Carole Lombard (October 6, 1908 -- January 16, 1942) was an American actress.[1] She is particularly noted for her roles in the screwball comedies of the 1930s. She is listed as one of the American Film Institute's greatest stars of all time and was the highest-paid star in Hollywood in the late 1930s, earning around US$500,000 per year (more than five times the salary of the US President).[2] Lombard's career was cut short when she died at the age of 33 in a plane crash while returning from a World War II Bond tour.
Graham Greene praised the "heartbreaking and nostalgic melodies" of her faster-than-thought delivery. "Platinum blonde, with a heart-shaped face, delicate, impish features and a figure made to be swathed in silver lam?, she wriggled expressively through such classics of hysteria as Twentieth Century and My Man Godfrey."
Lombard made her film debut at the age of twelve after she was seen playing baseball in the street by director Allan Dwan; he cast her as a tomboy in A Perfect Crime (1921). In the 1920s, she worked in several low-budget productions credited as Jane Peters, and later as Carol Lombard. Her friend Miriam Cooper helped Lombard land small roles in her husband Raoul Walsh's films.[8] In 1925, she was signed as a contract player with Fox Film Corporation (which merged with Daryl Zanuck's Twentieth Century Productions in 1935). She also worked for Path? Exchange and appeared as one of Mack Sennett's Bathing Beauties in 1928.[9] She appears in the title role in Sennet's comedy The Campus Vamp that year. She made a smooth transition to sound films, starting with High Voltage (1929). In 1930, she won a contract with Paramount Pictures after having been dropped by both 20th Century and Path? Exchange.
Lombard achieved a few minor successes in the early 1930s. In 1930's Safety in Numbers with Charles "Buddy" Rogers and 1932's No Man of Her Own with Clark Gable. It was not until 1934 that her career began to take off. That year, director Howard Hawks encountered Lombard at a party and became enamored with her, thinking her right for his latest project. He hired her for Twentieth Century, alongside stage legend John Barrymore. Lombard was at first intimidated by Barrymore, but the two quickly developed a good working rapport.

| In 2007, American writer/performer Peter Michael Marino wrote a musical based on the American film Desperately Seeking Susan, featuring the music of Blondie. It opened on London's West End ... and closed a month later. Whoops! Desperately Seeking the Exit offers a comical, tell-all, behind-the-scenes peek at how this ?4m musical was made and unmade: hatching the idea, the deals with MGM, Debbie Harry and even Madonna, the workshops, the previews, the scathing reviews and the closing night. Once you're in, there's no way out! Directed by John Clancy. |
