75 years ago yesterday, on 16-January-1942, beautiful and funny actress Carole Lombard, who had been in Indiana selling war bonds, boarded a Transcontinental and Western Air Douglas Sleeper Transport, a close relative of the DC-3, to return to Hollywood. The airplane crashed into a mountain in Nevada, killing everyone aboard, including Carole Lombard and her mother.
She started out appearing in silent comedies for Mack Sennett, floundered around a bit during the talkie transition, and then became a big star, appearing in many favorites including My Man Godfrey, Nothing Sacred, Twentieth Century and To Be Or Not To Be. She had a special knack for screwball comedies.
Lombard had been married to William Powell, and was married to Clark Gable. Both men were shattered.
