This week we're bringing you the second half of our two-part series on Hollywood's golden girl, Carole Lombard. Joining us this week is Dr. Olympia Kiriakou, a film historian who's central focus is Classical Hollywood. Author of Becoming Carole Lombard: Stardom, Comedy and Legacy, Dr. Olympia brings a classic and fresh approach to the story of Carole's life, legacy and tragic death. We're diving into who Carole Lombard truly was, and how she became known as not only Hollywood's Original Screwball Comedy Gal, but also a major presence in the War Bond circuit at the start of WWII, and the first woman to give her life in service of her country. Grab your coffee and a fresh sinker and join us in The Clubmobile for a trip back in time.
