13. As a woman, I am so glad bullet breast bras went out of style:

They only look good with a super thin waist which for most of us ladies is only achieved with a girdle.

14. I wonder what Bowie listed as his eye color:

[BrotherIvan]

18. His eyes are the same color: blue

One of the pupils is permanently dilated because he was punched in the eye as a teenager. They look a bit different in pictures, but apparently they are the same.

20. The link doesn't work for me. Bummer.

It was working for me early this morning, but I didn't have time to look at all the photos. Now I just get an error message. Am I the only one?

[pacalo]

21. I got an error message, too.

It was a bummer for me, too. I wanted to see more, dang it.

Thanks to all who added more pics to the thread.

23. I'd be willing to bet money that.......

.......the young lady in "A stylish couple in the rain in London (1963)" is Patti Boyd.

Some really wonderful pictures there. Thanks for sharing the link!

Edited to add

And the callow youth of today may know her as Olenna Tyrell, but the lady will always be incredible, unequalled Emma Peel to those of us who know.
