Does any actress have a better track record than Carole Lombard ? All the movies I have seen with her are classic.

Sometimes reading Steyn is entertainment aplenty.

Carole Lombard was the original "Manic Pixie Dream Girl" in My Man Godfrey.

I read that Clark Gable never got over her death.

Great movie. She was a a great comic actress, but I think her best was My Man Godfrey, starring opposite her ex-husband, who was very funny in his own right. My understanding is they got along. The actresses who play her parents and sister were also great.

Shows how they got around the Hays Code with some of their jokes. a fun movie! Now movies are simply unfit to watch.

There’s still remains of the plane at the crash site where she perished.

She was very patriotic. Died after a war bonds drive. Clark Gable never got over her death. I think she was the #1 Hollywood beauty ever. Jean Simmons being #2. Marilyn Monroe #3.
