Movie Stars 1931 – 1943
/Some of the issues of the old Photoplay Magazine are available on Internet Archive. I browsed issues from 1943 and back to the time my mother was born in 1931. I was surprised how many of the ‘stars’ I recognized…although they were younger than I had seen many of them. I selected a sample image for each of the volumes (links at the bottom of this post). In the slide show they are in reverse date order…use the arrows to browse through the images. Do you recognize Judy Garland, Clark Gable, Bette Davis, Bob Hope, Will Rogers, Shirley Temple, Katharine Hepburn, and Greta Garbo? It seemed like Bette Davis was featured frequently….and it is interesting to see how her face changed over years.
