Happy Birthday Carole Lombard (1908 - 1942)

Everyone knows that Carole Lombard is my favorite actress of all time! Today marks what would be her 104th birthday. Carole died at the very young age of 33 in that tragic plane crash delivering war bonds. Her mother was with her on that fateful plane as well. When it comes to screwball comedies, Carole is the queen.  To Be Or Not To Be, Nothing Sacred, Twentieth Century, My Man Godfrey, Hands Across The Table, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, and so on. She also showed her dramatic range in films like In Name Only, Made For Each Other and Vigil in the Night. I plan on watching several of her films this weekend to mark this occasion.
\Happy Birthday Carole! You were the best!
