As I’ve often said on Hollywood Yesterday – I have no idea why some Old Hollywood actresses and actors are so much easier to find when shopping. If you’re looking for a Marilyn Monroe or Audrey Hepburn handbag, for example – your only problem will be deciding which one to buy! However, if you’re in the market for a Barbara Stanwyck, Rita Hayworth, Ginger Rogers, or Joan Crawford handbag… well… good luck.
Now don’t get me wrong… I love Marilyn and Audrey as much as anyone… but I want to see more collectibles and merchandise for my other favorites as well.
James Dean or John Wayne? No problem, Pilgrim. But Jimmy Stewart, Glenn Ford, or Clark Gable (outside of GWTW)? Not so easy.
I mean – who decides these things?!
Okay, I’ll climb down off of my soapbox and calm the heck down.
I’m going to start highlighting and posting more posters, collectibles, and “gifts” that feature some of these harder to find stars. Maybe if we buy up enough of them, people will get the idea and give us more.
I’m willing to try!
The gorgeous poster above and the one below are of a personal favorite, Barbara Stanwyck. They’re both available on Amazon – click through the links for a closer look.
How gorgeous was she??!
