Gable Lombard Author:Warren G. Harris He was the all-time all-American virility symbol, perhaps the most successful male actor of his time, the acknowledged "King" of Hollywood, earning $4,000 a week in the hungry thirties; She was the great all-American sex symbol, a tough-talking, beautiful blonde at the height of stardom, "America's Madcap Playgirl #1", making $3,000 a week. — To... more »gether they make for a book that is lusty, funny and full of the glittering gossip and real-life tragedy that occur only in Hollywood lives.
Heavily illustrated, packed with anecdotes about famous stars, famous houses, famous movies and famous parties, Gable & Lombard is at once a triumph of nostalgia and a briliant retelling of romantic legend that seemed to many Americans of the time more real than life itself - and more romantic than the movies - but which was, in fact, simply a love story.
