This ridiculously beautiful James Dean – Great Man Metal Tin Sign , 16×12 features one of my favorite pictures of James Dean along with one of his best quotes: “If a man can bridge the gap between life and death, and if he can live on after he’s dead, then maybe he was a great man.”
Indeed!

This infamous photo of Audrey Hepburn is one of my favorites. Admittedly, I never met an Audrey Hepburn picture I didn’t love, but this one really seems to capture her delicate grace, lovely femininity, and undeniable beauty.

When the poster for For Your Eyes Only was released, many parts of the country deemed it inappropriate and immodest. In fact, a lot of newspapers actually drew shorts on the model before printing it. The irony, for me, is that they weren’t bothered by the heavy artillery and the violence it represented. Then again, maybe they never saw the weapons.
In any event, it’s definitely one of the most popular and eye-catching movie posters of all time.
One of the most beautiful women in the world, Elizabeth Taylor, would have been 80 years old today. The actress, activist, and style icon died in March 2011. This post is an example of why I created Hollywood Yesterday in the first place – to keep beloved legends like Elizabeth Taylor in front of our eyes: alive, vibrant, and as beautiful as ever.
