Nothing from the US, and all I can see are Cinderellas, and a fantasy stamp with her name on it, but the picture is of Clara Bow.

Thanks Guys, I had tried Google as I don't know much about US stamps. I guess I will have to go with Sierra Leone if I can find them on sale. I see one of them has both Gable and Lombard together so that may be the best one to go with.

An interesting addition to your collection might be a "Hollywood Fan Mail" cover addressed to Carole Lombard.
I do not have one in my collection, but here are some samples:
Stamporama Exhibit: Mail to Famous People - Hollywood
If anyone has some of these to spare, I would be interested in a trade. I have a number of duplicates of the ones in my collection.
Also, non-Hollywood famous people wanted / traded.

British actor Leslie Howard (Gone With the Wind, The Scarlet Pimpernel) is another actor who died on a WWII DC-3 flight from the UK to neutral Portugal, shot down by a flight of German fighters.

The Germans apparently thought Churchill was on board the plane. They based this on a sighting by one of their agents of a man boarding the plane who resembled him. False, of course.

Thanks for all the suggestions. Roy the Leslie Howard one has great back story. Shame as it looks like he is another star ignored by the issuing authority in his country. Still Fujeira seems to have one;-)

Don't forget that Ras Al Khaima is now fully listed for the first time in the 2020 Scott Catalog! I suspect that over the next few years, all of the "Sand Dunes" will be fully listed.

Here is another famous DC-3 (actually a C-47) crash for you, with a stamp:

The 1957 crash of a Douglas C-47 plane named "Mt. Pinatubo" on the slopes of Mount Manunggal, Cebu, Philippines, killed the 7th President of the Philippines, Ramon Magsaysay (Wikipedia)

Does anyone know of stamps showing Carole Lombard? I can only track down two from Sierra Leone so far. Hasn't the US issued one this far? I would add it to my DC-3 collection as she died in a plane crash in 1942 on the way back from a bond drive to see her husband in Hollywood. He was the great Clark Gable. The plane was a TWA DST, an early DC-3 model and hit a mountain after taking off from Las Vegas. The ground beacons were turned off so as not to help Japanese bombers
