There’s Nothing Like Nostalgic Photos to Remind Us That the Past Was Pretty

By Yuri S.

It can be fun to look back on the past. We have memories of simpler times where technology wasn’t as dominant, and there was no such a thing as social media. It was also when we saw legends of movies, music, and business come to the fore.

We’ve found plenty of incredible pictures that will let you take a trip down memory lane. We have a wide variety across many different decades. Were things better back then? We’ll let you be the judge after you get to the end.

The Truth About Being a Stewardess

The mystique around flight attendants was fueled by an infamous memoir called “Coffee, Tea or Me?” in 1967. The book detailed the sexual escapades, but it was later revealed that most stories were made up.

The image of these hard-working women began to be associated with lust and sexual appearance. They became an image of desire more than respect for their job. It was quite a stir back in the day, and pictures like this showed the standards of fashion they were expected to follow.

Caroline Kennedy on a Walk with Her Father

John F. Kennedy is well known for his role as the President of the United States, but before he won the election, he was occupied the position of father for his youngest. In this photo, they were seen having a father-daughter moment just days before the results.

His hectic life in the election was just an awful amount of stress, so he wanted to spend some time relaxing, taking his daughter for a walk outside. It was probably the last time he went in normality as after that, he won the election and became the President.

Three Rock And Roll Legends

If we think of what truly represents the ’70s with extreme fashion, celebrities everywhere, and new things being discovered, this picture shows it all. Those years were a wild time. To prove the point comes this image of the 29th birthday of Mick Jagger, and what better way to celebrate than going out for a bit of fun?

Together with Keith Richards and Bob Dylan, they hit the town in a big way. It was no doubt that they started quite a stir, and every single Rolling Stones fan would give anything just to go back in time to attend it.

Even Cool People Need To Cool Down

James Dean had a short career in Hollywood, but he was a massive star in his time. He was one of the most extraordinary actors back then, but even he needed to cool down now and then. The photo shows him going to the West Texas Ice Co to take some ice and take it back to the studio.

His career was on the rise, but unfortunately, he did not even get to see his last movie; it was September 30, 1955, when he got into a car accident while driving on Route 466 near Cholame. The crash was violent, and he suffered many deep fractures. He passed just before arriving at Paso Robles War Memorial Hospital.

Creating an Infamous Album Cover

The year is 1969, and The Beatles are preparing for their new album cover; the shot shows them just moments before the cover was taken, as they take one last look to see if everything is ready to go. Abbey Road was temporarily closed to have the photoshoot and not be interrupted by any car.

The Incredible “Jungle Pam”

Back in the day, Jim Liberman was a renounced drag racer known for his skills and personality, also known as “Jungle Jim” he was a fan favorite and had incredible talent and bravery. Winning many races he took part in, his popularity only increased.

She helped Jim for his entire career until his death in 1977.

The Film That Made History

Creating a film that accurately represents biblical history was a hard job back in 1956. The movie “The Ten Commandments” was released and took plenty of acclaim from both public and critics, with actors such as Cecil B. Demille; it was a hit at that time.

The movie portrayed the life of Israelites in their time under the control of Egypt, portraying the problematic and utterly miserable conditions they had. This photo shows Anne Baxter, porting queen of Rameses II, Nefretiri. The cast for that film was top class.

National Lampoon’s Vacation Started Family Comedies

The first of its kind, the movie “National Lampoon’s Vacation” presented more than the basic comedy involving a family on a road trip. It portrayed nuanced subjects and a man who had dreams of doing something great for his family.

The role of Clark W. Griswold, the family’s father, was played by none other than Chevy Chase. As the base of this movie went on, it was a total disaster from one calamity to another. The unsuccessful trip changed the character from the goofy dad to a much more serious one, as his plans that always include others failed.

Pink Floyd Behind the Scenes

In 1973, Pink Floyd was on the rise, and the rock group started to get more attention after the release of Dark Side of the Moon. The album was their biggest success and has become one of the most influential albums ever made.

At that time, the group was experimenting with new sounds. The photograph shows them at the back of a concert, Rick Wright, David Gilmour, and Roger Waters, playing an Aton Heart Mother album. It was a great time in rock history.

A Cringey Interview from Johnny Carson

Johnny Carson remains in history with one of the longest hosts for the “Tonight’s Show,” retiring in 1974. He worked there for over three decades, which is impressive on its own. One of the best moments of his career is the interview with Robyn Hilton.

People may not remember her, Hilton was an actress and model at that time, and her role in “Blazing Saddles” caught plenty of attention. This interview with Carson was quite cringe-worthy as he suggested she only got acting roles because of her looks and not her talent.

What will be Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer without its roar?

The iconic scene was filmed with a real lion, showing the authentic feel they were going for. The movie studio dedicated a lot of time to this opening, as the logo will be the image they will portray to the public.

The project paid off big times; the shot from 1928 remains relevant to the day. Only the most advanced equipment was used as the team had to make the shoot look as good as possible. At the time, Mel Koontz was present there to make sure no accident happened for the camera crew; everything was OK, and from then on, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer found their image.

Tom Hanks during the Filming Of His Startup Movie

In 1984 the most talked-about movie was Bachelor Party, with actors like Tom Hanks, the groom, and Tawny Kitaen, his co-star. The production was bound to succeed with the perfect acting and chemistry on the camera between these two. Hanks went on to be one of the most renowned actors of all time, while Tawny did not.

She never got another chance to play a great role, with a few unsuccessful movies that took her even further from the public attention. This film made her a sensation, but unfortunately, she never got the chance to shine again and slowly faded away from Hollywood.

The Infamous Jackson Family

Many talented families in history, from actors and pop stars to endless stories, but some gain more fame than others. The Jackson family started to get attention from “The Jackson 5” and led to Janet and Michael had an incredible solo career.

At the time of this photo, Michael was just 14, far from the success he will have in the future, but already on the rise as one of the most famous people the planet has ever seen. Janet was not too far from fame herself, but at the age of 5, it was still a long time until she would taste the same success.

Sometimes Just Look for the Clown Next Door

Christopher Walken was always a child that looked forward to fame and success; even from his childhood, he knew a day would come for him to shine. Those days were represented in films such as Pulp Fiction, The Deer Hunter, King of New York, and A View to a Kill; all were a rapid success, and the child that scared the neighbors in his silly clown costume became a star.

The picture showed him at 12 when nobody knew that he would soon be a personality that spends his nights in New York nightclubs performing and singing before his acting career blossomed.

An Epic Interview with Dick Cavett

Raquel Welch was the star of the moment, and in huge demand, Dick Cavett was an appreciated host who was present in both the world of music and acting. His celebrity interviews were rare because he took on more serious subjects. Yet they met in 1972 as two very different worlds would sit down and talk.

Source: YouTube

He was an amazing host that always knew how to keep the audience excited and keep rather intellectual conversations. His show didn’t focus on humor, but instead, the subjects were regarding important things happening at that time. The interview was successful, and the two of them showed what happens when two different worlds collide on a talk show.

Barbara Bouchet and the History of Hollywood

Even with roles like Miss Moneypenny in Casino Royale (1967) to Ursula in the Sweet Charity (1968), Barbara didn’t become the big star people thought she would become. She only appeared in small roles and barely had the chance to appear on the big screen; she was one of the people Hollywood tended to forget.

Photo by Rino Petrosino/Mondadori/Getty Images

With so little attention and casting for her, Barbara failed to rise to the hall of fame in the United States, and so it was clear that the actress needed a fresh start. That is why she decided to move to Italy. Hollywood lost one of the most gorgeous and talented women of all time.

The Perfect 80s Film

When we think of fitness, we think of intense gym work. Things were easier back in the day, and people thought of the gym as a more relaxing space. In the 70s, Rolling Stone magazine had a plan to collect stories from single people all around Los Angeles that worked out.

Source: Moviestillsdb.com/Copyright: Colombia Pictures

All of them were strategically used for the film “Perfect” in 1985, and it was based on the idea that gyms are the image of heh and perfect bodies and a way for single people to have fun. It was a perfect plan to show an unseen image on gyms with Jamie Lee Curtis having a starring role.

From Wish to Reality for Barbara Eden

The year is 1960, and a new idea for a sitcom comes to mind. What about a 2000 years old genie, but a male one was already an old cliché, so just make it a woman? Take Barbara Eden, throw a great costume on her, and you suddenly get a new sensation.

The producers strictly crafted her outfits not to exaggerate her sex appeal, but it didn’t work. The cuts of her outfits impressed people and won the male audience’s attention. However, that was not the intention of the producers.

The Golden Girl Loretta Lyn

You are undoubtedly a star of the music world when you have a record of 24 number one singles from 11 chart-topping albums. Loretta Lyn was an example of a country music icon and a role model for women to feel empowered by music.

With a range of different topics in her music, everything she created had a message and not a pretty one necessarily. These ranged from birth control for males and women to even discussing the topic of women that steals other women’s men. Her music spoke to women and gave an empowering feel with her golden guitar and golden palomino.

What It Takes To Be Perfectly Dressed

Back in the day, the long flights and huge distances made a really big change in the industry, and it was a decided thing that such long times required a little bit of entertainment. The photo shows Birgitta Lindman in 1959 when she inspects the dress of one of the showgirls.

Lindman was famous for her appearance on the cover of “Life Magazine” where she was praised for her beauty and grace. It was a tough fight because she needed to compete against the other 53 stewardesses for the front page.

Just Chilling In the Mouth of a Shark

Some movies get forgotten about, whereas others will get remembered forever. In the latter category is most certainly Jaws. The movie took the world by storm and was the first to earn $100million at the box office. It was a setting stone for the future of the industry.

Source: Reddit

Even if the director seems relaxed and stress-free, it is again just good action on his side; the production of the movie was a nightmare. With limited equipment specific to that period, it was hard to complete the vision expected for the action. The animated shark had the biggest technical issues, but the results were brilliant.

The Iconic Betty White

Nobody can say they have never heard of the icon that Betty White. From day one, she was Hollywood royalty and kept her presence in the industry for more than anyone could imagine. She is the epitome of a star from her iconic shows, incredible movies, or Emmy nominations.

There is no stopping to the phenomenon that is Betty; she carved her name in the history of television forever and gained fans all over the globe. People say she is the queen of comedy, but many people will see her simply as the queen of entertainment.

Maureen McCormick Taking A Break From Filming

For some shows, you did not need anything other than a miniskirt and a pretty smile; it was not important how you act when people worldwide are obsessed with you. Maureen McCormick embraced the role and got the most out of it. Part good acting and all the teenagers’ boys falling for your character led this role to be iconic.

Source: Imgur

In the photo, she is taking a break from filming “Greg’s Triangle,” where her character is in a difficult position. She and her brother’s girlfriend are fighting for the position of head captain for the cheerleading squad. Such a typical teenage girl problem takes us back directly to the ’70s high schools all around the country.

Kurt Cobain in His Youth before Nirvana

We all know Nirvana, probably we all love Nirvana, but we all sure love to see Kurt Cobain as a happy kid even though there was already plenty of pain behind the smile. Even though he was a sweet child at that time, he had already been through bullying, his parent’s divorce, and other problems caused by his antisocial behavior.

Source: Reddit

Later on, he will meet Krist Novoselic and Aaron Burckhard to start the band and become the legend we all know him as. It was, unfortunately, not to last long as he committed suicide soon after at only 27, leaving an incredible legacy behind.

What To Do When You Skipped School In 1986?

Ferris Bueller’s Day Off really took a weird turn when the producers decided that teenage kids skipping school would choose to go to the museum rather than a skate park. It happened, so here we have Cameron Frye (Alan Ruck), Sloane Peterson (Mia Sara), and Ferris himself (Matthew Broderick) in the Art Institute of Chicago.

Other than the museum, the characters had a good time thinking of all cultural and not fun places to go in their free time. It was good to encourage teenagers to visit Mercantile Exchange, Sears Tower, and Wrigley Field.

Cultivating a Stoner Image

Back in 1971, it was not so “cool” to smoke pot, so people who did it were seen as more irresponsible, weird, and not in their right mind. The image of the ‘stoner’ started to form, but these two decided to turn those preconceived notions on their head.

Richard “Cheech” Marin and Tommy Chong were two personalities that fit right into this category; by embracing the newly created image, they took the comedy scene by storm and even got into music with their albums like “Big Bambu” and “Los Cochinos” that hit the #2 spot that year and won a Grammy Award.

The Birth of Two Stars

In the ’60s, the film “A Streetcar Named Desire” really impressed everyone in the right way; it soon became a blockbuster, and people loved it. For the actors Marlon Brando and Vivien Leight, the film came with rapid success in the industry.

Vivien was a well-known personality in the scene even before the movie, but the success just took her from fame to superstar. As for Brando, it can be said that he benefited from the attention and started his legacy; it was the boom of his career.

The Very First Addams Family

Nowadays, we all love them and laugh at new adventures and crazy lifestyles, but the idea comes from a long time ago for this scary yet lovable family. The whole bunch is different, but they sure complement each other in their monster-ish way.

Source: Moviestillsdb.com/Copyright: ABC

Charles Addams may not sound familiar, but he is the only freelance cartoonist who drew and inspired all the movies and cartoons that followed. It all started as a simple page of cartoons and a little bit of imagination, and so from a spooky wife that scared a salesperson, it was created a family of freaks that we all adore.

On the set of “The Cannonball Run”

The Cannonball Run took 1981 by storm; the comedy had a perfectly written script and starred the most elite actors that the director could find. People like Sammy Davis Jr., Dean Martin, Jackie Chan, Adrienne Barbeau, Terry Bradshaw, Mell Tillis, and even Roger Moore made sure the production would be memorable. It sure was a successful mission.

Yet the spotlight was not really on them, but more on the incredible duo Farrah Fawcett and Burt Reynolds; they shined in the movie and took the attention of anyone watching it. They were the most attractive people in that time to appear on screen, but the chemistry between them was unreal.

Nothing Better Than a Nice Cup of Coffee

Anyone who said that a witch could not be good has never seen one after her morning coffee; if you don’t believe me, ask Margaret Hamilton. She was the actress that little children feared and probably slept with the light on because of her character.

She starred as the Wicked Witch of the West in The Wizard of Oz and was the most memorable role in her incredible career. While she was a very successful actress, she is also known for coffee commercials in the 70s. She sadly passed away in 1985.

The Big Trend of Roller Skating

Roller skating is not a sport for everyone, you need to be one of the cool kids to do it, and the photo shows the point. Back in the day, when more and more people got into it, it became one of the obsessions kids and teens had to pass the time and have some fun.

Source: Pinterest

It was the time of cool hippies, and roller skaters took the meaning of peace and fun; those were better years—everyone from children to adults that wanted some fun started to learn how to skate. There were a lot of falls, but people were OK; just brush it off and try again.

How to Create a Mystery with a Photo

One of the most famous aircraft of all time is the VMTB-234. It was a staple for that period back in 1940; this shot shows a beautiful woman in some kind of military attire posing next to the plane. Yet the person remains unidentified, and nobody knows who she is or why she took the photo.

The High School Years of Bill Murray

The Loyola Academy in Wilmette was the academic start for Bill Murray till 1968; after he graduated, Murray wanted to continue in medicine and so went on to study at Regis University in Denver, Colorado.

The Rocky Horror Picture Show

The Rocky Horror Picture Show is one of the most famous cult films history has ever seen. In the production, the character Frank N. Furter is played by Tim Curry in the center of the photograph. It is a gender-bending musical that went under the radar for the first year of its debut.

Source: Moviestillsdb.com/Copyright: Twentieth Century Fox

It would be a forgotten piece if a 20th Century Fox executive would not take an interest in it; the new trend of midnight movies was a perfect opportunity to grow at that time. The production was soon taken to theatres to get a profit and sell the movie to a bigger audience, and it was an amazing decision that led to the production’s success.

An Unlikely Pair for a Duet

Janis Joplin and Tom Jones were a unique duo. Both are legends in their own right despite being from different genres. Regardless of this, it looks like both of them are having a huge amount of fun in this photo.

The show “This is Tom Jones” had started in 1969; it was there where the unlikely pair had the duet.

The duet was a success, and people appreciated the talent of both of them.

Nobody Is Cooler Than Joan Jett

Back in the glory days, The Runaways had an amazing fan base all around the globe; the band had incredible success in places like Canada, the U.K., and Japan. But for some reason, they never got the same fame level in the United States.

After the group’s inevitable end, members took on different career paths. Joan was on the top of her game, and people loved her; with hits like “I Love Rock n Roll” and “I Hate Myself for Loving You” she became a rock icon. It led to many people dubbing her the mother of Rock’ n’ Roll.

Batgirl on “The Griffin Show”

Yvonne Craig has made a name for herself, and people that loved the Batman franchise were well aware of who she was. From 1967 to 1968, she was the one and only Batgirl, fighting crimes and looking gorgeous; while doing so, her role as Barbara Gordon made a statement. Unfortunately, she passed in 2015, but her contribution to the movies will always prevail.

She would even get a taste as Marta in the Star Trek universe, where she instantly became a fan favorite despite only appearing in one episode. Her name will always be remembered as one of the original cult-TV heroes.

The Truth Behind the Smiles

When looking at this photo, one may say that the four people in it look like they have a lot of fun, maybe a friend group going on a road trip or something of the sort. It will be dead, as the pictures are Al Gore, Tipper Gore, Bill Clinton, and Hillary Clinton.

The fun time was true, but the reason was not what you might expect, as this photo was taken after their successful campaign in North Carolina. It was a long and hard job, but it paid off in the end; Bill Clinton became the President, all thanks to their hard work on the road.

A Giant and His Dog

The wrestling community sure had a perfect representation back then. Big, strong, and intimidating, Andre the Giant was an icon. And for a good reason, people loved him, and soon the giant gained a big fan base that admired him.

Source: Reddit

Standing at more than 7 feet, with a weight of 520 pounds, he was suffering from a condition known as gigantism, yet the appearance played tricks on people; the giant was nothing more than a warm-hearted man that was generous and loved animals, more reason to love him. His life ended tragically in a hotel room from a heart attack.

No Introduction Needed For This Pop Icon

We don’t need to say much about her; the name speaks for himself. Cher is the everlasting icon, fashion model, comedian, and movie star. It was her perfect charm, talent, and looks that got her incredible success. Starting with her husband, Sonny, they both meet fame in the Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour that aired in the ’70s.

Judas Priest was a band that had an important influence on shaping metal music. Even if everything was pointing towards a failure, they released their first album in 1974. It was called “Rocka Rolla,” and it wasn’t appreciated. They were not selling their music, so they had to get second jobs just to get by.

Source: Tumblr

“The Sad Wings of Destiny,” released in 1976, was their second album. This was when they found their style, which was a mixture of progressive rock and hard rock. They even got noticed by CBS. Now having more support, it was easier to make their third album.

“That Girl” And Female Empowerment

The character of Ann Marie from “That Girl” was controversial when the movie premiered mainly because she played the part of a woman from New York who was in a relationship but who was not engaged. Female empowerment was not very popular at that time, so it was only natural for her role to be controversial. There were over 136 episodes, and they lasted from 1965 to 1971.

It was the first sitcom to focus on a single woman that was not living with her parents. This may not be a big deal nowadays, as society has evolved a lot, but society viewed women’s roles differently back then.

Two Close Friends Attend the Fairport Convention

One of the most iconic rock and roll bands is Led Zeppelin. The band was formed in 1968, and it was always regarded as having remarkably impacted the music industry. Robert Plant, the vocalist, sang all bands’ songs with one remarkable exception, “The Battle of Evermore.”

The song was on the “Led Zeppelin IV” album, and it was a great success. Sandy Denny, a member of the Fairport Convention (a British folk band), was the one that helped this song become a great classic. Unfortunately, she passed away at only 31 years old. She and Robert Plant were close friends.

They were both very appreciated and popular characters. Kirk was highly decorated as a starship captain and was a ladies’ man. However, he was not able to have a long-lasting relationship. If somebody ever needed good guys who could save a difficult situation, there would be no better choice than these two.
