There were a lot of important things that went down during the ‘60s. It was the decade when the Vietnam War, Woodstock, the Civil Rights movement, and the assassination of John F. Kennedy all happened. As you can see, it was an era of growth and change not only for the United States but the entire world. Let’s take a look at this important period in time. We hope you are ready to take a walk down memory lane!
Beach Time for Brigitte Bardot
Brigitte Bardot had been one of the most famous celebrities during the ‘50s and ‘60s. We would even go as far as to call her an icon who left a big impression on the generations that followed. She broke into the entertainment industry when she was young. She eventually went on to star in projects like Contempt, A Very Private Affair, and And God Created Women.
The photo above was taken during the early ‘60s. The star had been taking a vacation in the French Riviera. She is now in her 80s. We hope she is enjoying the fruit of her labor throughout the years.
Charles Bronson and Jill Ireland Were Costars in 15 Movies
Here is a photo of Charles Bronson and Jill Ireland. The American actor and English actress were snapped as they were walking along a street in Santa Monica, California back in 1971. There are people who say business and pleasure should not go together, but the rule did not apply to this popular couple who starred in 15 movies together. Ireland even made fun of it by saying, “I’m in so many Charles Bronson films because no other actress will work with him.”
The two of them tied the knot in 1968 and remained together until Ireland succumbed to breast cancer in 1990.
Behind the Scenes of The Battle of the Network Stars
This photograph shows us actress Joyce DeWitt of Three’s Company fame together with two women competing for ABC in the Battle of the Network Stars back in 1978. This was a series that was aired by ABC and featured stars from its competitors NBC and CBS.
