40 Fascinating Photos of Elke Sommer in the 1970s

In the 1970s, German actress Elke Sommer (November 5, 1940 – October 28, 2026) transitioned her career into European cult films, British sex comedies, and frequent American television appearances. While her peak Hollywood leading-lady era was in the 1960s, she remained highly active across multiple mediums throughout the decade.

As major Hollywood offers slowed down, the multilingual actress worked extensively in Europe such as: Percy (1971), Zeppelin (1971), Baron Blood (Gli orrori del castello di Norimberga, 1972), The House of Exorcism (Lisa e il diavolo, 1973/1975), Carry On Behind (1975), The Swiss Conspiracy (1976), and The Prisoner of Zenda (1979).

She became a frequent, charismatic guest on American network television, making regular appearances on game shows like Hollywood Squares, Match Game, and The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson, as well as episodic roles on shows such as The Muppet Show (1977) and The Love Boat.

Having painted since childhood under the pseudonym E. Schwartz, Sommer began exhibiting and selling her artwork more formally in the 1970s. Her distinctive neo-naive art style earned commercial success and gallery shows across North America and Europe.

In 1978, she released an early celebrity fitness project titled Elke Sommer: The Inner and Outer Beauty Program, featuring exercise routines, health tips, and workout audio records long before the 1980s celebrity fitness boom.

Publicity Photos of Rosalind Russell for George Cukor’s 1939 Classic “The Women”

“I’m going to keep my mouth shut. I’m not going to say a word. But you know me... if I can’t help a friend, I’ll keep my mouth shut!”

In George Cukor’s 1939 classic The Women, Rosalind Russell delivers a star-making performance as Sylvia Fowler, the quintessential high-society gossip whose well-meaning maliciousness and sharp tongue set the film’s central conflict in motion.

Before The Women, Russell was often cast in reserved, second-lead dramatic roles. Playing Sylvia allowed her to unleash her kinetic comedic instincts, laying the foundation for her career as one of Hollywood’s premier fast-talking screwball comedy leads (most famously in His Girl Friday the following year).

Costume designer Adrian outfitted Russell in wildly eccentric, high-fashion ensembles that mirrored Sylvia’s erratic, sharp-edged nature. One of the most famous pieces is the famous Schiaparelli-inspired blouse featuring printed surrealist eyes on the fabric, worn early in the film as she orchestrates gossip at the salon.

Russell leaned heavily into physical slapstick, a bold choice given the prestigious all-female ensemble cast starring alongside Norma Shearer and Joan Crawford. Her standout physical comedy scene occurs at the Reno divorce ranch, where Sylvia gets into a chaotic, hair-pulling, skirt-ripping brawl with Miriam Aarons (Paulette Goddard) after learning Miriam is marrying her ex-husband.

Adapted from Clare Boothe Luce’s hit Broadway play by screenwriters Anita Loos and Jane Murfin, the script gave Russell some of the sharpest lines in late-1930s cinema. Sylvia is constantly “yoo-hoo”-ing into bedrooms, dispensing unwanted marital advice, and gossiping under the guise of friendship.

30 Gorgeous Portraits of Dani Crayne in the 1950s

Born 1934 as Darlyne Danielle Goldman, American actress and model Dani Crayne rose to prominence in the mid-1950s.

Discovered by a Universal-International talent scout while teaching mambo at a Hollywood dance school, Crayne signed a studio contract and appeared in a handful of films, including Ain’t Misbehavin’ (1955), Shoot-Out at Medicine Bend (1957), and The Story of Mankind (1957), in which she played Helen of Troy. Known for her striking blonde looks and husky voice, she later left acting and became a well-known figure in Hollywood social circles through her marriages to singer Buddy Greco, actor David Janssen, and stuntman-director Hal Needham.

Though her film career was brief, Crayne remains a memorable face of 1950s studio glamour. These gorgeous portraits capture Dani Crayne during her brief but glamorous years as a Hollywood actress and model in the 1950s.

Patrick Stewart Rehearsing With a Rescue Dog Named Blackie for the Production of the “Two Gentlemen of Verona” in 1970

In December 1970, long before finding worldwide fame in Star Trek or X-Men, a 30-year-old Patrick Stewart shared the stage with a very unusual acting partner: a rescued stray dog named Blackie.

At the time, Stewart was a rising actor with the Royal Shakespeare Company, starring as Launce in their production of The Two Gentlemen of Verona. His character famously has a loyal canine companion named Crab. Instead of employing a professionally trained stage animal, Stewart opted to visit the Avon Dog Rescue Service in Leamington Spa. There, he personally selected Blackie, a homeless stray, to fill the role and share the spotlight with him.

The decision beautifully foreshadowed Stewart’s lifelong, passionate advocacy for animal welfare and rescue shelters. Decades later, he and his wife became heavily involved in fostering rescue animals, particularly pit bulls, and working actively to change harmful stereotypes surrounding shelter dogs.
