Old Hollywood Stars: Before and After

[wahine]

Such a cutie when he was a kid, and as a man, well i will never get bored of swooning over Elvis!

I second your statement and add: *whooooooo*

Who'd imagine that this


could grow up from this

?!

I didn't know he dyed his hair!

Oh yes he did!

The story goes that Elvis wanted to be like Tony Curtis.

A natural blond, he dyed his hair in imitation of his 50s idol’s shiny black pompadour and continued tinting it that unnatural blue-black colour until the very end.


Any color of the rainbow, what difference does it make? it's all good ...

Indeed it is, Elvis is responsible for my total pomp hair fetish haha! It always tickled me he modelled his look on the greasy haired truck drivers he used to see driving about when he was a kid and he used to wear the black and pink trouser and shirt combo when he was at high school and get picked on! I'm not an Elvis fan by the way, can you tell?

Let me present you with the beautiful Ingrid Bergman

Here she is at age 19

And here with Bogey

And then in her later years

 

[Odalisque]

Yowza!!!

I think he looks a lot like his mom.

I would take Elvis, blond... black haired.... skinny.... fat.... heck, he could even shoot my TV if he wanted to! lol

 

[Gromulus]

Gorgeous,indeed!

OK, a man chiming in here. From the time I was old enough to know the difference between men and women to my "young" age of 52 now - Sophia Loren still takes my breath away! Perhaps it is my Italian/Sicilian heritage but she holds a special place for me. Raquel Welch and (a younger) Elizabeth Taylor are close behind with Ava Gardner and Rita Hayworth in the running.

Thanks for the pics!

I agree! I think she's amazing.

Love him!

Marilyn's been mentioned, but I've haven't seen pics of her as a child before:

 

[Miss Golightly]

Gorgeous photos of Norma Jeane, Cherry Lips - thanks for posting them!

 

[I Adore Film Noir]

cherry lips, if I may, I'd like to add to your original post:

Greta Gustafsson:

Greta Garbo:

I'll always remember her line from Anna Christie, and if I remember correctly, Marie Dressler was in the scene: "Gimme a viskey ... and don't be stinchy, baby".

 

[Black Dahlia]

These have probably already been posted, I'm unsure.

Dita, before and after. She's not an 'old' Hollywood star, but I don't think there is a thread devoted to before and after shots of 'new' stars?

She amazes me. Seeing her before pictures always makes me think: "80s valley girl to pinup", since that is what her before pics look like to me...

 

[Clabbergirl]

Thanks for much for starting this thread. I have enjoyed looking at all the stars and even learned a few things (I had no idea about Rita Hayworth's transformation). I'd never even thought of Laurence Olivier as a young man, let alone see a photo of him either. Awesome!
