Carole & Co. Posted by vp19 on Apr 2, 2015
We don't know whether Carole Lombard saw this sublime publicity portrait for "To Be Or Not To Be" in finished form before she left Los Angeles for that fateful eastward journey on Jan. 12, 1942. To call it "exquisite" would be an understatement; its elegance conveys a new approach for Lombard, perha read more

this bunch many disappeared after a few years but tho read more
For a Lombard biopic, a journey to Paris? (That's hot!)
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Apr 1, 2015

2015 TCMFF, day 4: Advice from a comic legend, then going Chinese for a 'Psycho'
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Mar 30, 2015
It looks as if Carole Lombard's ready to catch a train, if this image is indicative. She doesn't appear in the best of moods; perhaps she's a bit rushed from preparing her trip. But since it's 1938, we know from the technology of the time that she didn't immediately sign this, as she might have toda read more

Shameless Sunday Camp Explosion: A Happy Song
Café Muscato Posted by Muscato on Mar 29, 2015
Sometimes the depth of what I don't know really startles me. How, for example, could I never have heard of Folies Bergère de Paris, a nifty little confection from 1935 that ends with this remarkable number?
I have to confess, too, that this is all I've seen of it, although you can definitely read more
