Current mood:
devious
Was Carole Lombard possessed when she posed for the following portrait? (And no, it's not publicity for the film "Supernatural.")
This promoted her film "Bolero," but what's so satanic about it? The number, my friend, the number:
That's right -- it's p1202-666, downright devilish. Assuming that was merely a coincidence, the snipe on the back refers to "pre-war stuff"...and in those days, "pre-war" was a reference to 1914, as Travis Banton goes what we today might call "old school":
Hollywood Paper is offering this relatively rare pic, an 8" x 10" in "good-" condition. You can either buy it now for $139.95 or bid beginning at $119.95, in which case bidding will end at 10:36 p.m. (Eastern) on Sunday. All the information is available at http://www.ebay.com/itm/BEAUTIFUL-CAROL
Carole and Marlene Dietrich may not have always been the closest of pals, but they often found themselves invited to the same parties. Take this one, for example, hosted by Clifton Webb (the first party he hosted at his Beverly Hills home, and I'm guessing this to be from 1934 or '35):
The lady in between Lombard and Dietrich is a Mrs. G.W. Kavanaugh. Ronald Colman's at top right, Webb at center, and the man on the left may be Noel Coward. Nice group to invite to a party, isn't it?
This vintage sepia 1930s gelatin silver matte double-weight original photograph is part of a huge array of a very large collection of Webb's personal items (photographs, letters and personal papers) from the seller "greatclassics." Save for a tiny crease in the upper right corner, the pic is in excellent condition.
One bid has been made already, for $4.95; bids will close at 10:32 p.m. (Eastern) Sunday. To place your bid, visit http://www.ebay.com/itm/RARE-CAROLE-LOM
