Biography

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Carole Lombard (born Jane Alice Peters, October 6, 1908 – January 16, 1942) was an American film actress. She was particularly noted for her energetic, often off-beat roles in the screwball comedies of the 1930s. She was the highest-paid star in Hollywood in the late 1930s. She was the third wife of actor Clark Gable.

Lombard was born into a wealthy family in Fort Wayne, Indiana, but was raised in Los Angeles by her single mother. At 12, she was recruited by the film director Allan Dwan and made her screen debut in A Perfect Crime (1921). Eager to become an actress, she signed a contract with the Fox Film Corporation at age 16, but mainly played bit parts. She was dropped by Fox after a car accident left a scar on her face. Lombard appeared in 15 short comedies for Mack Sennett between 1927 and 1929, and then began appearing in feature films such as High Voltage and The Racketeer. After a successful appearance in The Arizona Kid (1930), she was signed to a contract with Paramount Pictures.

Paramount quickly began casting Lombard as a leading lady, primarily in drama films. Her profile increased when she married William Powell in 1931, but the couple divorced after two years. A turning point in Lombard's career came when she starred in Howard Hawks' pioneering screwball comedy Twentieth Century (1934). The actress found her niche in this genre, and continued to appear in films such as Hands Across the Table (1935) (forming a popular partnership with Fred MacMurray), My Man Godfrey (1936), for which she was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress, and Nothing Sacred (1937). At this time, Lombard married "the King of Hollywood", Clark Gable, and the supercouple gained much attention from the media. Keen to win an Oscar, at the end of the decade, Lombard began to move towards more serious roles. Unsuccessful in this aim, she returned to comedy in Alfred Hitchcock's Mr. & Mrs. Smith (1941) and Ernst Lubitsch's To Be or Not to Be (1942)—her final film role.

Lombard's career was cut short when she died at the age of 33 in an airplane crash on Mount Potosi, Nevada while returning from a war bond tour. Today, she is remembered as one of the definitive actresses of the screwball comedy genre and American comedy, and ranks among the American Film Institute's greatest female stars of classic Hollywood cinema.

Biography

Carole Lombard (née Jane Alice Peters le 6 octobre 1908 à Fort Wayne, Indiana, États-Unis – morte le 16 janvier 1942) est une actrice américaine de la première moitié du XXe siècle. Elle est surtout connue pour ses rôles dans des comédies des années 1930 devenues des classiques. Elle commence sa carrière à la fin des années 1920 dans la troupe des Bathing Beauties de Mack sennett. Lombard devient une des plus grandes actrices de comédies de Hollywood dans les années 1930. En 1932, elle tourne Un mauvais garçon qui marquera sa rencontre avec Clark Gable, son futur second époux, dans leur unique film ensemble. On lui proposa le rôle d'Ellie Andrews dans New York-Miami (It Happened One Night) (1934), mais les dates de tournage chevauchaient celles de Bolero ce qui la contraint à refuser3.

Malgré son charme, elle était une comédienne naturelle, et n'avait pas peur de paraître idiote pour faire rire. Sa vivacité et son humour vont s’affirmer pleinement1 dans des comédies comme Twentieth Century (1934) réalisé par Howard Hawks, Mon homme Godfrey (1936) réalisé par Gregory La Cava, et La Joyeuse Suicidée (Nothing Sacred) (1937) réalisé par William A. Wellman, elle reçoit les louanges des critiques et est décrite comme l'une des pièces maîtresses de la screwball comedy. Cependant, elle joue plusieurs rôles dramatiques notamment dans L'Autre avec Cary Grant ou dans Vigil in the Night, interprétant l'infirmière Anne Lee face à Brian Aherne. Produit par David O. Selznick, La Joyeuse Suicidée sera son seul film en Technicolor. Mariée à l'acteur Clark Gable, elle meurt dans un accident d'avion.

Carole Lombard (6 de outubro de 1908 - 16 de janeiro de 1942) foi uma atriz de cinema americana. Ela era particularmente conhecida por seus papéis enérgicos, muitas vezes excêntricos, nas comédias malucas dos anos 1930. Ela foi a estrela mais bem paga de Hollywood no final dos anos 1930. Ela foi a terceira esposa do ator Clark Gable.

Lombard nasceu em uma família rica em Fort Wayne, Indiana, mas foi criada em Los Angeles por sua mãe solteira. Aos 12 anos, foi recrutada pelo cineasta Allan Dwan e estreou no cinema em Um Crime Perfeito (1921). Ansiosa por se tornar uma atriz, ela assinou um contrato com a Fox Film Corporation aos 16 anos, mas atuou principalmente em pequenos papéis. Ela foi deixada por Fox depois que um acidente de carro deixou uma cicatriz em seu rosto. Lombard apareceu em 15 curtas comédias para Mack Sennett entre 1927 e 1929, e então começou a aparecer em filmes como High Voltage e The Racketeer. Depois de uma aparição de sucesso em The Arizona Kid (1930), ela assinou um contrato com a Paramount Pictures.

A Paramount rapidamente começou a escalar Lombard como protagonista, principalmente em filmes de drama. Seu perfil aumentou quando ela se casou com William Powell em 1931, mas o casal se divorciou depois de dois anos. Uma virada na carreira de Lombard veio quando ela estrelou a comédia pioneira de Howard Hawks, Twentieth Century (1934). A atriz encontrou seu nicho neste gênero e continuou a aparecer em filmes como Hands Across the Table (1935) (formando uma parceria popular com Fred MacMurray), My Man Godfrey (1936), pelo qual foi indicada ao Oscar de Melhor Atriz e Nada Sagrado (1937). Nessa época, Lombard se casou com "o Rei de Hollywood", Clark Gable, e o supercouple ganhou muita atenção da mídia. Desejoso de ganhar um Oscar, no final da década, Lombard começou a se mover para papéis mais sérios. Sem sucesso nesse objetivo, ela voltou à comédia em Mr. & Mrs. Smith de Alfred Hitchcock (1941) e To Be or Not to Be (1942) de Ernst Lubitsch - seu último papel no cinema.

A carreira de Lombard foi interrompida quando ela morreu aos 33 anos em um acidente de avião no Monte Potosi, Nevada, quando voltava de uma viagem de guerra. Hoje, ela é lembrada como uma das atrizes definitivas do gênero de comédia maluca e da comédia americana, e está entre as maiores estrelas femininas do cinema clássico de Hollywood do American Film Institute.
