9, 2015
Who? Well, Carole Lombard fans recognize that name as the character she played in her final Pathe film, "The Racketeer." (That's Lombard at right with Jeanette Loff -- whose great-niece, Tammy Medeiros Matz, is a Facebook friend of mine -- and Robert Armstrong.) It's a programmer from late 1929, but read more

A 'Choice' pressbook herald
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Jul 8, 2015
Of the five films Carole Lombard made for Columbia Pictures, "Lady By Choice," her last at Gower Gulch, certainly ranks below "Twentieth Century" and probably "Virtue" as well. But this comedy from the fall of 1934 co-starring May Robson (above), whose title is meant to evoke the unrelated Frank Cap read more

Carole & Fred, from sublime to ridiculous
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Jul 7, 2015
Above are Carole Lombard and Fred MacMurray in a romantic publicity shot for the 1937 comedy "True Confession." It's a far cry from this hilarious still promoting the same movie:But this was nothing new to them, as this funny photo from their first collaboration, 1935's "Hands Across the Table," mak read more

A Lacy shot of Lombard
Carole & Co. Posted by vp19 on Jul 6, 2015
As in Madison Lacy, veteran Warners still photographer. Since Carole Lombard's only movie at that studio was the lackluster "Fools For Scandal," this candid is from that film, as Carole, director Mervyn LeRoy and co-star Fernand Gravet chat on the set. Since we don't know at what point in the shooti read more

Triple the vintage
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Jul 5, 2015
Above is Paramount p1202-1346, a Carole Lombard portrait from 1936 taken by the studio's John Engstead. It's one of three vintage 8" x 10" Lombard photos, all originally from New York's fabled Movie Star News store, now up for auction from the same seller. When this auction began a day or so back, t read more

Holidays, Hollywood style
Carole & Co. Posted by vp19 on Jul 4, 2015
"Huh?," you're saying to yourself. What's a Halloween-themed photo of Carole Lombard doing on July 4? As it turns out, while Lombard certainly was a patriot, I don't believe she ever specifically posed for an Independence Day photo -- unlike contemporaries such as Thelma Todd (seeing this should coo read more

Excelsior! Set sail with Carole and Coop
Carole & Co. Posted by vp19 on Jul 3, 2015
When Carole Lombard posed for some nautical portraits for Paramount in 1933, studio stablemate Gary Cooper came along as a special guest star of sorts, and they posed for this on-board shot. Now another image from that seaside session has surfaced, one that was used in an Italian magazine:Carole and read more

'Fireball,' the film: Cast your Clark and Carole
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Jul 2, 2015
Earlier today, Brian Lee Anderson at the "Carole Lombard !!!" Facebook fan page brought up this topic, one I thought worth discussing here:"I got asked today what actors I hope portray Carole and Clark in the film version of 'Fireball' ... I said Jennifer Garner and Henry Cavill. Fun question.... Wh read more

Horsing around at Hollywood Park
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Jul 1, 2015
Carole Lombard loved horses nearly as much as she loved making movies, as this photo from the spring of 1939 makes evident. It was taken at Hollywood Park in Inglewood; we know that from the back:Let's isolate and clarify the snipe so we can read it; since this is an RKO press release, the snipe was read more
