Look (or listen to) who's a Lombard fan!
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Aug 5, 2015
Carole Lombard not only made a movie with Bing Crosby ("We're Not Dressing"), but legitimately was a fan of his, as she was with his good friend and ill-fated crooning rival Russ Columbo.

A Classic TV Thursday Bonus – The Frito Bandito
Durnmoose Movie Musings Posted by Michael on Jul 30, 2015
Today, of course, a character like the Frito Bandito likely wouldn’t be allowed to be a commercial spokesman, because he would be considered racist. However, back in the day… Oh, and if the voice in that commercial sounds familiar, it’s because yes, it is the ever-popular and extr read more
