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 aboard. Stunning vintage glossy 7 x 9 photo of Lombard wrapped in silk and fur, signed in fountain pen “Carole Lombard.” Double cloth matted and framed to an overall size of 11.25 x 14. A couple of light surface marks slightly affecting facial area (visible only from an angle), otherwise fine, clean condition. An exceptionally appealing uninscribed example from one of Hollywood’s most legendary Golden Era stars! RRAuction COA.
