Her sweet little cracked-china voice soared into regions only lucky dogs could hear. Platinum blonde
Her sweet little cracked-china voice soared into regions only lucky dogs could hear. Platinum blonde, with a heart-shaped face, delicate, impish features and a figure made to be swathed in silver lamé, she managed to make lovable even a spoiled, stupid rich girl and a vindictive prima donna. - Rhoda KoenigIt is always a pleasure to watch those hollow Garbo features, those neurotic elbows and bewildered hands, that voice unwinding in an endless enchanting ribbon of inanities. - Graham GreeneBlond, beautiful, and often nutty as a fruitcake, Carole Lombard in her all too brief career was utterly distinctive and hard to pin down. She’s a glamorpuss who can play a small-town librarian (just barely) or a manicurist; a diva who can hammer away at a typewriter as a romance novelist; a tomboy who shimmers in low-cut Irene gowns A clothes horse but not a mannequin, she was a study in paradox. She looked best in Irene’s boudoirish satin gowns and negligees...and shorts, the swan undermined and complemented by the jock, the cutup making mincemeat of the dream girl. Carole Lombard was the queen of screwball, the most beautiful and glamorous but also the wildest and most raucous. - Molly Haskell -- source link
