1930s Old Hollywood Scrapbook
 |
| Grandma, a few years later in 1941, enjoying a beer? with her girlfriends |
Many of the photographs are from a 1930 / 31 issue of the "New Movie Magazine's Gallery of the Stars" which wasn't very far removed from today's tabloids. It was fun to see that relationships, weight, style, and snarky quotes filled the pages then too, albeit with a lot more glamour and grace.

See a many more of my favorite pages after the jump! ...including a very young Cary Grant, some juicy gossip on Mae West, stinging criticism for Marlene Dietrich, the most beautiful pictures of Bette Davis and Mae Clark, and a page of the actresses' weight and measurements!
Shoe size 4?
David Manners and Kay Francis
Jean Harlow. Fierce even in polka dots.
Jean Muir. Represent for NJ!
Seven kinds of love for that Carole Lombard dress!
How gorgeous is Fay Wray in this shot? It looks like she is materializing out of some kind of heavenly sparkling fabric dream sky.
Bette Davis. So stunning!
Cary Grant, my favorite <3
Iris Lancaster and Joan Blondel in sequins and lace! I actually have some loungewear that will be in the store soon resembling Joan Blondel's number.
Mae Clark, those earrings, that hat, snow leopard. I just love everything about this photograph.
That's fully committing to the exaggerated eyebrow!
How grand and dreamy and... french.
"Madge Evans... drives a speedy coupe speedily" And I want that cherry appliqué dress!
I'm not sure if it because the pictures were slightly distorted but I thought this game was kind of funny.
A girl could get lost in those eyes....
"Greta Garbo makes $9,000 a week(!) and my favorite quote from the scrap book, 'Marlene Dietrich: Mechanical doll giving illusions of beauty, which someone forgot to wind up.'"

This was also in the scrapbook and has set the bar for any future Halloween festivities at my house. Who wouldn't want to get their hands on that Beistle napkins and tablecloth set!
