Beautiful and funny actress Carole Lombard poses for a Halloween photo. As far as I know, she appeared in only one horror film, 1933's Supernatural. Great poster.

Jack Benny 125 -- February 14, 2019
Happy Saint Valentine's Day, everyone.
I did not remember that Jack Benny, star of stage, screen, and radio, was born on Valentine's Day in 1894. Today he would have been 125 years old.
Benny left his footprints in the forecourt of Grauman's Chinese on 13-January-1941. "My heart belongs to Mary (his wife, Mary Livingstone) but my feet belong to Grauman." I love his radio show.
His best movie was To Be or Not To Be with Carole Lombard, but he made many others. This was the only Jack Benny movie directed by Ernst Lubitsch.
I took this on 18-July-2009. DSCN4146.

Carole Lombard 75 Years -- January 17, 2017
 |
| www.listal.com |
75 years ago yesterday, on 16-January-1942, beautiful and funny actress Carole Lombard, who had been in Indiana selling war bonds, boarded a Transcontinental and Western Air Douglas Sleeper Transport, a close relative of the DC-3, to return to Hollywood. The airplane crashed into a mountain in Nevada, killing everyone aboard, including Carole Lombard and her mother.
She started out appearing in silent comedies for Mack Sennett, floundered around a bit during the talkie transition, and then became a big star, appearing in many favorites including My Man Godfrey, Nothing Sacred, Twentieth Century and To Be Or Not To Be. She had a special knack for screwball comedies.
Lombard had been married to William Powell, and was married to Clark Gable. Both men were shattered.
