From the heartland to Hollywood heights
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Mar 12, 2019
There probably are many reasons Carole Lombard and Clark Gable developed such a romantic rapport, even if sparks didn't immediately ignite during the lone film they made together, 1932's "No Man Of Her Own." Lombard's roots were in Indiana, Gable's in adjacent Ohio and each carried a Midwestern sens read more
