Pinup looks work great for pretty much every other holiday. Thanksgiving? Not so much.
The tradition of Hollywood starlets posing with turkeys or engaging in Thanksgiving-themed photoshoots dates back to the golden age of Hollywood. These promotional images were often staged by film studios to showcase their stars in festive, relatable, and playful scenarios during the holiday season.
In the 1930s through the 1950s, these photos often featured glamorous actresses dressed in period-appropriate styles—like elegant gowns or chic autumn outfits—posing with live turkeys. These images were used in magazines, newspapers, and other promotional materials, blending Hollywood glitz with a sense of down-to-earth Americana.
Have a great Thanksgiving, and enjoy these promotional photos of starlets in Turkey Day poses.
