Lombard (1908-1942) was the brightest star in screwball comedy’s constellation, and her tragic death at 33 made her a Hollywood legend. Ball State film professor Gehring celebrates Lombard’s many gifts in this valentine. Born in Fort Wayne, Ind., and raised in California, Lombard has a quintessentially American, star-is-born saga: she parlayed talent and timing into a stellar career and marriage to Clark Gable, the king of MGM.
