Vintage Beauties We Can’t Take Our Eyes Off
Step into the past with a treasure trove of vintage photos featuring celebrities and remarkable figures of yesteryear. From glamorous movie stars to edgy rock icons, these snapshots capture the essence of bygone eras.
Lynda Carter
Few scenes in television history have made us giggle as hard as this particular scene! This is from the called the Pied Piper from the hit TV show Wonder Woman (1975 – 1979), a scene in which Diana Prince is forced to sit in a spinning chair. Consequently, she also has to go through her iconic transformation while going round, and round, and round again.
In the end, Diana manages to escape, surprising no one. What? Did anyone think they could best Wonder Woman with a chair!? She later goes on to save Joe Atkinson’s daughter from the same evil rock star that attempted to stop her.
Elizabeth Montgomery
Elizabeth Montgomery’s entertainment career spanned 5 decades. She’s most well known for portraying Samantha Stephens on the television series Bewitched (1964-1972).
Montgomery earned herself five Primetime Emmy Award nominations and four Golden Globe Award nominations for her amazing acting on the series, but we’d like to shed some light on another project she starred in.
Here we have a picture taken on the set of Johnny Cool (1963) a film about a gangster named Johnny Cool (who would have guessed?) played by Henry Silva. In the movie, Montgomery’s character, Darien “Dare” Guinness falls in love with Johnny despite the fact that she he is a cold-blooded murderer.
Batgirl — Yvonne Joyce Craig — 1967
Yvonne Joyce Craig getting ready for action on the set of Batman (1966-1968), where she portrayed the crime-fighting Batgirl as the police chief’s daughter, Barbara Gordon’s alter ego. The decision to bring Batgirl on the show was due to failing ratings after just two seasons. Thus, the first superheroine to appear in an ongoing capacity on television was born!
Craig was also known for playing Martha during one episode of the popular series Star Trek, Whom Gods Destroy (1969). Suffice it to say, she was the go-to superheroine of her time!
But after several years in the entertainment industry, the actress/dancer decided to retire and later became a real estate broker. She passed away on August 17, 2015, aged 78.
British model Beverley Pilkington was known for many sexy ad campaigns, including the ones for Big D nuts, commonly sold in various pubs across the UK and Ireland. The campaign included packages, calendars and T-shirts and is widely believed to have skyrocketed sales.
And despite the fact that she could have gone a long time working on other similar campaigns, in 1975, Pilkington decided to try on… something different. She took part in a photoshoot that supported Europe’s continued membership in the EEC, despite the fact that many cabinet members at that time were asking for its withdrawal.
However, voter support was outstanding. We think it had something to do with Pilkington’s ‘Europe or bust!’ T-shirt.
