The Lombard Cup returns next month

I know it's been awhile since I have posted anything but I'm here to announce the 3rd annual Lombard Cup to take place next month. Beginning Sunday, November 2, Team Carole will face off against Team Veronica. Team Veronica is sponsored by Kristen of Journeys in Classic Film while I'm the sponsor of Team Carole. Veronica as in Veronica Lake and Carole as in Carole Lombard. The Lombard Cup is akin to golf's Ryder Cup where two teams engage in match play. For here, it will be classic movie stars competing in matches and voted on by you guys as to your favorite. Last year it was actresses which Team Carole was able to win. This year it's the men's turn. 21 actors per team and the format will be the same with 5 matches taking place the first three weeks, then the final 6 matches for week 4. Here is the complete list of actors competing. More details to follow including the matches set up in the weeks to come.
