HBO Banks on a tennis battle of the sexes
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Mar 11, 2015
And no, we're not talking about Carole Lombard facing Clark Gable on the courts (and usually beating him). Rather, this concerns an upcoming HBO movie about an event that transfixed a nation back in the day -- featuring two players who both had ties to Lombard. In fact, there's a good chance Carole read more

Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Mar 9, 2015
Carole Lombard's formal education may have ended during her junior year at Fairfax High School in Los Angeles, but it didn't stop her from appearing in a number of campus comedies for Mack Sennett, playing everything from a track star (as in "Run, Girl, Run," above, with Daphne Pollard) to the title read more

Carole and 'Baby' (Leroy, that is)
Carole & Co. Posted by vp19 on Mar 7, 2015
One of the many sadly unanswered questions about Carole Lombard is how she would have functioned as a mother. Given her genuinely generous nature that made her among the most popular stars within the film industry even before "Twentieth Century" showed the world beyond Hollywood what she could do, C read more
Carole, Marlene on the 'Silver' screen in D.C.
Carole & Co. Posted by vp19 on Mar 6, 2015
Good news for the many Carole Lombard fans in the Washington, D.C. area where I once resided: Two of her cinematic classics will be shown over the next few days at the American Film Institute's Silver Theatre in Silver Spring, Md., just north of the District line.

Rubbing noses and a paper doll
Carole & Co. Posted by vp19 on Mar 5, 2015
Why are Carole Lombard and Norman Foster emulating Eskimos by rubbing noses in this promotional shot for 1931's "Up Pops the Devil"? I don't know the answer, either -- but it is cute and charming, and you can have this 8" x 10" reprint for $11 (five are available) by visiting http://www.ebay.com/itm read more
That's no clown dress, bro
Carole & Co. Posted by vp19 on Mar 4, 2015
Every now and then, I wonder just how differently people in Carole Lombard's time viewed things. By that, I'm not referring to stuff that happened later that they could not have foreseen, but merely perceptions that would seem obvious to us in 2015 but apparently didn't register in 1935.The dress Lo read more

Carole & Co. Posted by vp19 on Mar 3, 2015
Are you ticked off because you couldn't make it to the Hollywood Costume exhibit at the future site of the Academy of Motion Pictures Museum (it closed yesterday), and thus missed a chance to see Carole Lombard's gown from "My Man Godfrey" (the one she's wearing above) up close and personal? Well, d read more

Carole & Co. Posted by vp19 on Mar 2, 2015
Imagine having a snapshot of Clark Gable and Carole Lombard that was part of the Gable estate! Well, imagine no more, because that's what we have here -- an original photo that's 4 1/2" x 3 1/2". In fact, one side is cut and there is a small corner bend, so it actually looks like this:The seller bou read more

We've run this photo before -- or so we think -- as Carole Lombard (second from left), poses with Josephine Dunn, Buddy Rogers, Kathryn Crawford and Virginia Bruce in a publicity pic. I used the qualifier because I came across a slightly different image (note the variance in Rogers' appearance):I'm read more

Carole & Co. Posted by vp19 on Feb 28, 2015
Nice pic of Carole Lombard and William Powell, isn't it? This is one I've never seen before. We can provide a little more information by revealing the bottom of the image, which has a line of dialogue from the film:That still doesn't necessarily answer which film it's from, and they made two which u read more
