At first, I was a little surprised to see this August 1923 cover depicting an astronaut, complete
with helmet. Then I remembered Frenchman George Melies' wildly popular 1902 movie, "A
Trip to the Moon," loosely based on Jules Verne's "From the Earth to the Moon" and H.G. Wells'
"The First Men in the Moon." Melies was actually a pro magician and inventor, but he quickly
saw cinematic possibilities incorporating magic and "camera tricks." Fanciful though it was,
Melies' film was really a satire, poking fun at science and the stuffy scientific establishment!
YOU can clearly see this if you review a copy of the movie, complete with its originally ending
-- thought lost until only about a decade ago! The movie has been meticulously restored, in
both its original black-and-white and hand-colorized versions. Wow! Here's a 110-year-old
movie that still passes my first test of a "good" flick: It's entertaining!

"A Trip to the Moon" was and is Melies' best known and most popular movie, though he made
little money on the movie's U.S. circulation. Why? Most of the prints shown in the U.S. were
pirated by Thomas Edison's technicians. International copyright law was a shakey affair in
1902, so Edison was not compelled to pay Melies for his work. Though Melies continued to
make movies for years, his visual compositions consisted mostly of stiffly edited, static single
scenes, usually lacking even close-ups. Not surprisingly, more progressive film techniques --
including editing together multiple shots and camera angles to build scenes -- helped the
likes of D.W. Griffith, and even Edison himself, to great progress and financial success, while
Melies' studio eventually went out of business. But, arguably the first to use special effects
and animation in movies, Melies will always be the CREATEUR du SPECTACLE CINEMATO-
GRAPHIQUE!

Looks like she's had a lot work done. Sometimes you just can't go back.

 

This 2011 photo is perfect proof that MetalShapes, Ryan, Kevin and all the moderators "get" this thread AND do follow the thread. It illustrates the "Then&Now" theme that Mo introduced, I think, within the first year of Dog's thread. As Metalshapes said (paraphrasing), a more recent shot that illustrates a valid and valuable point is tolerated. But it shouldn't be construed as a chink in the armor of the HAMB rules. We must be reasonable, e.g., when one poster shows an original Tucker photo, and another shows a artist's computer-graphic rendition of what a 2011 Tucker might have looked like. Or, someone shows vintage Barbara Eden, and another shows one of how she looks now in her 70s. (And someone shows a bit more!)

Before I shut up entirely on the subject, I do feel that most HAMBers who are vested in this thread (as opposed to occasional visitors and first-timers, who can be forgiven for goofing up) REALLY APPRECIATE the efforts of ALL the mods -- as well as the reality that we (myself included) tend to get OT now and then. Seriously, SORRY that we cause you to tear your hair. Thanks, Metalshapes for saying it's (usually?) worth it!

Great January 1945 pulp fiction cover art, thanks to a keen site called Hidden Knowledge
(MagazineArt.org). They love pop culture, so try and search them, if you have hours to spend!

 

Some classic Packard ads, thanks to MagazineArt.org. Amazingly (to me, anyway),
in the second magazine ad, it's 1938! Yet Packard is already playing heavily on nostalgia!
Awesome.

This was from a Twilight Zone show if I remember correctly.

 

Looks like Judy Carne but the link shows Deborah Walley/

 

Deborah Walley was in on the first wave of '60s surf movies. She's
shown here with her singing co-star, James Darren ("Goodbye, Cruel
World!"), while heartthrob Michael Callan is "supporting player" to
Vicki Trickett in 1961's "Gidget Goes Hawaiian." Pic thanks to Holly-
woodTeenMovies. BTW, Darren was the only actor to appear in all
three of the original Gidget movies, playing surfer Moondoggie,
Gidget's love interest. He played opposite Sandra Dee in 1959's
"Gidget." Walley beat out 150 other actresses to play Gidget, fol-
lowing Dee.

For the Barbara Eden fans here!

Pretty sure it's Deborah Walley. She had short hair in the early & mid-'60s. Goatboy may have thought of Jo Anney Worley because Walley and Worley have a similar ring. I couldn't find any mention of Deborah ever appearing as a guest on "Laugh In."

 

This has got to be Atlantic City, NJ. And I would hazzard to guess that it's during the Miss America peagent of 1950 or '51, judging by the Rambler that MM is riding in.
The Breakers Hotel was still going strong in 1960 when my Pops bought a house in AC to use as income property and family beach house. Every year in the fall, September I believe, AC was invaded by a fleet of tripple white brand new Oldsmobile 98 convertibles. These were for use in the Miss America peagent, carrying the contestants down the boardwalk and into Convention Hall for the actual event itself. So they used at least 50 of the big white Oldsmobiles.
I guess this pic was taken before Olds got the gig, if this is the Miss America deal, and if it is AC.
And if you own a tripple white Olds 98 convertible from the '60s, you might have one of the Miss America fleet cars!

 

Lived close to this little roadside attraction. This was between Santa Barbara and Carpenteria, not far from Summerville.
