The UTube tribute was wonderful. Thank you so much for sharing.
Wow I read somewhere tht after her death Gable made a statement to one of his buddys " She was the only woman I was ever faithful to" Maybe maybe not but I tend to believe this because he was nuts about her, Maybe he cheated before they got married but I think not afterwards. LT was beautiful but she couldn't hold a candle to CL.Originally Posted by desert hag
In 1986 I was lucky enough and healthy enoug lol to do that treck up to the site,before they closed it to the public. I don't know if it is closed now or not.
My brother had a gieger counter that looked for metal. He found some things but didn't take them he just looked at the things and put them back. He said it was a burial site and things should be looked at and not taken. Well Damn I wish now I had taken some thing from there. Same as when I went to Buddys plane crash site.
I don't know if they have reopened that area where Carole was killed or not.
Is there a possible it wasent an accident?? Thats article makes it sound like thete may be more to it??
No..if that flight would have taken place today we are talking perhaps 2 maybe 3 hours tops. Back in the 40s in the days before jets planes had to stop often just to re-fuel and often in out of the way places like Winslow, AZ? Why not Phoenix? Tuscon? Or even Denver or Salt Lake City?
To be preserved as a Protected Heritage Site? I don't know about the 'procedure' in the States, but here in Canada most older aircraft crash sites are declared a protected heritage site.That is eerie...why the hell didn't they clean up the crash site?
For example, Trans Canada Airlines Flight 810 crashed in 1956 into the peak of Mt. Slesse. Most of the aircraft wreckage is still there (experienced mountain climbers can barely get to the wreckage), it would be impossible to bring down any of the wreckage anyway, and it's illegal to take anything from the crash site.
I think now days, most crashes become the property of the NTSB, where they try to piece them back together.
Warm welcome to you, L1049! I've often wondered (wished) to have a part of the "aeroplane wreckage" that my grandmother survived in 1925 in England....at least I have the news clipping about the crash...and a few fading memories of her accounts of the failed flight that took the life of one of her aunts.

I was thinking the exact same thing! I know my Mom would have been letting me have it all the way to the ground!
For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:38-39
It is pretty well known that Gable suffered from severe phimosis (an overly tight, non-retractable foreskin of the glans penis). This probably caused him pain at times (especially when erect), which well might lead to the lousy lay situation. There are reports of Gable having problems with infections under the foreskin as well.
wow, thanks so much for sharing Queen. id never seen this one, im actually teary eyed rigth now... i so love them both.
WOW!! What a great video piece!wow, thanks so much for sharing Queen. id never seen this one, im actually teary eyed rigth now

I don't know if this clip has been put on a link or not it is video of the crash site, you can still see some of the wreckage!
Thanks for that link Danny.
Clark and Carole are my favorite Hollywood couple of all times... it always moves me to read or see anything related to Carole's death.
The thing I really liked about the two it was genuine love they had for each other!!Thanks for that link Danny.

Sad the way it ended!
OMG.....that tribute was beautiful. I found myself teary eyed, especially seeing how they gazed into each others eyes.....it felt as if they were really connected. Thanks for sharing this !!!

This picture is awesome too. I agree with you, her dress is just gorgeous.
I love Carole Lombard; she was gorgeous. Love her 2nd husband William Powell, too. Classy guy.

Great pic! It reminds me of the story about Carole's Dachshund (I forget its name and I have no idea if either of those pictured are the dogs in question). The dog supposedly hated Clarke Gable and wouldn't come near him when Carole was alive. After she died, the dog wouldn't leave his side. I always thought that story was so sweet and sad.
This is my favorite picture of Carole, she looks so happy. i love her smile.
As far as Lana Turner admitting that in her book, that's kind of tacky. That's probably one of those things I wouldn't never told and felt guilty about...whether it was true or not!
Senior Death Hag
The other thing that I believe was missing when the body of
CAROLE LOMBARD was found was her [SIZE=3]diamond & ruby clips[/SIZE] which GABLE had given her. There was a rumor that they were imbedded in her heart. She was wearing them when she'd boarded the plane. Keep in mind, her body was identified by wisps of blond hair; that's how badly the bodies were torn and disfigured.
I dont know if anyone will agree with me here but the actress in my opinion back in Lombards day had a natural beauty about them that far out shines the plastic beauty bought from a doctor crap that you get from todays actresses and they weren't so thin you could lace them through a needle. Although Goldy Hawn is still gorgeous
LMAO!!

Been looking for this site forever. Interesting read about the so called mystery of her death.
http://www.geocities.com/welkerlots/carole.htm
Interesting facts in there, thanks Cindy. A lot of stars that got mixed up in the occult end up in tragic deaths. I got interested in Lombard when I fell in love with Clark Gable. She lived an interesting life.
Hello All. This is my first post. I was named after her (well my middle name anyway)
wow Cindy.... I added that site to my faves.....so I can go back and read all the other stories
ok this is a great thread...i have one question..the post that talked about clarks painful penis problem..i so didnt know about this ..not that its not common knowledge i just must be not talkin to the right people lol..anyway..i just dont get how a man that may have pain etc getting erections and it could explain why he's bad in the sack ( allegedly)..would go throwin the d*ck around to every starlet that'll lay still...i mean if im bad in bed and have penis problems i think id stick to the gal that loves me and may understand ..and not be screwin everyone..it doesnt make sense to me..
it doesnt make sense to me at all either.... He wouldnt have been that obsessed with sex had he had those painful erections, i guess.... i dont know, it doesnt make sense , ive never believed that...

My Man Godfrey is one of my favorite Golden Oldies.
I find this whole subject very unnerving. Clark Gable was one of the best actors of all times. Discussing his penis is so wrong. Since I will never see his penis up close, I can assume it was whatever size I want, but to keep mentioning bad things about it, when we do not know if it's true or not, is not right.
Remember jealousy was alive and well back then too. Many things were started about the rich and famous for that very reason.
Let's remember these two as wonderful actors, who gave this country much.
They were two wonderful actors , i love them both, but the penis thing , i dont find it that unnerving, even Carole talked about it it seems
Seriously, i know what you mean, but part of the greatness of this forum is that discussions could go on and on forever with lots of sub- subjects!!

Here's a picture of a Skysleeper - from the website I found, it said:
I believe this is Burbank airport on a rainy day in the early 1940s. The DC3 first in the line is an American Airlines Flagship Skysleeper. These aircraft were equipped with individual berths and required approximately 17 hours to fly coast to coast. Photo: Don Hall, Sr.

I agree. I absolutley live MR Gable.
I think that he was a randy guy who got around a lot. Carole knew this and went into it with her eyes open.
I have read several bigraphies of Gable and never heard this mentioned.
And every bigrapher says that Lombards crack about Gable not being so great in bed was just Lombard being Lombard. She would never have jeopardized her husbands career or image. (except to take him dow a peg or two between them)
I think often these stories about sexual prowess are told so much they just become "true"
Apparently he had a very small one though. Lombard was known to say if his pee pee was one inch shorter he'd be the Queen of Hollywood.
She was gorgeous, funny and seemed so down to earth. There is something very modern about her.
This is one COOL Carole pic, i absolutely love it ( love the coat shes wearing
Look at this amazing shot: the makeup, the fabulous dress with the huge belt....
Beautiful woman, that belt dress is popular today.
I love this one as well - I am in love with those shoes! You can wear those today, I have a smiliar pair!This is one COOL Carole pic, i absolutely love it ( love the coat shes wearing
Yes Cary Grant was GORGEOUS in those photos, but Carole Lombard was too!
I've never seen a single movie that she was in that I am aware of, but she seems like a perfect image of a "Wholesome American Female" from ANY era!
She's beautiful without being fake, or drop dead gorgeous and seems to be the VERY pretty "Girl Next Door" just like Elizabeth Montgomery was.
Unfortunately if I'd been Carole I would have been on my way back to Hollywood to "Whup Lana Turner's Ass" too.
I seem to remember a TV movie from the 70's where Jill Claybourne played Carole and in response to talk about she and Clark's affair/marriage she walked into a studio set swinging a Fox Fur stole while singing, "Cock a Doodle Do, Cock a Doodle Do, Any Man will Do!"
Anniversary of her death was yesterday - 57 years.
Renowned Death Hag
Carole was in a very bad car accident in the mid 1920s, her face went through the windshield.
Somehow the the doctors were able to fix the damage leaving her only with a slight
scar on the left side of her face.
After she divorced William Powell, she was engaged to a singer named Russ Colombo
but the romance ended tragically.
From Wikipedia:
Gable kept a diamond earring used to identify her body, in a locket he wore for the rest of his life.Unfortunately, Columbo died when he was visiting a friend who collected antique pistols. While he was admiring a pistol, it went off and the bullet ricocheted and landed in Columbo's skull. To reporters, Lombard said Columbo was the love of her life.

You're thinking of the theatrically released film 'GABLE & LOMBARD'Yes Cary Grant was GORGEOUS in those photos, but Carole Lombard was too!

JAMES BROLIN played CLARK GABLE and did he do a fantastic job !
The scene you mention above had to do with the follow up after PHOTOPLAY had published a story about unwed actors & actresses openly living together. The story was published in 1936 I think. Anyway- at that time, that was a big deal. You didn't live together. (And) the studios had 'moral terptitude clauses' inserted into their contracts meaning that if a contract player or a S*T*A*R became involved in anything that might possibly have the public turn against them as well as the studio, then the contract holding studio could get rid of him or her right then, and with not much that could be done in regards to any legal recourse.
I'm not sure if she was a 'free lance' artist at that point but LOMBARD worked at PARAMOUNT and some women's club was on hand to take a tour of the studio. The upper echelon had set everything up so that the actors who worked at PARAMOUNT and had been mentioned in the PHOTOPLAY article were to show up midway through a lecture on 'morality and motion pictures' with the women's club in attendance and appear contrite about the entire episode and convey regret and a desire to be made clean. While in her dressing room LOMBARD got madder by the moment over the whole situation. She figured that what she did in her private life was nobody's business. Instead of wearing the simple modest suit chosen for her appearance, LOMBARD got dressed up like a $2. whore and marched through the auditorium sashaying her hips and throwing off insulting quips, "Geez you're lots older than the last busload of gals........."
In the movie they embellished dialogue to include lines like:
" COCK a doodle do....any man will DO"
" Ummm, the oven is hot and needs a big loaf of bread shoved inside it."
