Listen kids! I fully expected to do my third installment of my Mary Astor bio this weekend but instead you're getting more summer photos of our stars. (I sure could use that annoying Shirley Temple right now to fill in for me!)
After this horrific few weeks of tornadoes here I really thought that June would bring hope and a bit of solace but sadly my uncle is having open heart surgery tomorrow then my dear mother is going back in for her second heart surgery on Tuesday. For now, I will be doing these filler posts so please bare with me and know that I will be back soon blogging like an idiot and posting until your heads spin! : )
Enough sadness! Lets see some of our favorite stars flaunting it in their bathing suits. Work it girls and boys!

Hey, Carole Landis? Those wedge heels are back in style, you fashion diva!
For the ladies! Buster Crabbe...Surfing lessons anyone?
Joan Crawford relaxes by the pool. Work it, Joanie!
Donna Reed is perfection, right boys?
Hey, ladies! It's Fernando Lamas. Is Lana around?
Gene Tierney is a stunner as she relaxes on the beach in all white. Enjoy your day in the sun, Gene!
This is my favorite candid of any Hollywood star. Francis Farmer posing by her pool. What a beauty and a lost girl at the hands of Hollywood and their ignorance when it came to mental illness.
Jayne Mansfield and all of her natural beauty. Work those curves, girl, you're perfect!
Carole Lombard strikes a pose! A serious pose.
The vivacious, Natalie Wood poses near the water.
For Kevin! Work it Rita!
I'm ending another Summer beach post with the flawless Marilyn Monroe. Who can follow her?
I'll see all of you soon but in the meantime live every hour of every day like it's your last and please leave a comment on these gorgeous stars and their fashion.! : )

Wow, that was Marilyn?
ReplyDeleteShe certainly transformed her looks once she went Hollywood. I love her natural hair color though.
DeleteThanks for stopping by!

Great post. I hope your family are doing well. x
ReplyDeleteHi, BT!
DeleteThings are improving and everone is recovering well. Thanks for stopping by.
Page
These are all such fun photos. I am definitely ready for summer!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing...my thoughts and prayers are with your family during these trying times.
Hugs,
Patti
Thanks, Patti!
DeleteI love these candids so I'm so glad you guys are still enjoying them. Working on a few things and anxious to get back to blogging now that things are settling down here.

Page, that photo of Marilyn is a stunner!
ReplyDeleteHiya, FlickChick!
DeleteI really do love her early publicity stills and I much prefer her natural strawberry blond hair color, don't you?
Page
Gene Tierney looks adorable in that shot.
ReplyDeleteMy sister is a true blue member of Team Buster (meaning Keaton). From now on when I say Team Buster, I'll be thinking Crabbe.
CW,
DeleteI'm not sure if you ever watched Arrested Development but one of the sons who's not all that bright is named Buster so when I see 'Team Buster' I immediately think of him. : )
Page
Loved all the photos, in special Gene Tierney!
ReplyDeleteSorry to comment so late, but I'm praying for your mother! Hope everything will be OK!
Kisses!
LE,
DeleteThanks so much Le. My mom had a successful surgery and she's recovering at home now. She's a tough one. : )
Gene certainly does have a very large fan club. (For obvious reasons)
Page
Thanks, Page, for the Rita photo. Just wonderful and much appreciated.
ReplyDeleteOh, Kev!
DeleteI can't go through my Rita photos without wondering which ones you might like. ha ha
I'm just glad you're a Rita fan and not say, Martha Raye. I don't have many pics of her. lol
Good to see ya!
Page
Fabulous photo of Francis Farmer, plus I love her shoes.
ReplyDeleteI hope everything went well with the surgeries for your mother and uncle. :)
SS,
DeleteGoing to do a bit of an update today but everyone had successful surgeries and they're recovering. Thanks for your continued support. Hopefully things are getting back to normal.
Page
Great cheerful post Page. Surf's up here too, but it sure would be great to have these bathing beauties to gawk at.
ReplyDeleteHi, Christian!
DeleteGuessing you live on a coast which I'm jealous of now. But are you wearing the old 1920s swimwear during your outings? We need to make that a trend now. ha ha
See ya over at your place.

Page, we join you in rooting for your mom and uncle in sending you all the thoughts, prayers, and positive energy you can handle! And as always, your vintage movie star pictorials are always a delight to behold. I especially enjoyed your urging to "Work it, girl!" at the sight of such lovely legends as Carole Landis, Gene Tierney, and especially the poignant photo of Frances Farmer. I had to smile at Carole's wedge heels; the more footwear changes, the more it stays the same, not that there's anything wrong with that! :-) Good luck with everything, my friend, and Happy Father's Day!
ReplyDeleteHi, Dor!
DeleteYou're such a sweet girl and that Vinnie, is the best too.
The surgeries went as well as we could have hoped.
Getting back to blogging now and hopefully, all caught up over at your place and others this weekend. : )
Glad you're still enjoying these candids. Seeing our favorite stars strutting their stuff on the beach or outdoors never gets old for me either.

Lovely photo of Frances (not Francis) Farmer. I'm a fan of hers too. Also enjoyed the fabulous photos of Carole Lombard and Carole Landis.
ReplyDeleteThere are photos of Shelley Winters wearing the swimsuit that Marilyn wore. They were roommates and Shelley said they took turns wearing it.
