Unless you do your research, you can wind up shelling out goodly money for a bill of goods.The pic above, of Carole with her beloved horse Pico, is the real read more

Carole and Coop, 'Now and Forever'
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on May 10, 2015
While many still are hesitant to confer the label "sex symbol" on Carole Lombard, there's no doubt she was among her era's more sexually liberated personalities, and Gary Cooper probably was one of her Hollywood bedroom connections.

La protagonista, el director y el productor
Carole & Co. Posted by vp19 on May 9, 2015
Or in other words, the protagonist, the director and the producer (Carole Lombard, John Cromwell and David O. Selznick, respectively). All are shown on the set of her 1939 film "Made For Each Other." And lest you think my subject line strictly is affectation, that's how it was printed on the back of read more

Lombard, La Roy and linen
Carole & Co. Posted by vp19 on May 8, 2015
Another Paramount movie still of Carole Lombard has surfaced, this from her 1932 vehicle "Sinners in the Sun." The other woman shown here, Rita La Roy, probably isn't known by anyone other than truly hardcore classic Hollywood buffs (until now, I admit never having heard of her), but research shows read more

Celebrate Mother's Day with Carole and May
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on May 7, 2015
As you probably know by now, Sunday is Mother's Day (if you don't, there's still time for flowers or gifts!), and the channel get.tv, which airs vintage films (most of them from Columbia), will celebrate with a five-pack of mother-related movies...including "Lady By Choice," a 1934 comedy where Caro read more

The Orson Welles centenary: What 'War of the Worlds' panic?
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on May 6, 2015
Carole Lombard's life may have been relatively brief, but she nevertheless met or worked with all sorts of fascinating people -- and one of them was born 100 years ago today. Orson Welles was a multicultural threat in theater, radio and film; his out-of-the-box thinking jolted convention.Welles and read more

They laughed when she sat down to play? Maybe not
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on May 5, 2015
I have no idea whether Carole Lombard could play the piano, but if she knew how, it wouldn't surprise me. Chances are that in her Fort Wayne childhood home, and perhaps a few of her Los Angeles residences, a piano was somewhere in the parlor. After all, in the days before radio and television, the p read more

The Shorts Blogathon: 'Run, Girl, Run' (1928) -- Carole, the teenage track star
Carole & Co. Posted by vp19 on May 4, 2015
For today's final day of The Shorts Blogathon, hosted by Movies Silently, my contribution is a Carole Lombard two-reeler. (Surprised, huh?) It ranks among Lombard's most popular short films, first because it's reasonably funny, second because it shows Carole as active and athletic -- as she is so of read more

Mr. and Mrs., and the two sides of love
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on May 3, 2015
"Mr. & Mrs. Smith" has several distinctions in the Carole Lombard cinematic oeuvre in addition to being directed by Alfred Hitchcock. It's also the only genuine marital farce Lombard ever made (although like many stars of the era, she tried her hand in a radio adaptation of "The Awful Truth," the be read more

Lombard goes 'Pop' (Art, that is)
Carole & Co. Posted by vp19 on May 2, 2015
Carole Lombard was a favorite of artists during her lifetime, as this mid-1930s image of her posing for a portrait by Azadia Newman, wife of director Rouben Mamoulian, makes clear. Several fan magazines used her for cover portraits painted by Marland Stone and other notables of the era.That traditio read more
