Love that story. It inspired a scene in the Bette Davis film, Jezebel, where Bette’s character rocks up to a White Ball in a red ballgown.Saw this on Instagram and thought I’d share!
David O.Selznick (producer of "Gone With The Wind") was the president of the Mayfair Club at the time and asked Carole Lombard to head up the annual ball, as she was known for throwing the best parties in town. As chairman, Lombard chose to make it a white ball where all ladies were asked to wear white gowns, and the men white ties. White flowers of every variety filled the room. Attendees of this elite affair included Clark Gable, Marion Davies, Joan Crawford, Buster Keaton, Barbara Stanwyck, Claudette Colbert, Gloria Swanson, Bing Crosby, and many more. And then Norma Shearer appeared. Shearer, arriving in grand style was quite the sight in a skimpy, bright red dress designed by MGM costume designer Adrian. Lombard was furious and had to be talked out of marching over to Shearer and kicking her out or throwing a drink on that dress. It was then that Lombard delivered a the line: "Who does Norma think she is - the house madam?"

Yes! It was from an instagram post which showed the scene. Not seen the film myself.Love that story. It inspired a scene in the Bette Davis film, Jezebel, where Bette’s character rocks up to a White Ball in a red ballgown.
She seemingly had mad parties that everyone loved attending. There was a Roman party where everyone had to wear togas, a 'Hillbilly' theme where she had animals everywhere and the waiting staff were dressed in farm overalls. Once, she even had a hospital-themed event not long after she recovered from the flu where guests were brought to the event in ambulances dressed as doctors and nurses and bedpans were used as plates.Saw this on Instagram and thought I’d share!

I wonder if he got the same colour and the double eyelashes too?First thing I noticed was the eyes!
She had a condition called distichiasis I believe (or there is thought that this is why she had such thick eyelashes). I wonder if she got any of the bad side effects from this condition such as eyelashes growing into her eyes. On Google images it looks very painful!I wonder if he got the same colour and the double eyelashes too?
She looks beautiful here.Elizabeth Taylor with her brother Howard, who was an oceanography professor at Hawaii University.
