And Carole Lombard agrees. Usually when Lombard and Stanwyck talk, I listen. But I don't know about this.

Poor Carole Lombard. She never lived long enough for the cigarettes to kill her.

Well, I mean, if you want that lounge singer kind of voice, I guess...personally, I prefer djarums, but I don't think those were available back then. It'd be cool though.

wow. Now, THAT is star quality. What a lovely cigarette ad - who would believe I'd ever say that?

way back when Tour De France cyclists used to believe smoking while riding increased their lung capacity. LOL. As a smoker, I don't know how ANYONE could ever come to that conclusion.

I love that Luckies are touted to be a lighter, gentler smoke. They're among the harshest cigarettes out there. But I know that by World War II, they were actively trying to woo female smokers (part of the reason the package went from dark green to white), so this was pretty effective advertising.
