Pity the poor starlet of yesteryear. If she was young, pretty and oh-so-hopeful for full-fledged fame and fortune, she had to submit to some pretty humiliating photo sessions - all in the name of publicity. Once they were famous, I'll bet these gals would not have considered these photos too much of a treat.

| Silent sweetie Bessie Love puts on her best Halloween smile (love the shooties) |

| Beautiful Anita Page was always ready, willing and able when it came to nutty publicity photos |
 |
| Poor Joan Crawford - not her best look |
 |
| The very feline Paulette Goddard (again - love the shoes) |
 |

And just in case you were wondering if any male beauties had to endure such posing....well, this is the best I could come up with!

Wishing you all a Halloween filled with thrills, chills, fun tricks and even better treats!

I loved all the pictures and the pumpkins. But alas my favorite was Jimmy.
Fun post and Happy Halloween to you!
What a lovely Halloween gallery! I thought Joan and Clara very cool in the photo, but Paulette is still my favorite.
Kisses!
Great collection of photos! Loved them all, although I think Jimmy Durante stole the show... :)
Swell pics!
Hahahaha! I agree with silverscreenings - Durante stole the show.
And wow - the second pic of Ann Miller ain't no close-up, it's a pin-up! She looks great!
Happy Halloween!
Joan Crawford looks like an idiot ... not her fault of course. Paulette looks, well, like Joan. Ann Miller is absolutely dynamite in that second picture. And who couldn't love Jimmy? These are great pictures, lots of fun!
Samantha - it's true - Jimmy steals the show.
Le - Paulette is my favorite, too She is a perfect pussy cat.
silverscreenings - Jimmy's pumpkin rocks.
Thanks, CW - not my favorite holiday, but you have to bow to the forces!
Elizabeth - yes, Ann certainly knew how to pose for a picture.
Thank you so much, Becky.

Thanks, Dawn - I'll bet she was not happy posing for those kind of photos.
