Reporter Wally Cook (Fredric March) and Hazel Flagg (Carole Lombard) from Vermont, now famous for being near-death from radium poisoning, fly into New York City, in director William A. Wellman's Nothing Sacred, 1937.

Hazel (Carol Lombard), who hasn't told anybody she's not really dying from radium poisoning, at her tribute dinner, influenced by other chemicals, with iffy support from reporter Wally (Fredric March), editor Oliver (Walter Connolly) and Dr. Downer (Charles Winninger) in Nothing Sacred, 1937.

Tipsy Dr. Downer (Charles Winninger) casually informs Vermonter Hazel (Carole Lombard, her first scene) she isn't dying from radium poisoning after all, a fact she doesn't quite share with Wally (Fredric March), the New York reporter in town chasing her story, early in Nothing Sacred, 1937.

Reporter Wally (Fredric March) resorts to violence as he tries to convince Hazel (Carole Lombard) that she can't quit faking radium-poisoning just yet in Nothing Sacred, 1937, directed by William A. Wellman.

When a small-town girl is diagnosed with a rare, deadly disease, an ambitious newspaper man turns her into a national heroine in Nothing Sacred (1937).
