Lombard, Carole

Lombard, Carole
(1908-1942)
   Born Jane Alice Peters in Fort Wayne, Indiana, Carole Lombard had her first role in motion pictures in 1920. Fox Studios employed her when she was 16 years old. Despite facial scarring from an automobile accident, she was able to sign a contract with Mack Sennett in 1927 and appeared in a number of comic roles before leaving the company in 1928. In 1930, Lombard joined Paramount Pictures and made several minor movies prior to making a name for herself in 20th Century (1934), Hands across the Table (1935), My Man Godfrey (1936), True Confession (1937), and Nothing Sacred (1937). Her “screwball” comic roles reflected the mood of the 1930s. During World War II, Lombard campaigned across the country to help sell war bonds. She died when her flight back from one of these appearances crashed near Las Vegas.
