This is a wonderful video of about the glamorous movie stars from the Golden Age of Hollywood. There are more lovely vanities in the video too! It has music so you might want to turn off the volume on my player at the bottom of the page while viewing.
The video is from xoxClaudia101xox on You Tube - A young girl who loves the Golden Age of Hollywood.

This is incredible! What a compilation, I'm blown away by the collection. We have to include these in the book!
I have a slight obsession with antique vanity sets and mirrors. Women used to be so much more glam! SO unfair. I love these images, thanks so much for sharing! I love it. Hope you had an amazing weekend! XO!
Gorgeous gorgeous post - I just love old black and white photos of beautiful glamorous women. Also, thank you for visiting Brabourne Farm and for leaving such a lovely comment. Leigh
Great collection of photos! Thanks for sharing them with us!
Oh, how I always wanted to live that glamorous life! Growing up in the 50's and 60's - this is the kind of 'dame' I thought I would be. Now, at 50, I have all the accoutrements (sp?), but not the lifestyle. Was it ever real - or just a life led in The Movies?
I know who the woman in the photo is after the photo of Merle Oberon! It's Kay Francis! I only know that because she is mentioned in a play I was recently in (You Can't Take It With You). The character says "I'm the Kay Francis of Kirby Industries". I looked up Kay Francis on the internet. Right after that I saw her in an old movie with Cary Grant (In Name Only). Kay has quite the interesting bio. Read about her!

WOW! Christine ~ Thank you so much for identifying Kay Francis in the picture above! I will definitely add her name and check out her movies and photos. I'll check out the play you were in of hers too!
Everybody ~ Thank you so much for the fabulous compliments about my Old Hollywood Glamour Vanity post! I had a blast looking for the pics even though it took a while, so I’m so glad you like them too! I might even have some more to post! Hopefully, Claudia at The Paris Apartment blog will be able to use them in her book “Vanity for Humanity” if it’s ok legally.
I just love this era too! There was an elegance and sophistication about this time that is so lovely. I wish it was still that way too.
I love the vanities to tbe sure, but what I really like is the design of this blog and the sound. Where did you get this sexy christmas music? I love it. Often I really don't like the look of blogs. May sound odd, but they are a visual cacaphony to me, very staid and lifeless looking. This blog however feels alive and dynamic with plenty of movement. Beautiful. Good job.
I love vintage Hollywood glam. The women were so beautiful. Love your page and awesome songs!
Ohhh why didn't I think of doing this kind of blog. Old Hollywood is one of my PASSIONS. You have it layed out beautifully. Thank you. I'm following you for sure. These photos are your writings are right on. Keri
Hello,
Nice blog about hollywood i like it
Hollywood is a neighborhood in Los Angeles, California - situated west-northwest of Downtown Los Angeles. Due to its fame and cultural identity as the historical center of movie studios and movie stars, the word "Hollywood" is often used as a metonymy of American cinema, and is often interchangeably used to refer to the greater Los Angeles area in general.
Just found your blog and I'm in love! What a bevy of beautiful Hollywood glam pics!! LOVE! Great music selections too. :)
I love you blog, and the music really moves me. Thanks for sharing.
Women seemed to have more class & style about them selfs. Love the pictures and loving your book.
Kisses,
Nichole Binz
