Description

Breathtaking photo of the ‘Profane Angel’

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. Lovely vintage sepia matte-finish 8 x 10 photo, signed in fountain pen, “Cordially—Carol Lombard.” In fine condition, with a few small areas of light discoloration, small creases to top left corner tip, and mounting remnants to reverse. An exceptionally appealing uninscribed example from one of Hollywood’s most legendary Golden Era stars! Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RRAuction COA.
