Back to Golden Days

Esther Williams looking fabulous as always. Loretta Young is struggling to carry all of her presents. Christmas with Desi Arnaz and Lucille Ball. Ann Blyth looking lovely and festive. Colleen Moore singing Christmas carols. Jean Harlow putting up her Christmas garland. Little Shirley Temple dressed in a little Santa costume. Carole Lombard sitting next to her gorgeous Christmas tree. Your tree looks great too, Janet Gaynor. Christmas at the Stewarts. That's James Stewart's wife Gloria, with their twin baby daughters, Judy and Kelly, and sons, Ronald and Michael. Merry Christmas to you too, Janet Leigh. And Merry Christmas to all of you. 

Clara Bow in her Hollywood costume (1920s).   Here she is again in a different outfit (1930s). Esther Williams is ready to dive into Halloween. Jerry Lewis is right in the Halloween spirit, but Dean Martin doesn't look too pleased. Maybe he's more of a Christmas kind of guy. Betty Grable reading spooky stories. Judy Garland also likes to read scary stories. Look how cute her little furry friend is. Black cats are my favourites. Cyd Charisse makes for a very classy witch. Also, is it me or do the pumpkins look like villains from a swashbuckling film? Janet Leigh also choose to go as a sexy witch. Yet another witch, this time in the form of Colleen Moore. I think Veronica Lake wins on the witch department. She even has cauldrons! Gloria Swanson, Marion Davies, Constance Bennett and Jean Harlow at a costume party hosted by Davies (early 1930s). Clark Gable, Carole Lombard, Mervyn LeRoy and William Randolph Hearst at another of Davies' lavish cost...

The lovely Esther Williams visits the sexy Marlon Brando on the set of Joseph L. Mankiewicz's Julius Caesar (1953)

ESTHER WILLIAMS (August 8, 1921 — June 6 , 2013) The wisdom you acquire with the passage of time is a useless gift unless you share it.
