Carol, Gloria & Tallulah

Post photos of your favorite golden age and contemporary stars. It might be fun to try to keep it mostly of shows/actors from before the year 2000, before this generation was really old enough to appreciate Broadway and plays/musicals in general, as a sort of history lesson. Candid shots, Playbills, movie stars at theater opening nights, theater stars at movie premiere, caps of theater actor's in their few movie roles, summer stock productions, regional productions, etc. are encouraged.

Good sources for photos:
Search "carol Channing tumblr" on google
Just replace carols name with someone else's to find photos of them
Or search "broadway 1975 a chorus line tumblr"
And you can search different shows and years

"The gods who nurse this universe think little of mortals' cares. They sit in crowds on exclusive clouds and laugh at our love affairs. I might have had a real romance if they'd given me a chance. I loved him, but he didn't love me. I wanted him, but he didn't want me. Then the gods had a spree and indulged in another whim. Now he loves me, but I don't love him." - Cole Porter

Curious, how do you actually post these pictures. Is it possible to post pictures that you have taken? Have some pictures from Byrant Park with Megan Hilty (9-5) years ago that people might enjoy.

Gloria Swanson poses amid the ruins of the Roxy Theater, one of great film palaces. It opened in 1927 with The Love of Sunya, starring Swanson. I'm sure I don't need to tell you what show this photo inspired.

I started not to post it because of that, Jordan, but then I decided that this is Gloria Swanson at home.
