The image below comes from a rather large photograph I recently purchased off of ebay. It is from 1943 and celebrates Mayer's 60th birthday. You can see a lot of stars from back in the day. It's interesting to see all the clothing and hairstyles. Love all the peep toe shoes:) While googling about Mayer's birthday, I noticed another color photograph taking from a different angle. It's really interesting to see the color version against the BW version.
From Life Magazine:
Omg I loved it! I found Jimmy in his WWII uniform, Sabu, Desi Arnaz, Mickey Rooney, my darling Robert Taylor, Spencer Tracy, Stewart Granger, Gene Kelly....oh dear I can go on! I love this! Thank you for sharing!! xox
ReplyDeleteNo need to look up at the sky tonight, all the stars are here in this fantastic vintage photo! :) Love it - both in B&W and colour. Thank you for sharing this delightful image with us, dear Joanna.
