Gossip Friday: No Letters

From September 1941:

Then there is this amazing explanation of Carole Lombard’s reluctance and downright refusal to write letters: Carole Lombard chews up more letters than she writes. When she sits down to write she chews the edge of the stationary while she is thinking, and by the time the letter is halfway finished, it is so well chewed up that she throws it in the waste basket and goes out to feed the chickens. That’s why you don’t ever get letters from Lombard.
