“But the hardest part of the picture for Lombard were her love scenes with Fredric March, who was not one of her favorites. A great ladies’ man, March had once made a play for Lombard when they were both under contract to Paramount. Lombard didn’t fancy March’s attentions and pulled one of her raunchiest pranks to discourage him. Inviting March to her dressing room for a drink one night, she proceeded to make herself available. As March’s hand started up her Lombard’s dress, he suddenly let out an astonished oath. He had grabbed a rubber dildo, which Lombard had strapped on herself before his arrival. The shock was too much for March, he never bothered Lombard again.”
-From Gable and Lombard by Warren G. Harris.
