American actress (1908–1942) who enjoyed great success as a popular screen comedienne in the 1930s and who became Mrs. Clark Gable in 1939. On January 16, 1942, the plane in which Lombard was traveling en route to a war bond rally crashed into Mount Potosi near Las Vegas, killing all 22 passengers. Superb and gorgeous vintage matte-finish 8 x 10 photo of a dreamy Lombard in a frilly dress, boldly signed in bright blue fountain pen “Cordially, Carole Lombard.” A few traces of the very subtlest wear to edges, completely insignificant and mentioned only for the strictest accuracy, otherwise very fine, fresh, immaculate condition. A stellar, blue-chip example for the most discriminating collector! PSA/DNA Auction LOA and R&R COA.
