Vintage Hollywood New Years Celebrity Pics
Mary Pickford, 1923
To promote their starlets, Hollywood motion picture studios would photograph their most popular stars for the holidays in pin-up style photographs. This practice began in the early 1920s and appears to have stopped in the early 1970s.
Clara Bow and Larry Gray, 1925
We’ve gathered an extensive collection for you beginning with Mary Pickford in 1923 to Elke Sommers in 1969. There are some years for which we have several and a few years where we couldn’t find one. But we hope you’ll enjoy the following.
