daily dose #4

yes, yes it's not monday! but i haven't done one for a while and thought i would make up for lost time. plus, i'm trying to ease my way back into blogging. and i absolutely love posting lovely pictures. i'll be dedicating this daily dose strictly to my favourite old classic actors. i think you all know by now who they are <3

Daily Dose is hosted by the lovely Holly -- over at Good Golly Miss Holly!


james dean. i discovered this picture for the first time yesterday, love that it's in colour and in such great quality!
james dean and elizabeth taylor. arghhh!! this picture. love how he's looking at the magazine with her picture on it as she sleeps beside him. fact: she is actually asleep. and he held up the magazine on purpose as the camera man was about to take his shot. james dean, of course, found it very amusing <3
james dean and elizabeth. so great how they're so at ease with each other. they became close on the set of giant. (amazing movie)

this is so cruel. why james dean, why! why must you love tea and delicious cake and then give us your brooding/intense/smexy stare *sobs*


ava gardner. this gal was just stunning. 
marilyn and then husband arthur miller. poor girl seems to have been caught off guard. a little awkward but very charming picture, in my opinion anyway ;) 
brando. looking rather dashing, if i must say so myself :)

brando on a lunch break on the set of  'a streetcar named desire' fantastic movie! 
 Audrey hepburn, fixing ze hair.

she looks so pretty! 

 paul newman and *his wife* (i think. i'm pretty sure it's her) one of hollywoods longest lasting couples.

audrey hepburn and grace kelly. this was at the oscars i think. (in a dressing room) this has to be one my favourites. just love how girly the two seem, as if they're sharing something scandalous.
the two again. look how graceful, elegant and gorgeous they look *pouts*

audrey hepburn. (at home me thinks.) looks so chill. she was a natural beauty as you can see :)
Brando. oh my god. such a great moment. i love this

brando. LOOK AT THAT CAT!

brando and marilyn. good mates. were in contact and apparently (the two had an affair up to her death, says brando in his bio)

one of the rare pics of these two together. james dean was a huge brando fan. he was his idol. 
steve mcqueen and natalie wood (dated for a while)

james dean and elizabeth taylor (as you can tell from the pics, they were very good mates )

paul newman

ava gardner and frank sinatra (were very much in love and dating at the time)

elizabeth taylor :)

Marilyn. something very mysterious about this picture. (which is why i love it)  it gives me that vibe anyway.

elizabeth and  marlon brando (also very good mates. remained close until he passed away)


james dean being his cool usual self xD

 james dean and pier angeli (his then girlfriend.) i love how he's looking at her in this picture. they were crazy in love, they say :)

mariyln. she looks gorgeous here. the bright colours really suit her.

james dean and elizabeth

such a cute picture! awwhhhh.

 marilyn with her then husband. very sweet picture.
 LOL. james dean signing autographs. darn it! how is this man cool even when he's sitting on a dustbin. how?!!
