Book Presentation:
When Carole Lombard was tragically killed in a plane crash on January 16, 1942, she was 33 years old and had been a film actress for almost 20 years, yet her best work probably still lay ahead. She had reached a career high point, earning praise for her talents as a comedienne as well as a dramatic actress.
As well liked as she was on screen, she was equally popular off screen, known for being witty, uninhibited and a great party-giver. Blonde and beautiful, she reigned as the queen of Hollywood when she married Clark Gable, its king.
This book offers a thorough examination of her too-short life and provides information about her 78 films, including cast and credits, synopses, reviews and comments. Photographs from her life and films complete the work.

Press Reviews:
"A great primer for readers interested in learning about a classic Hollywood star. … Writers can sometimes bog down a biography when they talk about films within the narrative of a star’s life, but that doesn’t happen in this book. The format’s splitting makes it an easy and quick read and provides a great watchlist of films to explore."—Library Journal
