Carole Lombard random trivia |
|
- A 1926 auto accident badly cut her face. Advanced plastic surgery and adroit use of make-up covered the scars.
- She was offered the lead role in a melodrama, "Smiler with a Knife," to be directed by a newcomer at RKO named Orson Welles. She turned it down, opting to return to screwball comedy in Mr. and Mrs. Smith (1942). Welles refused to make Smiler without her; instead, he began work on Citizen Kane (1941).
- Considered by many to be the prototype for the icy blondes in Alfred Hitchcock's films.
