It Doesn’t Really Look Like Carole Lombard But . . .

By Carla On April 14, 2009 · 3 Comments · In Carole Lombard Auctions, Carole Lombard Trivia

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 honestly, if I hadn’t seen the caption I don’t think I would have known. What do you think?

P.S. This isn’t the one from the ranch Rose. I’ll get to that one. Promise!

It doesn’t look like her! It’s like a composite of Harlow/Carole/Ginger Rogers!
I can’t wait to see the one from the ranch! Man, but you have some sources. I’m old enough to be your mom, but would you adopt me? LOL.

Thank you! That’s exactly what I was thinking [Harlow/Carole/Ginger- I'll add Constance Bennett too] but didn’t put into words.

I’ll do a semi-open post on the ranch one for tomorrow. And we can all adopt each other!! xoxoxoxoxoxoxo
