Love the photo of Marily Monroe reading, I find it a bit sad she is just remembered as a sex bomb while she was an avid reader and loved classic literature.
unexpected photos 🙂 – on picture with Frank Sinatra is Yul Brynner 🙂

I love this! beautiful photos!
Wow… I'm kinda obsessed with these images right now. Can you imaging what people will think of our fashion and interior decor sense 40 years from now? It's so paralyzing for me… I am always looking for a style that is fresh, and simple yet timeless. Very tricky to do so when it comes to home decor.
love these!!!!!
nothing beats old hollywood

I love these. Nothing like vintage photos, and nothing like a stars home… The epitome of surreal, and real.
