Goodbye Summer 2012!

Well, another summer comes to an end and with that my bathing beauty posts until next year. It's been a fun summer for me here at My Love of Old Hollywood and I look forward to what the rest of the year brings.

Thanks everyone who has visited here so far this year and welcome to all of my new blog followers.  Please stay tuned for more frequent posts on our fabulous classic stars.  I've got some things I'm working on as well continuing my Hollywood At Home series and that rebellious little Shirley will be back to co-host as well (I know Ian's thrilled about that news).  Until then, let's have one last look at the stars enjoying their leisure time in the sun before we fold up our umbrellas and deflate the pool toys.

The beautiful, Maria Montez enjoys a day at the beach.

Lana Turner gets ready to take a dip in her pool.

Joanne Woodward and that gorgeous husband of hers. Paul Newman smile for the cameras.

Leslie Brooks poses poolside.

Rita Hayworth is flawless as she gets ready to swing.  (And one last bathing suit shot for Kev until next summer)

Gene Tierney cools off in her Olympic sized pool.

Noel Neil shows off those perfect legs and that sweet smile.

Sophia Loren and those amazing curves of hers. working that beach.

Marilyn Monroe gives us another pin up pose.

Jinx Falkenberg shows how to wear stripes perfectly. 

Jane Wyatt barbecues in style. 

Cyd Charisse is adorable in polka dots. 

Carole Landis has some fun in the sand.

I hope you've all had a wonderful summer and Happy Labor Day!

  1. Great pix as always, Page. Love that spiffy little white outfit Jane Wyatt is wearing - maybe not the perfect color for a cookout and all that BBQ sauce, but very stylish.

      Thanks so much! I'm kind of sad that the summer fun posts are over and of course that our summer has come to an end even though it doesn't feel like it here at 104 today.

      I could never pull off white at a BBQ. Ha Ha

    1. Nick,
      I'll look into it. I did check out your blog but what I noticed was recent film reviews. I'll get with you via email though.
      Thanks for stopping by.

    1. You're welcome Kev. I'll still be posting pics of Rita. Of course she'll be wearing fur or silly hats. : )

  5. Now that summer is in its end in America it finally starts to get warmer here in Brazil. As an inspiration for next summer, I'd love a swimming suit just like Gene Tierney's!
    Kisses!

    1. Le,
      Good luck on your quest to find the perfect swim suit. I'm sure it won't be very appealing when I start doing my fur posts while you're enjoying the beaches of Brazil. Ha Ha

      I hope you enjoy your summer.

    1. Hi Laura,
      I'm a bit sad that summer is over but now I can focus on bios again and hopefully Shirley will keep everyone laughing as winter approaches. Ha Ha

      Thanks so much for your kind words.

    1. CFB,
      It's very art deco isn't it? I would love to have it today just to put up for auction then I could use the money to buy more autographs and books.

      Thanks for stopping by!

  8. Love all the pictures of the bathing beauties.. but, poor Marilyn Monroe, looks like she is stiff as a diving board..:)

    1. Hiya Dawn!

      To be fair. I think the photographer told Monroe to go pose by the diving board and she interpreted it as posing like a diving board. Ha Ha

      So glad you're doing well.

  9. Page, your bathing suit series always makes me want to break all the mirrors in my house! Cyd Charisse looks so cute. And Jinx Falkenburg -- my Mom said Jinx was her favorite model when she was a kid, and she remembered being thrilled to see her in a cameo part in "Cover Girl." And of course, I really hate Lana Turner, Sophia Loren -- oh hell, ALL of them! Fun, as always!
