My mother, who is now 91 years old, LOVED Carole Lombard, her favorite actress, and thus named her first child “Carol” in Lombard’s honor. My mom has always said that the gossip at the time of Lombard’s death was that she & Clark Gable had fought/argued just before her tragic plane crash… any reality to that? My mom is still heartbroken about Carole Lombard!
I’ve read Gable & Lombard by Warren G. Harris this summer. Fireball by Robert Matzen (Kindle book) finished Screwball by Larry Swindell in past few days.
Next up is Long Live Thr King by Lyn Tornabene.
They were & are movie stars I’ve ever been interested in.
I’d like to think so, but who knows. They were struggling to have a baby for two years, without success. I believe if they had become parents they would have made it. I see them both devoted to their children if they had had them. If not, then maybe the struggle of infertility and the fighting would have done them in.

Carol
I looked at TCM schedule & do not see any of Carole’s movies on the schedule. There may be some but every time I put it on, they have horror movies.
Summer Of The Stars didn’t have one day dedicated to Carole.

A travesty, I’d say!

I’am wondering if Carol Lombard had not died would Clark Gable and Carol Lombard stayed together.
