Rare photo collection of film icons from the golden days of Hollywood
I have to give a shout out to a my new favorite Facebook Group called Decaying Hollywood Mansions where I found these rare photos of some iconic Hollywood talent and beauty.
Check these out these rare photos below:
James Dean's timeless iconic beauty
|
Rock Hudson and James Dean messing about
on film set of Giant,
James Dean pretending to punch Rock Hudson in his man junk.
I'm guessing this photo never made it into Look Magazine at the time. |
Robert Mitchum. Gorgous and 100% guy.
|
Truman Capote. Amazing writer:
A poet even with non-fiction.
So talented and gorgeous. Well, for a while he was.
|
(Naughty) Shirley Temple in politically incorrect film.
Somebody leave a comment below as to what film this was from. |
A young, baby-faced Orson Welles
|
Satchmo and Dietrich: Must've been quite a party.
If this is also from a film, someone tell me the title.
|
Veronica Lake in her later years, visiting LA.
Spent her later years in Vermont where, sadly, she lost a battle with alcoholism.
Wonder what her thoughts were while back in Hollywood, here.
I hope she had good people in her life. |
Marlene Dietrich: "The Song of Songs."
*Look how real that statue looks. Bizarre. |
Mia Farrow. This "waif" dated many industry heavy hitters:
Woody Allen, Andre Previn, Frank Sinatra.
|
Charlotte Rampling, another screen beauty
from Georgie Girl to this day. A film beauty and a survivor. |
Vivien Leigh: May be the ultimate classic film beauty and talent.
Tragically lost her battle with depression and alcohol. Married to Lawrence Olivier. Which could not have helped, either. |
Publicity still for Bell Book and Candle
The haunting film beauty, Kim Novak with a much older Jimmy Stewart |
Gable and Harlow. Acting? Hmm. Have to wonder.
This embrace looks more like method acting, to me. Steamy. |
Tippi Hedren getting a light from a talented crow on set of The Birds
Apparently, Hitchcock tortured her with real birds on the set.Nice of him, no? |
Carol Lombard |
Marilyn Monroe |
Carole Lombard, Cary Grant,
Marlene Dietrich, and Richard Barthelmess. at Carol Lombard’s famous party she threw on the Venice pier in June 1935. Apparently, it made Hollywood history books: She was MY kind of girl.
