Photo by John Gilhooley Bill Cwiklo is the author of the blog entries on Russ Columbo and Carole Lombard. Born in Wisconsin and educated at Georgetown University, the University of Dijon, France and at American University, Bill is now a consultant in the area of complex litigation and information management systems. His interest in popular music and film started as a child. His parents gave him a radio and a late night Canadian radio station woke him up to the then under appreciated beauty of pre-rock popular music. His mother, a stalwart Russ Columbo fan, brought the tragedy of this great artist to his attention. His research on Mr. Columbo's life and work as well as his interest in cinema have been avid interests ever since. Bill Cwiklo's blogs are very detailed as he uses movies and everything else at his disposal to make his points. Enjoy two very entertaining and uniquely fact filled blogs involving two of the biggest stars to ever come out of Hollywood... Russ Columbo & Carole Lombard
