Springtime For Old Hollywood

It's that time of year when we plan out our Spring gardens, pack away our scarves and sweaters and await the gorgeous weather. With that, our favorite classic stars headed outdoors as well for their glamorous and planned photo ops.

Marilyn Monroe takes some time to enjoy nature.

Paulette Goddard takes advantage of the weather to enjoy a good book between some knitting. (This doesn't look scripted at all!)

Kim Novak also does some lounging with a good book.

June Haver is ready for Spring in her very stylish outfit as she poses outside of her home.

Louise Brooks is picture perfect in her Spring fashion.

Ida Lupino knows that a girl needs to focus on fitness if she's going to fit into the very stylish bathing suits of the day.

Hedy Lamarr enjoys a day in the park in one of her signature dresses. 

Esther Ralston is cute as a button as she poses in her Spring dress with matching bonnet. 

It's great that Jean Parker is being such a good sport here but that shrub with it's shape is so distracting and that hat. (These are glamour dont's although her body is to die for!)

Ella Raines and her cute little kitten do some gardening.

Greta Garbo enjoys her down time to relax on her sun porch. It must have been so exhausting to be Garbo!

Bette Davis looks lovely as she poses among Cherry Blossoms.

Ava Gardner shows us that you don't need fancy clothes to enjoy a gorgeous Spring day from your back porch. If this woman didn't have stalkers I would be very surprised!

Thanks for stopping by and please leave a comment on your favorite photo, strange prop or even what you're up to during these gorgeous days we're having.

  1. Spring is a wonderful time to read and take colorful pictures. My favorite of the bunch was the one with Louise Brooks.

    1. Hi, Le!
      I bet you're having some delightful weather over there.

      So glad you enjoyed these fashion pics even though their props are so silly at times.

  2. "It must have been so exhausting to be Garbo!" Ha-ha-ha-hee-hee-hee-har!

    I used to have a dress similar to the one Hedy is wearing. Didn't look like her though. H'mm. Time to dust off the cotton caftan.

    1. CW,
      I love Hedy's little dresses she wore. Very reminiscent, an homage to her birthplace.

      It's time to bust out the cotton over here too. The back of my knees are sweating but that might be from the progesterone cream. ha ha

      I hope you're enjoying your Spring so far.

  3. Garbo is exhausted under the weight of her aura.

    As for Jean Parker - well, shut my mouth!

    1. FlickChick,
      You have me laughing over here. Poor Garbo!
      Jean Parker looks to be saying "Are you sure this looks fashionable?" That is such an unfortunate photo shoot.

      Thanks for stopping by!

    1. SS,
      I can't really tell what the style is. Plain but very stylish. : )

  6. Hi Page! Great photo post as always. Your Garbo comment made me laugh...it's just sooo exhausting being the "Great Garbo." *Yawn* Never have gotten the allure there. Ava Gardner, on the other hand...rowr!
