Karl prepared a glorious new Doctor Macro scan of Ann Harding in Her Private Affair (1929).  Shown (L to R) are an unknown actor, Ann Harding, and John Loder.  What a great period shot!  This was scanned from an original photo, and it had 76 years of accumulated scratches and goosh.  Karl did a beautiful job of fixing everything.

Jane sent along some new photos too:

Thanks to our guest contributors for these fine images!

We end with some film clips:

Let's start with Va-Va-Voomette Diana Dors.

Karl has a nice picture of Mary Pickford in her 1929 talkie film debut, Coquette.

Mark2 provided a new image of Mary Martin.  The original photo was quite damaged, with several large tears, surface film, and many other impairments.  It's such an interesting cheesecake photo of her, though, we thought we would post it anyway.

More James Stewart from Jane.  Here are three photos from his 1950 film Harvey.  She also sent us four each of Angie Dickinson and Elvis Presley (including an pugilistic pose from Kid Galahad).
