Carole & Co. Posted by vp19 on Mar 23, 2015
I think it safe to say most people with any sort of knowledge of Hollywood history would define Carole Lombard's 1937 film "Nothing Sacred" (she's shown here with co-star Fredric March) as a classic. Well, it just so happens that in less than two months, a day has been designated to honor such films read more
Herald-ing South America in the 'Sun'
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Mar 22, 2015
Imagine having Carole Lombard as your date and literally falling asleep on the job! Well, that's what apparently happened to poor Walter Byron in this scene from the 1932 Paramount film "Sinners in the Sun." No wonder Carole looks so ticked off.We bring this up because a rare herald from the movie - read more

'Godfrey' comes to the plate
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Mar 21, 2015
No, not as in baseball (though the mind chuckles at the premise of Carole Lombard pitching to William Powell while he bats wearing his "Godfrey" butler's outfit). The plate we're referring to is something you eat on, or display (as in "commemorative plate") -- although given the condition of this on read more

A blogathon designed for short shrift
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Mar 20, 2015
Did Carole Lombard look good in shorts? From the photo above, probably yes...though the gal looks so doggone tired.Oh, you're referring to another sort of shorts, the type Lombard didn't wear but merely performed in -- the two- or four-reelers she appeared in for Mack Sennett from 1927 to 1929. We'l read more

Saluting the 'Crew,' the unsung heroes of L.A. music
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Mar 19, 2015
While Carole Lombard never fancied herself as much of a singer, music was a key part of her life, including her relationship with Russ Columbo, a vocalist, composer and bandleader whose bizarre, premature death in 1934 robbed the music world of a major talent. Even before the end of the 1920s, when read more

Attending the TCM Classic Film Festival (but it may not feel like one)
Carole & Co. Posted by vp19 on Mar 18, 2015
That's because word came out today that a "medical procedure" will prevent Robert Osborne from taking part in next week's event in Hollywood. (When I don't run a photo of Carole Lombard with my first shot -- a policy I've followed for several years now -- you know it's big news.) I caught some of la read more

Adding to the p1202 club
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Mar 16, 2015
As many Carole Lombard fans know, p1202 was the player number Paramount assigned her for publicity shots, usually solo assignments and often not immediately related to a film she was making at the time. The photo above, p1202-1439, is a new pose for my collection, and I'm delighted to share it with read more

A little 'Variety' (and a pair of 'No's) at the start of '33
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Mar 14, 2015
At several times in Carole Lombard's career, she had two films simultaneously battling for box-office patronage. (Perhaps the best-known instance of this came as 1937 turned into 1938, as Selznick International's "Nothing Sacred" and Paramount's "True Confession" faced off in theaters.) Above is ano read more

An icon, a muse...and on the 'Red List'
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Mar 13, 2015
This attractive portrait of Carole Lombard, taken by Otto Dyar to promote her 1933 film "The Eagle and the Hawk," is but one of the hundreds of goodies you can find at the site the Red List (http://theredlist.com/wiki-2-24-525-526-652-view-1930s-2-profile-carole-lombard.html), where she's shown as b read more
