My image gallery

These are photographs that I've taken and have added to Wikipedia articles. There are not many - other people have beaten me to it, in most cases.

• 
  Carole Lombard's star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame taken August 1995.
• 
  Myrna Loy's contribution to the forecourt of Grauman's Chinese Theatre taken August 1995.

Other images

I can't claim credit for any of these images, just finding and uploading them. Some are lovely, and one is bizarre. What do you give the girl who has everything?

• 
  Brisbane born actress Diane Cilento. Weird connection - her parents, Sir Raphael and Lady Phyllis Cilento are buried next to my father, so any time I see Diane Cilento in a film (which is not that often), I think "oh, there she is". Watching The Wicker Man recently, I found her distracting for this reason.
• 
  John Wayne visited my home town during World War II. I wasn't around to see it, but this photograph was taken within walking distance of where I grew up.
• 
  Gary Cooper also visited, with Phyllis Brooks and Una Merkel
• 
  Sybil Thorndike

Laurence Olivier and Vivien Leigh

Pictures from their 1948 visit to Brisbane.

Screenshots and such

These are public domain screenshots that I have found and uploaded, and my total Commons upload history can be viewed here here. There are quite a few of them but I'll just a highlight a few that I quite like.

• 
  two of my favourite performers, Fredric March and Carole Lombard in one of my favourite films, Nothing Sacred (1937)
• 
  and again. Carole deserves at least two pictures.
• Marilyn Monroe in The Prince and the Showgirl (1957). A beautiful image of her not looking like a sex-pot.

• 
  Jo Van Fleet in East of Eden (1955). A memorable performance, and a nice menacing image.
• 
  Roland Young in Topper Returns. The original Topper was a better film, but I like this image.
• 
  Lana Turner in The Postman Always Rings Twice. I don't even like Lana Turner, but again, it's the picture I like.
• 
  Thelma Ritter - what a face! And what a great performer.
• 
  Frances Langford - a bit Venus de Milo, but mighty purty.
• 
  Agnes Moorehead, a favourite.
• 
  Marion Martin - this image encapsulates for me, all the minor forgotten thirties musicals that had such style.
