Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on May 30, 2019

Without the man pictured second from left with her, Carole Lombard today might be remembered as at best a second-tier actress during the Golden Age of Hollywood, someone who achieved success through beauty more than talent but never quite broke through. That we don't view her that way is due...   read more

Carole Lombard and Clark Gable (shown here in December 1940 boarding an eastbound train as they traveled to Washington and later Baltimore) were no stranger to rail travel; each regularly used it for transcontinental trips. But at the time of their marriage in late March 1939, if they or other...   read more

Happy Valentine's Day, as Carole Lombard plays Cupid and shoots a love arrow your way. Someone apparently created this two years ago in a job well done. And here's something else to adore: A heretofore unseen (at least by me, and I've searched Lombard images for decades) photo from Paramount's...   read more

Carole Lombard and Charles Laughton teamed for two films nearly seven years apart. One was "They Knew What They Wanted," made for RKO in 1940. But here's where confusion sets in.This currently is available at eBay, and yesterday the seller advertised it:There's just one problem: It's not from "They   read more

That's Carole Lombard in a late 1941 publicity pose, away from the set of what would be her final film, "To Be Or Not To Be." The dark comedy from Ernst Lubitsch enabled Lombard to complete the "circuit" of the era's eight major Hollywood studios -- and the last of...   read more

Carole Lombard was one of the many Golden Age actresses who benefited from having Una Merkel as a cinematic "best friend"-- and she'll be saluted all day Monday by Turner Classic Movies in the U.S. And while "True Confession," Lombard's lone film with Merkel, isn't among the 10, count 'em,...   read more

Apologies to Carole Lombard and Clark Gable, but I guess I haven't paid much attention to supermarket checkout stands lately. If I had, I'd know that earlier this month, the weekly mag Closer ran a cover feature on Clark, focusing on his legendary, ill-fated romance with Carole:Moreover, the story h   read more

When they nicknamed Adele Jergens “The Eyeful,” they weren’t just whistlin’ Dixie. Born on November 17, 1917, in Brooklyn, New York, Adele Louisa Jurgens didn’t start out with her sights set on the big screen. The tomboyish Adele was the youngest of four children and the only girl, and was...   read more

Joan Crawford served up a strong noir presence in such first-rate features as Mildred Pierce (1945), Possessed (1947), The Damned Don’t Cry (1950) and Sudden Fear (1952). She also served up a mean turkey. Happy Thanksgiving! And join me tomorrow on Day 23 (seriously, where is the time going!?!   read more

Hold it! Stop everything you’re doing everybody because The Wonderful World of Cinema is 4 years old today! Still quite young but, for a blog, it’s quite an achievement. As a matter of fact, I feel it has been much longer! I was quite amazed when I received that notification...   read more

As you likely know, today is the 110th anniversary of Carole Lombard's birth. (I say that rather than saying it's her 110th birthday because few of us hit the century mark, much less go a decade beyond it.) I've now been a fan of Lombard's for nearly as long as...   read more
