Something about photos of Lombard and Gable together suggest that theirs was a very egalitarian marriage, and the Heyday article just confirms my suspicion that Lombard would never simper to any man, even Gable. She's a damned admirable woman and Mr Gable was lucky to have her and, judging from these "candid" off-set photos, he knew it.

Jule Andre or Gwilli Andre?
I've come across this picture twice this morning. The first time was following a comment on a photo by Edward Steichen I posted on Flickr of a model called Jule Andre.
MyVintageVogue had posted the same model under the same name. But we both got similar comments from pictosh:
I'm pretty sure that this is tragic Danish model/actress 'Gwili' Andre. Can it be? It's great, that you have a 1920s fashion shot of her!
As far as I know, she was once hailed as New York's most beautiful model.
RKO producers tried to sell her as new Garbo/Dietrich copy in the early 30s, but it didn't work out and she ended tragically by burning herself shortly after her 51st birthday

So, is it the same woman?
