Mister Hepburn Posted January 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 I know!! I often think that as well. I adore Carole Lombard; she's one of my favorite actresses. It's such a tragedy that she died so young, especially since she was supposed to take the train back to California and decided to fly back on the flip of a coin. Rumor has it she was concerned that Clark was fooling around with Lana Turner and she wanted to rush back to put an end to it. In her autobiography, Lana denies any sort of affair, she claims she went to Clark's house a few times after Carole died (for company, to see his gun collection) and that was it. Lana, however, spends an exhausting amount of her book painting herself in a too perfect light, so who knows. People found bits and baubles for years and years at the wreckage which was mostly difficult to get to until the 90s. Parts of the plane still remain, supposedly someone pushed part of the motor (or something) down part of the mountain, this happened once a tour company made the voyage to that part of the mountain more doable. One of my lifes goals is to go there, get up there the way Carole's rescue team did and just sit and pay tribute to her for a few hours. And I suppose a quick trip to her hometown (just a few hours away) might be in order before I move to NYC later this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mister Hepburn Posted January 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 Of course not. (If you believe that, I have this great Ginsu knife set to sell you) I vividly remember rolling my eyes every time she said/reiterated that fact. It's a shame she wasn't more honest, her's could have been the whopper of old Hollywood autobiographies. I still need to get my hands on the book written by one of her former employees that caused her to write her own book... And I'm still waiting for Cheryl's death bed confession, "my mother stabbed Stompanato!" (not that I want Cheryl to die!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL It will be followed by a newly discovered letter from Lana to...Randal Malone or somebody claiming she only kept Johnny Stompanatoa around because it was the closest she'd ever get to holding an Oscar of her own.

Oh yeah, forgot about Madame X, thought she got one for that too, going all old and ugly BEFORE that was learned as the main way to get an Oscar by today's actresses.

She's hardly in Peyton Place!! Geez. Madame X is a beautiful film, I cry every time and it's because of her performance...and I don't care what anyone says!! Haha. I think Madame X and Imitation of Life are her only two truly great performances. Postman... is fun but she doesn't have to do much acting...

When Lana was introduced on her visit to the Night of 100 stars, it was the last scene shown in her mini tribute. WHEN HER MOTOR CONKED OUT, MY MOTOR CONKED OUT, LOL!

Here's a twist for you; I remembered that I DVRd it back in September and started looking through the other movies I'd DVRd..ended up watching Nothing Sacred with Carole!

Keep looking, maybe you'll find others of hers. Was she in the man who came to dinner or you can't take it with you, my man godfrey i know is another one.

Bette Davis is in The Man Who Came to Dinner and it's Jean Arthur in You Can't Take It with You. Two excellent films! My Man Godfrey with Carole's ex-husband, William Powell, is definitely one of her best movies, I think. I also love Twentieth Century and I think that To Be or Not to Be (with Jack Benny) is a masterpiece, even though it is her last film. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean was one of the ones Lucy wanted to replace Viv when she opted out of The Lucy Show, wasn't she? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Hepburn Posted February 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 I own Godfrey and the (VERY inexpensive) 6 film set they put out a few years ago. I've also got a few others DVRd including Twentieth Century and To Be Or Not To Be. Has anyone seen True Confession? Carole's character reminds me so much of Lucy Ricardo.

Not necessarily replace Vivian, but Lucy tried to coax Jean into making her TV debut on The Lucy Show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
