Vintage Magazines are a wonderful resource tool for vintage sellers.. they often help substantiate a date or a style, especially in advertising.
They are even more fun when there are features showing fabulous clothing from an era and famous people wearing them.
Gifted a copy of a 1951 Life Magazine, I came across a most wonderful article!
Titled “Apprentice Goddesses .. Hollywood Hopes Some of these Dozen Damsels Will Be Big Stars.”
The article is pages of “future” Hollywood movie stars. The dresses are so absolutely FABULOUS, I hope you will enjoy them as much as you will recognizing these women before they were stars ~
From Left to Right – Phyllis Kirk, 22; Debra Paget, 17; Debbie Reynolds, 18; Jean Hagen, 25; and Nancy Olsen, 22.
