Today is a sad say for classic movie enthusiasts worldwide, as it was on this date seventy-five years ago that Carole Lombard met her doomed fate on the catastrophic airline disaster that extinguished her young and illustrious light.
It is for this reason that Laura from Phyllis Loves Classic Movies and myself have decided to keep her memory alive by hosting a blogathon ( which commences today ) in her honor.
Once you have finished your posts, please send them to either Laura or myself, and we’ll happily link your post to that days recap. Once again thank you to those of you who are participating. We look forward to reading your entries.
