    Jean Harlow over Marilyn Monroe any day (likewise Bogie WAY over Brando--c'mon!), but choosing between Colbert & Loy?! - that's a toughie - I think Loy would have edged it out for me, but only under pressure!

    Since you like Lombard, you are cordially invited to the first blogathon in her honor. From Oct. 6 to 9, “Carole & Co.” will sponsor “Carole-tennial(+3)!” named for the 103rd anniversary of Carole Lombard’s birth. You can learn more about it (along with banners you can borrow) at http://carole-and-co.livejournal.com/427564.html.
