Debra Paget, Prince Valiant: The Gorgeous Picture of the Day We Deserve!

April 16, 2020 By Joi Leave a Comment

Debra Paget, Prince ValiantDebra Paget, Prince Valiant

Stunningly beautiful Debra Paget is an actress most “normal” individuals aren’t too familiar with, and that drives me bonkers.  In a general use of the term, I call those people who don’t live, breathe, think, daydream, and eat old Hollywood on a daily basis “normal.” This normal crowd isn’t as familiar with Debra Paget as she should be.

She should be a household name!

So many of our wonderful actors and actresses from classic movies and television have gotten lost in the shuffle over time. Many stars who lived more dramatic lives or, tragically, died far too young, are more remembered than many others who are just as deserving of remembrance.

Often, the films the stars appeared in have a say in how well-remembered they are, too. If you were fortunate enough to be in a film that is shown frequently on television, you have a much better chance at becoming a household name for future generations.

For wonderfully talented stars such as Debra Paget, sometimes the factors above just don’t work in your favor. Beauty, talent, charisma, and class…. and yet, it is only those of us who truly cherish the classic age of Hollywood who know and appreciate her.

Not to worry, though, you and I are going to do something about that, aren’t we?! That’s why we’re here online sharing pictures, information, facts, movies, and names… we will MAKE them household names or overdose on caffeine trying!

Oh, just me? Okay… I’ll drink enough coffee and raspberry tea for all of us.

If you aren’t familiar with Debra Paget films, I hope you’ll search them out. She was truly something special.

Debra Paget, The Ten Commandments

Beautiful Debra Paget, The Ten Commandments

Debra Paget is, undoubtedly, one of the most beautiful actresses of all time. Absolutely stunning, if we’re being honest.

She was also a very good actress and brought a lot of personality and charisma to every role she graced. One of my favorite Debra Paget films is The Ten Commandments. If you’ve never seen this epic film (or if it’s been a few years since you viewed it), I recommend getting your hands on a copy and losing yourself in the splendor.

Remarkable movie, remarkable cast, and… most of all… a remarkable piece of History.

Is this an eye-catching picture of the day or what?! The lovely Debra Paget is one of the stars from classic Hollywood that is as beautiful inside as outside.

Which, if you look at her pictures is really saying something!

Lovely Debra Paget Quote About Elvis Presley

January 16, 2018 By Joi Leave a Comment

Elvis Presley and Debra Paget, Love Me Tender
Elvis Presley and Debra Paget, Love Me Tender

About Love Me Tender (1956):
“Originally, it had no songs. Elvis didn’t want to sing, but they wanted to cash in, so he did sing in the movie. I didn’t know Elvis was to do the picture until it was time to do the film. I was very shy, very quiet and very immature for my age. I was in my very early twenties but I was emotionally more like a 16-year-old. Elvis and I just sort of came together like a couple of children really. Following the film, he did ask me to marry him, but my parents objected to my getting married. I cared about Elvis, but being one not to disobey my parents, that did not take place. He was a precious, humble, lovely person. Elvis had a lot of talent; there was a lot of depth they never used.” ~ Debra Paget

Love Me Tender (Amazon dvd link) also starred Richard Egan, Robert Middleton, William Campbell, Neville Brand, and Mildred Dunnock.

Old Hollywood Movie Reviews

The Quiet Man is one of the most beautiful, entertaining, colorful, and perfect movies ever made. Two of my favorite stars (Maureen O’Hara and John Wayne) in one of my favorite movies? It doesn’t get much better than that!

More old movie reviews.

Paulette Goddard and Charlie Chaplin, Modern Times

Thank you so much for visiting Hollywood Yesterday! You honor me with your presence and I hope you’ll return very soon and very often.

Stay positive. Stay happy. Stay you.

Meet: Mildred Davis

Mildred Davis

The beauty above is Silent Film star Mildred Davis. She was a frequent co-star (and longtime wife) of legendary actor Harold Lloyd. She’s one of my favorite silent film actresses and one I can’t understand not being a household name!
