Ronnie In The Pool
“1940: American actor Ronald Reagan grasps a beach ball in a swimming pool as six female actors wearing swimsuits sit on the edge of the pool, on board the SS America. L-R: 3 unidentified women, Alexis Smith, Marguerite Chapman, and Maria Montez.”

“May 1940: British actor John Gielgud (1904 – 2000) plays Prospero in Shakespeare’s ‘The Tempest’ at the Old Vic Theatre in London.”

The Life Magazine site certainly qualifies as a visual treasure trove. I think I’ll start mining it a bit.

“Dr Who (Tom Baker) meets one of the monsters from his new series.”
