Don’t Know What To Be For Halloween?
Grab a pal and go as Gable and Lombard!
This is not a joke.
A seller on ebay has just listed these handsomely-crafted-in-France masks of Carole Lombard and Clark Gable. See:
Oh the LOLS.
The seller estimates them to be from the mid-1950’s to early 1960’s. (Meaning Clark may have seen them!)
If YOU want to be one of [...]
I’ve Been Taking A Pause For An AWESOME Cause
Ok. I admit it: I stink. I should not have neglected the website and left all of you hanging but I am writing a book about our beloved Miss Lombard and have been dedicating 100% of my time and energy towards it.
My hope is to provide more updates on this site and I appreciate your [...]
Back with Ads and an Early Lombard
Hello Everyone!
It’s been awhile hasn’t it? I have been a busy bee with a new day job and working like a madcap on the Lombard book but today I come with some neat images to share.
First off: If you haven’t noticed already, there is a new section in the Photo Archives dedicated to advertisements that [...]
Lombard Looking FIERCE!
Carole Lombard looks like one hot mysterious Mama in this photo taken during her early Paramount days. It’s currently up for auction on the Ebay and I just had to post it! Behold:
I definitely had to do a double-take to make sure it was her. Very Garbo-ish I’d say. I’ve never seen this photo and dammit, I [...]
Carole Lombard Get’s A Caricature
Ah! That’s what I shouted in my head upon first seeing this image of Our Lady of Lunacy:
Reminds me a tad of Cruella de Vil Gone Platinum!
If any of you out there fancy these sorts of things the magazine from which the photo came from is currently up for auction on Ebay until May 21st. [...]
Carole Lombard Gave Out Buttons?
Interesting.
I just came across an unusual item up for auction:
Vintage fountain pen signature and inscription, “To Julia Shauer, Here’s another, from Carole Lombard,” on an off-white 6.5 x 4.25 sheet of Lombard’s “The Farm” stationery with one of Lombard’s personally owned triangular buttons affixed at top left. Accompanied by the original Paramount Pictures mailing envelope, [...]
The Gables Were Just Like Us!
In the sense that they owned a martini shaker and candlesticks.
Below is a photo of engraved candlesticks belonging to Clark Gable and Carole Lombard. (These were also sold at auction a few years ago). They are matching short silver candlesticks, each engraved ‘G and L.’
Next is the Gable and Lombard martini shaker. Carole Lombard [...]
A Ring From The Gable-Lombard Romance
I know a lot of you like these types of posts so here is another one: A gold dome ring with a ribbon of inset diamonds given to Carole Lombard by Clark Gable. The inscription on the inside of the band, like the bracelets, reads: ‘I Love You, C.G.’
Like the others, it was sold at [...]
It Doesn’t Really Look Like Carole Lombard But . . .
This painting by Anna Wilson was sold in 2004 describing it as: Portrait of Carol Lombard and her dog, 1935.
So they obviously got the name spelled wrong, (for that time period anyways). Maybe it’s just me but that doesn’t really look like her. Eh maybe it does. A little. The outfit is definitely familiar but [...]
Please Don’t Cut Her Out!
I’m back. Basically, Vegas is a playground, slots suck, the Phantom rocks, and the Wynn’s “war” is a winner. Penn & Teller are cool too. (Penn is really tall)
Now, back to Lombard!
Below we have a original Carole Lombard signed 11 X 14 photograph that is embossed with “Coburn” [as in the photographer Robert Coburn] at [...]
