Claudette Colbert – 1934
Clark Gable and Claudette Colbert in It Happened One Night (1934). Columbia Pictures was considered a “Poverty Row” studio where bigger studios would send their troubled stars as a punishment or a humbling experience. This was true in the case of Clark Gable, who was sent over by MGM after he asked for a pay raise. However, despite Columbia being a smaller and poorer studio, the film was very successful and lifted them out from Poverty Row (Classic Movie Hub).
About
My wife, bless her tells me that I am rapidly becoming, or perhaps that should read have become a “Grumpy old fart”, so what better forum to spread my doom, gloom and paranoia than WordPress. I also have a love of old pictures, postcards and Edwardian Actresses, in particular Miss Gabrielle Ray which I hope to share at regular intervals. As my collection has grown I have set up another blog which contains only pictures of Miss Ray. Gabrielle Ray Thank you for viewing and comments are welcome.
