Ziegfeld Girls Up Close

[luvmyrecords]

I had a chance to meet the last surviving Zeigfeld Girl, Doris Eaton Travis - she still had "it" at 105. She danced (!) and sang that year, as she did from age 91, at the annual "Easter Bonnet" for "Broadway Cares".

Maude Fealy is the third woman at 24 seconds. The photograper was Bushnell of Portland. I have four pictures from that sitting in that costume. Maude was never a Zigfield girl.

[wadyano]

what were their names

[furlight]

GrouchoB.?

Did you MAKE this morphing Ziegfeld extravaganza yourself?

OR do you know who MAX IS and if he is reachable??

Any chance you could add Avonne to the group?

THANKS!

Have you seen this video called " Gene Kelly\Cid|Charisse Opening A Colorful show" from Breton2Robert. WOW and the ending is crazy

[MPL029]

Why does this poster not tell you who these girls are??? Its like ordering a salad that comes with no dressing...

[Tap2323]

1:05 looks like Mary Pickford. I know it can't be her, but still....

[mookindahouse]

Marion Davies @ 0:29 I think I saw Olive Thomas and Marilyn Miller in there as well.

[OldHollywoodFan]

@mookindahouse Were did you see Olive?

[JimTwist]

This is so great! And so well done. Thank you!

[MrFrancisH]

Gorgeous by any standard.

[cfc1907]

Very good. A couple of them (related?) look like Drew Barrymore.

[TheGranule]

some of these girls are about 14.

[Memale2009]

Wow, absolument fascinant!

[ichmalealsobinich]

phantastic morphing transitions, you did an excellent job.

"That lovely world is dead forever. Replaced with vulgar perversions inflicted upon us by masters of cultural distortion.. "

There were probably plenty of people back then who thought the same thing about Ziegfeld.

[opelske]

Very nicely done. Love the music.

[akarpowicz]

Ah, more beautiful ladies. Thanks for posting. Great music on this one too!

[velvetseas]

anyone know who is at 1:12?

[novice8814]

That lovely world is dead forever. Replaced with vulgar perversions inflicted upon us by masters of cultural distortion..

[opelske]

Those were the days when we celebrated and revered beauty and all that was beautiful in the world and worth celebrating! Gone for now and sorely missed.

[anziotiamo]

@novice8814 ..so agree! but we can do our bit ..

[ladyvee7110]

1:04 looks like Mary Pickford.

[ladyvee7110]

I mean 1:06

[OneoftheImmortals]

I enjoyed that, thank you.

It would have been nice to include their names. (Annotations - hint, hint, wink, wink, nudge, nudge.)

Was one of these lovelies Billie Burke?

[BLUESKYS65]

Well Done, nice showcase of ACJ's work.

[vinylpiggy]

Fabulous!! How did you do the morphing?? Awesome pix and great music! Thanks!

[victor1566]

A time before desegregation.The natural law of selection does breed good genetics. These girls like most of americans before WW2 looked very healthy and well bred. Amazing how beautiful these girls were without the use of heavy makeup,deceptive camera angles.

A time long gone and it will never return.

People were healthier,smarter,harder working

and progressive. Now the corporations and the liberals have polluted everything good in America.Like wise with the slaves.

[nauort23]

"these girls...without the use of heavy makeup..." ??? Take another look. They put makeup on silent filmstars and stage actresses of this era with putty knives!! I'm not arguing about their beauty, but there's hardly anything "natural" about it. And the lighting would take many hours to create for the average portrait photographer of today.

[blackspace007]

Very nice, thankyou. I love their look. I would love to get some photos taken of me in that fashion. I have that old fashion look

[vt32943]

Dear Groucho, Soooooooooooo good!!

Fondly, V.

[Calypsowave]

Music fits perfectly! Magic

[kspm01]

Wonderful pictures, thank you!  Is the music by Grappelli and Reinhardt?

[GrouchoBarks]

Yep, spot on.

[shouldabeenacritic]

Great videos, and you've used two of my fave musicians...Great job with these lovely ladies!

[earthmother]

the simple way in which 'the girls' were photographed lets their natural spirit shine through.

if that makes any sense
