Today would have been the 102 birthday of Claudette Colbert. For those of you who don't know, she was a 2 time Academy Award winning super star of film during the Golden Age of Hollywood. She was greatly respected in the industry and she was working well into her 80's (she won an Emmy at the age of 84).

Here she is in one of her more famous films, "It Happened One Night", with Clark Gable for which she won her first Academy Award for Best Actress in 1935.



Here is another image from the same film where Clark Gable has removed his shirt. This was very controversial at the time...



And here is a great image I found of her from 1924 which I have digitally enhanced

And here she is in 1986 at the age of 83 with actor Stephen Collins in "The Two Mrs. Greenvilles" for which she won an Emmy Award.
