Post your favorite Old Hollywood Glamour Portraits

Not sure who this is but not only is he handsome, but I really like the kinda bored, jaded expression on his face...

The man.

Lombard by Hurrell

He looks like a Gnome with a haircut from Supercuts, r1.

That's a modern model for Gucci, R1, not Old Hollywood.

Tarzan.

Here's another - Brando

I will never stop posting the portrait of young Gary Cooper.

This one of Cooper is even hotter.

One of the few MGM portraits of Judy where she looked genuinely sexy rather than just pretty.

She had a period of genuine good looks from about the ages of 18-22, before mental illness, overwork, and addiction really started to age her rapidly.

He has beautiful eyes R9 -- never noticed...

Yep, and by all accounts, a big beautiful cock. (Sadly, you cannot see it in any of the pictures.)

seductive

I had this poster on my wall in college.

Deco decadence, Evelyn Brent 1928

JC

Hedy

Miss Doris Day.

Helen Lawson

For such a striking woman, Doris Day sure had a funny looking son.

grace kelly, by karsh

james dean

Louise Hovick by Hurrell

Before she was "Auntie Mame" or "Mother Superior", she was Rosalind Russell...

Gene is absolutely stunning in this portrait.

Lucille Ball

Not exactly a glamour shot, but still beautifully graceful

La publicité!

Richard Avedon photo of Judy Garland from 1951. Really captures her dark, mysterious side.

Harrison by Hurrell.....

The one and only strikingly handsome Errol Flynn.

Norma, Joan, and Rosalind ARE..."The Women"...

Ava was the ultimate movie star goddess.

Norma Shearer

That's so Wong, Mr. Hurrell!

La Liz

Natalie Wood

Carole Lombard

Montgomery Clift, looking rather dapper.

Montgomery and Elizabeth

A coloured photo of Monty and Liz. They were just so painfully beautiful, it almost hurts to look at them.

Adorable

Veronica Lake

Lange by Hurrell

When smoking was glamorous.

....

Marilyn Monroe 1947

as-tu le temps?

Marilyn Monroe 1957

Stanwyck by Hurrell

We, of the stage, would go to Maurice Seymour.

More Monty and Liz.

Belita

I really like how contagious his smile is in this one, and how prominent his beauty marks and wrinkles are. You don't often see them in most other photos of him because of the retouching job they've done on them.

Guy

Bette by Hurrell

Marlon Brando 1948

Tamara Toumanova....

Gypsy.....

oops

Montgomery Clift.

Maurice seems to have liked photographing strippers.....

Maurice giving Kaye glamour....

This Hurrell photo of Bette has to be the most gorgeous one....

A Maurice Seymour classic.....

R55 Christ on a cross.

Montgomery Clift before and after his car accident.

Rock Hudson, down to earth handsome and beefy.

Maureen O'Hara.

R67, Monty was still attractive!

Gloria by Hurrell

Yuk Brenner by George Platt Lynes

[quote]Yuk Brenner

I think that's what Steve McQueen called him.

Who could forget...……..Gloria Swanson?

R74, Gloria Swanson had beady, mean eyes. I don't know how anybody found that appealing.

Bette Davis as Margot Channing

Gown by Adrian.

Immalleable grace by Joan.

That’s nice dear^. Now, let me show you a thing or two about GLAMOUR.

R16, great picture of Joan Crawford. I never realized how beautiful she was until I saw early portraits like these.

R46, that should be called Portrait of the Ravages of Alcohol. You can see it around his eyes. And he's still hot.

Claudette Colbert. Never thought she was attractive, but they at least made her look somewhat appealing here.

They had style,

they had grace,

Joan Crawford gave good face.

Crawford in early 1930s makeup, lighting, costumes, etc., made quite an arresting figure. She was a goddess among mere mortals. In later decades, she become less goddess and more gorgon.

Burt Lancaster

R32 couldn't you have found a picture of me without those two slags?

Scarlett

Brooke......

R82 Crawford looked really lovely in the 1930s. Very attractive. Sudden Fear (1952) was on tv the other night, she looks so odd in it. Sort of lanterned jawed strangeness. And a truly hideous knitted wig/hairstyle thing.

Sophia Loren! Pure Glamour!

Stunning broad

Tyrone Power

Robert Taylor

A better photo of the beautiful Robert Taylor.

Gorgeous in Camille.

Jean Harlow by Hurrell...

Veronica by Hurrell

R94 I always found that image disturbing, it’s like they are xraying her insides somehow.

R96 I see what you mean. But it was one of Hurrell’s favorite photos of her. You can clearly see her facial flaws - the small, deep-set eyes, oddly shaped nose and heavy brow, but at the same time it is a stunning piece of art...as if she’s a carving of marble or something.

Hurrell

A really glamorous photo of Kate Hepburn for THE PHILADELPHIA STORY

James Stewart.

Joan looking seductive and fierce.

Singer Doris Day way back when.

The great Garbo.

Brando...

The handsome Robert Redford.

R105 That looks more like a casual shot than a studio portrait.

What r106 said...several photos here don’t qualify because they are not Hollywood stars or they aren’t glamour shots.

R107 Thanks for the support and help keeping them in line, if only we had the power to delete the ones that don't qualify!

My response to the Sharon Tate was unattractive troll.

Tallulah

Bacall...

Anna Sten

Marlene

Ava

They wanted Anna to be another exotic European femme fatale in the vein of Garbo and Dietrich, but as pretty as she was, she lacked charisma.

Isa Miranda

Ava Gardner

Olivia

I think Olivia tried to post that link herself.

The glamorous Robert Redford - even autographed!

The one and only Rudolph Valentino - the first male sex symbol in movies. He died when he was only 31 and Hollywood was turned upside down.

Gilbert Roland

The rugged Charlton Heston, one of the all time greats.

Professional pose of Charlton Heston and his son.

Innocent back in the day but strangely erotic. Probably wouldn't pass muster in our day and time of PC police.
