David Bowie and Cher photographed in 1975 on Cher‘s TV program. If I didn’t know this was a photo taken during a performance I would have assumed it was a photo of waxworks! They look very doll-like don’t they?

Robert Vaughn as Napoleon Solo from The Man from U.N.C.L.E. I don’t know when this photo was taken but I would guess mid-1960s. I always thought Robert Vaughn was super cool….

I’ve accidentally inflicted a bit of a clown-themed day on you today, what with Cho Cho the nightmarish children’s health clown from earlier. What can I say (except sorry)? Here’s Lucille Ball dressed as a fat clown. Have a great weekend everyone!

David McCallum as Illya Kuryakin from the TV program The Man From U.N.C.L.E.. This episode is “The Bow Wow Affair” and the girl is Susan Oliver. What an amazing pooch! Anyone know what breed it is? I’m not a dog person but this one’s fabulous!

Roger Moore with Clint Eastwood Hair (IMHO). The photo was taken in 1960 announcing his role as Beau Maverick on the television program Maverick. Good looking boy wasn’t he?

Kim Basinger in the 1970s

Kim Basinger in the 1970s

I don’t think I’d ever seen a photo of Kim Basinger quite this young before. I think I first noticed her as a Bond girl in Never Say Never Again, and she just seemed to be everyhwere for about 10 years after that. This photo is from about 5 years before she had her big(…)
