MIKE M. just sent me this clip of the 1974 film Airport 1975.The film features Gloria Swanson who plays herself and at around 7min and 35 seconds into the clip Swanson makes a comment about Carole Lombard. Swanson wrote all of her dialogue in the film and in the scene regarding Lombard, Gloria Swanson’s PA refers to the autobiography the actress has just finished writing and asks her to provide the names of two actresses who didn’t cave in to the studios under pressure – Swanson replies, “That’s easy, Carole Lombard and Grace Moore!”

Both Lombard and Moore were very close friends of Swanson and like Lombard, Moore was killed in an airplane crash in the 1940s.

Playboy I was browsing through the TWITTER-verse yesterday and stumpled upon a tweet from the original Playboy Mr. Hugh Hefner.

On June 26, 2009 he tweeted:

Friends will be here tonight for a screening of the John Barrymore/Carole Lombard comedy classic “20th Century.”

That made me smile.

For those of you who don’t know, Mr. Hefner is also a big film buff and has funded many restorations and documentaries including “Pandora’s Box” and the documentary “Louise Brooks: Looking For Lulu”.

Look what Carolyn sent! “This is the framed photo of Clark as a toddler that Carole kept on her dressing table,” she says. “Apparently it was the only photo of Clark she kept in her room.”
