Re: Who is your favorite leading lady that Bing starred with in the 1930s?
David, I love Carole Lombard. Unique and brave lady. Also very beautiful! I read a book a few years back about her and the crash. "Fireball" I believe was the name of it. Excellent book.

Thanks, Pantelis for also reviving this thread and your kind words.
I really should choose Mary Carlisle as she was best suited to Bing but Miss Lombard was just so much fun with her temperament.

Yes, it's so difficult with that amount of talent to chose from. Mary Carlisle, David was perhaps the best one most romantically suited to Bing. Playful empathy and such a beautiful light comedic touch.
Thats the word Ian, romantically suited to Bing....Playful empathy

Great minds think alike, David! I just so wish they had made at least another film together. I keep meaning to see her performance opposite William Powell in their earlier version of "Our Man Godfrey". I saw and enjoyed the later David Niven and June Allyson version around forty years ago but suspect the original would be a more skilled, sophisticated and subtle improvement.
Wow, this is an old poll! Thanks for reviving it. I picked Caroe Lombard. I'm a big fan of hers. Second would be Mary Carlisle.
