Description
Photo restoration and Colorization of Carole Lombard (1908-1942) she appears beside a Waco Plane.
Although remembered primarily for her comedic skills, Lombard was also a highly capable dramatic actress, as evidenced by her performances as a noble and selfless nurse in Vigil in the Night (1940) and as a waitress mired in a deceitful mail-order romance in They Knew What They Wanted (1940). Lombard's other well-regarded films of the period include the melodrama In Name Only (1939), in which she appeared opposite Cary Grant; the comedy-drama Made for Each Other (1939), costarring James Stewart; and Mr. and Mrs. Smith (1941), in which Lombard's performance highlighted director Alfred Hitchcock's only attempt at straightforward comedy.
In January 1942 Lombard visited her native Indiana to participate in a war-bond rally. As Lombard and her mother were returning home on January 16, they and 20 others were killed in a plane crash outside Las Vegas, Nevada.
Lombard was at the peak of her popularity; her death stunned the nation and left husband Gable emotionally shattered. President Franklin Roosevelt expressed the feelings of millions in his telegram to Gable: "She brought great joy to all who knew her and to millions who knew her only as a great artist. ...She is and always will be a star, one we shall never forget nor cease to be grateful to."
