Some photos are so captivating that you can’t help but stare at them. They might show something so amazing or show the world in a way you’ve never seen before, and a beautiful picture can actually make you feel happier, especially if it’s your first time seeing it.
These photos capture much more than you’d expect. From Marilyn Monroe’s workout routine to behind-the-scenes moments with Phoebe Cates, and even rare glimpses of young Pamela Anderson before fame took over, these images will leave you wanting more.
Take a closer look at these seldom-seen photos that might surprise you and may not be suitable for all eyes…
Lynda Carter, already a Wonder Woman, was one of the most eagerly awaited actresses on ABC’s Battle of the Network Stars. This show, which ran from 1976 to 1988, brought together celebrities from the big three networks to compete in track and field-style games. In 1976, Lynda Carter was part of a team with Farrah Fawcett, Penny Marshall, and Ron Howard. They won the inaugural games, with Carter winning the swimming relay and capturing the hearts of viewers. Honestly, did you think a team with Wonder Woman and one of Charlie’s Angels would lose?
Who’s this fresh-faced young woman selling beer? Would you believe it’s Pamela Anderson? It’s amazing how things can change. In 1989, Anderson caught everyone’s attention with a series of Labatt Blue beer ads and her first magazine cover. How did she get all that in one year? She was spotted on the big screen at a football game. She said:
“The cameraman zoomed in on me, and the crowd went wild. They brought me down to the 50-yard line. I was wearing a Labatt Blue T-shirt, and Labatt ended up giving me a commercial.”
The classic photo from 1957 featuring Jane Mansfield and Sophia Loren is one of the most famous of its time. It captures a moment at a Paramount party in Beverly Hills where Loren, seated next to Clifton Webb, couldn’t help but notice Mansfield’s revealing dress. As Mansfield leaned over to greet other guests, Loren appeared concerned that her ample cleavage might spill out onto the table. The photo shows Loren looking away, seemingly trying to avoid focusing on Mansfield’s assets.
Catherine Bach, known as the original Daisy Duke, was never one to shy away from daring outfits. She famously wore the iconic shorts and eye-catching shoes in her role on The Dukes of Hazzard. Despite the discomfort she might have felt in such attire, Bach stood out on the long-running series, which led to remakes and lots of merchandise. She later appeared in the Canadian show African Skies and continues to act, currently appearing on The Young and the Restless. It’s inspiring to see Bach still active in her career and looking fantastic.
