A one-woman play in two-acts about the life and times of Carole Lombard. This research of Hollywood's favorite "screwball" comedienne starts on the eve of her death. Following a successful war bonds head to, she awaits expression within an Indianapolis hotel room to see if she's been successful in securing planes reservations for a journey back to Los Angeles. She's troubled to go back home, because she suspects that her hubby, Clark Gable, is cheating on her. Drawing liberally upon her legendary sailor's vocabulary, Ms. Lombard talks about her tragic affair with vocalist Russ Columbo, ex-husband William Powell, as well as George Raft, Gary Cooper, Joseph P. Kennedy and, of course, David O. Selznick and her ill-fated attempt to secure the role of Scarlett O'Hara in Gone with the Wind. Michael B. Druxman's Lombard is not really a depressing play of approaching doom. It really is a warm, funny history of a female - the highest paid film celebrity of her day - who was a "fighter", both in her career and personal life.
