She sure was beautiful.....
During the Thirties, she was doing a screwball comedy where she was dressed in the sheer pants that were the style at that point. The director looked at the setup of the shot and noticed something that was not quite right. He took Lombard aside and discreetly told her she needed to shave her pubic hair because the shadow of it was showing through the pants.
Lombard went back to her dressing room and returned with a straight razor, which she handed to the director. The director was flamboyantly gay, and he howled, turned and fled -- much to the delight of cast and crew.
