HAPPY BIRTHDAY Jane Alice Peters | October 6, 1908 - January 16, 1942
“She was so alive, modern, frank, and natural that she stands out like a beacon on a lightship in this odd place called Hollywood.” - Barbara Stanwyck
“She brought great joy to all who knew her and to millions who knew her only as a great artist. She gave unselfishly of time and talent to serve her government in peace and war. She loved her country. She is and always will be a star, one we shall never forget, nor cease to be grateful to.” - Franklin D. Roosevelt
“With her, it was like music, it was completely natural.” - Clark Gable
“We called her The Profane Angel because she looked like an angel but she swore like a sailor. She was the only woman I ever knew who could tell a dirty story without losing her femininity.” - Mitchel Leisen
“There is a strong case to be made for the divinity of Carole Lombard. One is certain that at Olympian banquets, she’s right up there next to Zeus.” - David Shipman
