Claudette Colbert & Carole Lombard (via zuma)
“When Dietrich, Lombard, and I were all working for Paramount… I was the girl next door- but a chic girl next door. Marlene was sexy; and Carole Lombard was the girl next door but crazy.”
-Claudette Colbert
Blooper reels are rarely available for films that are over 70 yrs old, but luckily that’s not the case for My Man Godfrey (1936).
Carole Lombard was famous for having the mouth of a sailor and she admirably lives up to that reputation in this outtake reel for My Man Godfrey.

“We called her ‘The Profane Angel’ because she looked like an angel but she swore like a sailor.”
-Mitchell Leisen
On horseback riding:
“I don’t know why the hell everybody thinks this is so great. To me it’s like a dry fuck.”

Carole Lombard & William Powell in My Man Godfrey (1936, dir. Gregory LaCava) (terrific blooper reel from the making of My Man Godfrey featuring Lombard & Powell previously posted here)
“Oh Godfrey, now I know you love me!”
“I do not love you and you’re going to get me all wet!”
“You do or you wouldn’t have lost your temper. Oh, Mother - Godfrey loves me! He put me in the shower!”
