“During the shooting of My Man Godfrey, fellow workers were much more conscious of the fact that leading man William Powell was once the husband of leading lady Carole Lombard than the two principals themselves. For example, one of the studio boys knocked on Miss Lombard’s door and said, ‘Miss Powell, you’re wanted.’ ‘Tell Mr. Lombard I’ll soon be there,’ replied the slightly nettled Carole.” – Sheilah Graham
