I think Carole would have been a riot to play poker with or just hang out with while having a couple of cocktails. (She might have to be served sparingly though)<br />PagePagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15063277863578004836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5288732393699331930.post-3864624774447020042011-10-07T19:54:13.562-07:002011-10-07T19:54:13.562-07:00Page, what a lovely tribute to Carole Lombard!

No wonder she and her hubby Clark Gable were so crazy about each other. Damn stupid war, taking the life of such an amazing woman -- weren't there enough casualties of that terrible war? Anyway, Page, your wonderful post had me both crying and laughing -- great job, my friend!DorianTBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01357778472575080022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5288732393699331930.post-9164360694108321652011-10-07T11:50:05.999-07:002011-10-07T11:50:05.999-07:00@John,

Thanks so much. Glad you enjoyed my Carole...@Becky,<br />Thanks so much. Glad you enjoyed my Carole contribution. <br /><br />I agree that it's hard to dislike a movie of a loved star. I'm trying to think about Cary Grant and if there are films of his I don't care for. Yep! I am no fan of Penny Serenade and Operation Petticoat.<br />I just don't think my moms memory is what it used to be.<br />PagePagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15063277863578004836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5288732393699331930.post-10085179811931815352011-10-06T16:20:52.143-07:002011-10-06T16:20:52.143-07:00Lovely tribute to a beautiful, funny, trash-talkin...Lovely tribute to a beautiful, funny, trash-talking, hard-living woman who looked like a porcelain doll! She must have been a lot of fun to be friends with. I've never been a huge fan of screwball comedies, but I do like My Man Godfrey. I think my favorite of her movies is "In Name Only" with Cary Grant, and it really is not a comedy at all. She did really well with drama! <br /><br />My favorite of your great pics is the glamour shot in the white satin lounging outfit. Wow! And of course, this is my favorite part of your article: "I spoke to my mom about it a couple of days ago and I asked her if she could think of a stinker that Lombard was in. After a short pause she said "No, I just can't" -- tell your Mom I know just how she feels -- when you really love an actor, nothing they do is ever totally bad! Great job, Page!

After a short pause she said "No, I just can't."</i><br /><br />I then presume she has never seen "Fools For Scandal." While Carole looks beautiful in it, the story simply doesn't work, as Warners had no feel for screwball comedy. Lombard herself called "The Gay Bride" the worst movie she ever made, but at least it delivers some laughs and has that MGM sheen about it. In contrast, "Fools For Scandal" goes nowhere.VP81955https://www.blogger.com/profile/11792390726196611188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5288732393699331930.post-33951816695335374152011-10-06T05:57:14.781-07:002011-10-06T05:57:14.781-07:00The very talented comedienne Carole Lombard, was o...The very talented comedienne Carole Lombard, was one of my favorite actress.

Ha Ha<br /><br />There are a few stars that I can honestly say were knock your socks off stunning. Carole was one of them and you might laugh but I feel that way about Loretta Young. I can't wait to do a post on her to show off some of her glam shots. <br /><br />I'm glad you found that photo interesting too.<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by and for always taking time to read my posts.

I'm actually not a huge Lombard fan (don't beat me up!), but Godfrey has always held a special place for me. Also enjoy her quite a bit in Nothing Sacred and To Be or Not to Be.<br /><br />Thanks for showing off all of these pics, I absolutely agree that she was a beauty!Cliff Alipertihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07791559437928473638noreply@blogger.com
