Favorite Golden Era Couples

[rue]

Yeouch... Did that end badly. I wouldn't call it fine at all!

I know! :eeek: But they were cute to look at... she was a doll

 

[Tomasso]

Barbara Stanwyck and Robert Taylor

Nice and furry, just for Had......

 

[C-dot]

William Powell and Jean Harlow, the original blonde bombshell.

They're one of my favourites too, though the story surrounding them is truly tragic. He bears a striking resemblance to her father (so did all of her husbands to some degree.)

There is a great interview with biographer David Stenn (who did Harlow incredible justice with his book, IMHO) that details what became of the famous star sapphire cabochon that Powell bought her, found here.

~Some more celebrated couples of the past! these are writers and painters.

Simone de Beauvoir and Jean-Paul Sartre.

Anais Nin and Henry Miller


Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo

 

[HadleyH]

On screen Charles Boyer was the great lover, playing leading man to Dietrich, Bergman, Garbo and Hepburn. Off screen he was true to one woman for forty-four years - his wife actress Pat Patterson - and when she died tragically in 1977, he commited suicide a few days later.

Ahhhhhhhh L'amour toujours l'amour!

 

[Tomasso]

I love her hats!

 

[HadleyH]

I love her hats!

Yes! both of them great hats! :eusa_clap

 

[Tomasso]

Lew Ayers and Ginger Rogers.

 

[Absinthe_1900]

William Desmond Taylor & lots of women

Most likely Mabel Normand in real life to some extent.....Taylor had quite an interesting, and cloudy past.

Jean-Luc Godard and his muse/wife, Anna Karina

Nothing personal but are the 60s considered Golden Era?

Nothing personal but are the 60s considered Golden Era?

This is my understanding and guideline when considering what the Golden or Classic era is and is not. If I am in error I would appreciate your thoughts.

"The Golden Age of Hollywood, which lasted from the end of the silent era in American cinema in the late 1920s to the early 1960s, movies were prolifically issued by the Hollywood studios." Some consider Golden Age to have officially ended in 1968 when the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) had replaced the Hays Code–which was now greatly violated after the government threat of censorship that justified the origin of the code had ended—with the film rating system."

Another definition is: "Classical Hollywood cinema or the classical Hollywood narrative , are terms used in film history which designates both a visual and sound style for making motion pictures and a mode of production used in the American film industry between roughly the 1910s and the 1960s."

As far as French New Wave and the latest photos I have posted, a concise perspective is expressed as follows: "The French New Wave is one of the most significant film movements in the history of the cinema. During the late 1950s and early 1960s, the New Wave rejuvenated France's already prestigious cinema and energized the international art cinema as well as film criticism and theory, reminding many contemporary observers of Italian neorealism's impact right after World War II."

Well of course opinion varies but we should define the Era so it never come to this......

Thanks for your input I would never post a picture of a bicycle in this thread unless it was a tandem and had a Golden era couple on it...

Lillian and Walt Disney

First secretary, Lillian Bounds, on Kingswell Avenue c. 1925.

Lillian was working at the Disney Studio in "ink and paint" and secretary when she met Walt. She had short brown hair, was slim, and was thought to be very stylish. She took deep pride that Walt would drive the other girls home before her, even though her stop was the closest.

Denys Finch Hatton and Karin Blixen.
