If you’d like to contact me – whether it’s in regard to Old Hollywood book reviews (an obsession!), information or photos you’d like to share, or simply to say, “Hi!” – please feel free to e-mail me any time. The best e-mail to reach me at is actually my personal e-mail – joisigers@aim.com. If you have contacted me before, you’ll notice that this is a change of e-mail.

You can also find me (OFTEN) on Twitter – @Hollywoodyeste1 and I’m almost always there talking about my favorite actresses, actors, classic tv shows, old radio shows, and movies.

People and things that make my heart skip a beat!

Thank you so much for visiting Hollywood Yesterday and for doing your part to keep these magical stars, films, and television stars alive and shining as brightly as ever!

DISCLAIMER: I do not own any of the celebrity pictures I use on Hollywood Yesterday. I find them through searches for “Public Domain” images of celebrities. I exercise extreme caution when using pictures I feel are free to use – however, if any picture of an actress or actor slips in that is not free to use, please, please, please let me know and I’ll remove it immediately. Also, if you are a photographer and have taken any of these wonderful pictures and would like credit for them, let me know! I’d love to be able to give you the credit you deserve.

My name is Joi (“Joy”) and I created Hollywood Yesterday as my personal tribute to Old Hollywood. It’s my effort to help keep the stars from Old Hollywood, Classic Television, and Old Radio Shows alive and shining forever. Old Hollywood was sheer magic and I see no reason for the magic to ever die.

Be warned, I am (by nature) overtly positive, I never take anything too seriously, and I overuse exclamation points to distraction. I’m perpetually over-caffeinated.. we’ll blame that.

There’s nothing quite like watching a movie from the Golden Age of Hollywood. Whether it’s a Musical, Western, Comedy, Romance, Film Noir, or Drama – if it’s on, I’m not too far away… with popcorn and raspberry tea in hand and a couple of cats nearby.

More Old Hollywood Movie Reviews

Aside from pictures of books I review, I do not claim to have taken any of the pictures on this website, nor do I own the pictures – the ones of the stars or the affiliate (product) pictures. Other, far more talented photographers than me have the credit for the beautiful photos you see. If you would like credit for a photograph or would like one removed, please e-mail me.

Movie posters and promotional photos are used in the belief that they qualify for the Fair Use law. Fair use is a doctrine in the law of the United States that permits limited use of copyrighted material without having to first acquire permission from the copyright holder. Fair use is one of the limitations to copyright intended to balance the interests of copyright holders with the public interest in the wider distribution and use of creative works by allowing as a defense to copyright infringement claims certain limited uses that might otherwise be considered infringement.

When you click through an affiliate (product, book, dvds..) link, I earn a small portion of the money you spend IF you purchase anything. This does not cost you any extra money, of course. This is how I am able to work from home and support my cats! – Joi
