    Richard Burton was very handsome back then...looks like he was really enjoying his cigarette too!

      I think he married Dorothy Malone later on, right? Yes, many celebrity couples and the TWO Mrs. Reagan's, Nancy and Jane! Crawford hadn't changed much since 1929. She looked just as she did in "The Broadway Melody of 1929". Striking.

    Glorious footage of old Hollywood. I love your channel! Fascinating to see an era when furs were considered essential glamour wear. It looks beautiful but I'm glad this cruelty fell out of fashion. My mum had a fox fur stole with glass eyes and a fox face that she wore in the 50s and as a kid in the 70s I was fascinated by it. Another era.

  • @brianoyler4777
    @brianoyler4777 Před 4 lety +3

    I saw the 2020 Academy Awards, and after watching this clip of the '53 awards, I say " give me the '53 anytime". The women and how they dressed and conducted themselves tell much. The women of 2020 needed to go back and take lessons. Even the men of 2020 needed lessons. I was totally ashamed of the Academy Awards presentation of 2020. From what holes did some of those people crawl.

  • @sandaglad
    @sandaglad Před 7 lety +11

    Fascinating. Joan looks great. Can't get over how beautiful once-mousy-looking Janet Gaynor is. She really blossomed in middle age. Always get a kick out of Louella "and now for my first exclusive" Parsons.

    Fascinating footage! Love Joan Crawford. IMO, she looked her prettiest in the early 1930s. Catch some of her photos from 1933. Gorgeous. She looks attractive here also. Janet Leigh and Tony Curtis are quite a handsome couple. Janet Gaynor was also very attractive here. Enjoyed looking at this and it's in great condition for 1953.

  • @jasbegs1258

    Wow!! Just saw this one!!! What fun!!!! And in color. Nice array of stars, the classic ones and the young starlets like Janet Leigh and Liz Taylor. Joan looks fabulous, as always, and truly touched by the crowd and the people around her, and a little shy, even.☺️ Not one of the other stars has a nose as stunning as Joan’s, I must say. It was so nice to see Joan Fontaine!! She’s always glamorous. All these stars knew how to deck out for a party, by golly.
    And also the Reagans, so young.. a bygone era, sadly.

  • @gizzycatcat6468

  • @xfiler-gl7nc
    @xfiler-gl7nc Před 8 lety +40

    A time when the ladies were draped in furs and diamonds. And leave it to Joan to have two men flock her LMAO. I love it. I saw Richard burton but I'm assuming this was before he and Elizabeth Taylor were married as she was posing with someone else . Was it Michael wilding? Or mike Todd ?

  • @storybellz
    @storybellz Před 4 lety +2

    Yes, the stars of yesteryear were more glamorous, but it goes beyond just their style, it's their mannerisms- their body language. Observe how they move like ladies and gentlemen. The way they move has a sophistication to it, same with the way they spoke. All this combined gave them that air of classiness we all pick up on. And on that note, something interesting I notice about Joan Crawford here is that as much of a movie Queen as she may have been, if one observes her body language, she actually has tremendous humility. She comes across as very shy and humble- especially compared to all the others seen here. And that's interesting, because we always hear about what a striking woman she was, with such a commanding presence, when that's not really the vibe I get at all most of the time, when I watch her outside the movies. She primarily comes across as very shy and humble, and it's rather adorable. 🥰💗

    3:17 Greer Garson….A friend of mine told me that she attended a play put on at a college for the arts and afterwards there was a party that the cast attended. Greer asked him what part he played in the production and when he told her that he designed the set she dismissed him as if he wasn’t important.
