When two of the finest artists hang out, they deserve nothing less than a souvenir photo. This snap of the awesome guys was taken at the Roxy, backstage, sometime in 1976. What a pair! Bob Dylan, a ten-time Grammy Award winner, and inducted member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and Robert De Niro, a prized actor/producer with many accolades to his name (like two Academy awards, a Golden Globe and two Primetime Emmy awards, among many others).
The pair were snapped in attendance at a concert of Ronee Blakley’s. Yes, folks, it’s possible that legends from different fields can be friends. Did we say that they were also photographed with Lainie Kazan and Sally Kirkland that same night? Great minds think alike, right?
The Late Hugh Hefner With Girlfriend, Model Barbi Benton
Taken in 1970, this portrait of Playboy founder, Hugh Hefner, and his longtime love, Barbi Benton, shows one of their sweet and happy moments. The oddly hot couple met in 1968 during the set of his TV show, Playboy After Dark. Barbi was 18 then and pursuing her college degree, while Hugh was 42 years old and had already established a stable career.
The huge age gap was the main reason why the young Barbi was uninterested in staying with Hugh long-term. Not to mention that she was in a relationship at the time. But with Hugh’s persistence, the two became a coupe and traveled to many countries together. Due to his infidelity, Barbi moved out from the Playboy mansion three times. Obviously, their relationship wasn’t for keeps.
Grace Kelly And Her Effortless Beauty
Say hello to this timeless beauty—Grace Kelly relaxing in a pool back in 1955. Kelly enjoyed stardom in the entertainment industry during the Golden Age of Television. She appeared in films like "Mogambo," "The Country Girl," "High Noon" and "To Catch a Thief," among many others. After six years of her award-winning success as an actress, she married Prince Rainier III and graced her duties as the Princess of Monaco.
The beautiful royal couple had three children namely Caroline, Albert, and Stephanie. Despite her absence from the movie industry, Kelly is a force to be reckoned with, her iconic status and contributions as an artist, and as a real-life princess, incomparable.
The Adorable Lucille Ball And Desi Arnaz When Young
There’s too much cuteness in this photo! Can you tell that the left image was of Lucille Ball who was two years old at the time? On the right was six-year-old Desi Arnaz. Later on, these two became one of Hollywood’s super-couples. They starred together on their own hit show, "I Love Lucy," which won multiple Emmy awards and other nominations.
The show enjoyed a successful run from 1951 to 1957 and became the most-watched show in the U.S. at the time. Although naive and a troublemaker, Lucy had big dreams; we suppose this is what made the show a hilarious success.
KISS Bassist, Gene Simmons, Sans Makeup Or Costume
Pictured here is Gene Klein, professionally known as Gene Simmons, without any makeup or costume. The Israeli-American musician and television personality is the co-singer and bassist of rock band, KISS. The Demon (his famous stage persona) lives in Los Angeles with his wife, actress, and former Playboy Playmate, Shannon Lee Tweed.
Simmons used to date the Queen of Pop, Cher. Theirs was an odd, open relationship which Cher described as being, “the best relationship I’ve ever had with a human being.” She admitted that she was crazy about Gene. “Gene might spend time with another woman and stay the night, but he wants her to leave in the morning so he can get on with his day.”
