Died On: Friday, January 16, 1942 Died In: Mount Potosi near Las Vegas, Nevada Cause of Death: Plane Crash while on tour to sell war bonds. She is interred next to Clark Gable at Forest Lawn Cemetary in Hollywood, California. The name on her headstone reads: Carole Lombard Gable. Carole Lombard was born Jane Alice Peters on October 6, 1908, in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Carole made her first film at the age of twelve after having been “discovered” by director Alan Dwan while playing baseball out in the streets. He cast her as Monte Blue’s little sister in 1921’s A Perfect Crime. In 1925 she signed a contract with Fox and became “Carole Lombard.” Over the next few years Carole made several low-budget westerns with Buck Jones and comedy shorts when she signed a contract with Mack Sennett in 1927. 1929 Hollywood was beginning to take notice of the up and coming Lombard who was now leading lady in a string of successes starting with High Voltage that year. In 1930, she began working for Paramount Pictures where she would go on to make a majority of her most memorable comedies. It was her performance in 1934’s Twentieth Century that really established her as a bon-a-fide star, earning her praise from fans and film critics alike. One critic wrote “Lombard is like no other Lombard you’ve seen before. When you see her, you’ll forget the rather stilted Lombard of old. You’ll see a star blaze out of this scene, high spots Carole never dreamed of hitting.” Upon completion of filming Twentieth Century her co-star, John Barrymore, presented her an autographed portrait in scripted with “To the finest actress I have worked with, bar none.” In 1930 Lombard met William Powell and the two quickly became infactuated with one another. Sixteen (16) years her senior, William Powell and Carole Lombard wed on June 26, 1931. Though their marriage would end in divorce two years later, the two remained friends. Infact, it was on the recommendation of William Powell that Lombard was cast in the film My Man Godfrey for which she would later receive an Oscar nomination for. Beginning in the 1930’s, Lombard began having an affair with Clark Gable, who was still married to his second wife at the time, Ria. On March 7, 1939 Gable was granted a divorce and he and Lombard married soon after on March 29, 1939. The two set up house on a ranch in the San Fernando Valley where they would live a happy life together as Ma and Pa, as the two would affectionately call one another. To this day, every one who knew Gable has declared that Lombard was the love of his life. Carole's death 1941 the U.S. entered World War II and Carole returned to her home state Indiana for a war bond rally. She would end up selling over two million dollars worth of war bonds. On Friday, January 16, 1942 at 4:00 in the morning, Carole and her mother boarded a Trans World Airlines DC-3 airplane to return to California. Before boarding, Lombard greeted her fans and said “Before I say goodbye to you all, come on and join me in a big cheer! V for Victory!” After refueling in Las Vegas, the plane took off in the night and twenty-three minutes later crashed into a mountain side thirty mile southwest of Las Vegas. All twenty-three passengers aboard were killed. Carole was only thirty-three years old.
