## Resource

John Michael Heath is back, and this time, we're talking Carole Lombard and William Powell films—Man of the World, Ladies Man, and the iconic, My Man Godfrey, to celebrate the upcoming release of my biographical fiction novel based on Carole entitled Planes and Promises under my Dottie Fray pen name that comes out on 8/10! We chat background trivia for all these films, conspiracy theories about her death, circumstances of their relationship, and how Carole met Clark Gable. Have you seen all three of Carole and William's films? #classicmovies #carolelombard #williampowell
