HORRIBLE photos of Golden Era stars

[Tomasso]

I dare anyone to top this one of Clark Gable:


The King of Hollywood

An homage to a recent Marc Chevalier thread.

 

[Sefton]

Finally I can say that I have something in common with a movie star; bad posture.

 

[Amy Jeanne]

I've got one of Clark pre-stardom where he has crooked and missing teeth!! But, yea, this one IN STARDOM is pretty horrible lol

 

[Feraud]

Gable had his teeth fixed. Early photos show a very David Letterman-esque gap toothed smile.

 

[LizzieMaine]

Give him a tweed jacket and he could play Mr. Bean.

Oh man. How did that one get past the studio? Slouching Gable With Moobs.

 

[Dixon Cannon]

Gable again...

..could this be his Karloff impersonation, perhaps?!!! [huh]

[AmateisGal]

WOW.

I bet he cringed when he saw those.

 

[Tomasso]

WOW.

You can say that again! The studio gave Clark quite a makeover.


That's right up there with Margarita's metamorphosis.

Gosh, I want a 1930s Hollywood makeover, they could make anyone look good!

Gable looks..."un-evolved."

 

[Jerekson]

Wow, I wasn't aware that Gable was such a...turnoff.

Gone windy

There are also some rather unsavoury rumours about the ,ahem, 'lengths' he went to for the role in GWTW.

A dramatic change, but I like both versions.

Never heard about any of that.

Looks like I've got a date with Wikipedia later...

 

[The Wolf]

I believe the book Flesh and Fantasy by Penny Stallings mentions this story.

Neither have I! [huh]

[Hemingway Jones]

Alright everyone, let's keep this very sophisticated. [bad]

That would be a great thread. Why don't you start a thread and post your picture? Tell us what you'd like to work on. I'm sure a lot of people would love to help with the transformation and see the results!
