THE LOMBARD CUP returns in September

Carole hopes to keep The Lombard Cup here at All Good Things

Since my last Lombard Cup went over so well last year I have embarked on a new edition for the 2013 cup. Last year it was competition between the classic and modern eras of actors. This time the event have matches between Team Carole (as in Carole Lombard) and Team Veronica (as in Veronica Lake). My friend Kristen of Journeys in Classic Film will be heading up Team Veronica while I of course will lead Team Carole. A few days ago we made our selections of actresses who made the cut. Here are the complete rosters for both teams. The Lombard Cup will begin Sunday, September 8th and have 5 matches per week and alternating between here at All Good Things and Kristen's blog Journey In Classic Films. Whichever team wins the most matches, their blog will hold The Lombard Cup for a full year until we meet again with new rosters and new matches the following year.
