The Game of LIFE

Here's something really cool I just discovered.

Google is digitizing all of LIFE Magazine's photo archives - as of now they're apparently 20% of the way there. Most of the pictures have never been published. It's an amazing archive.

You can search the archives here, or when googling you can just type "source:life" after your keyword.

Here's my fun finds:

Doris Day in a pretty yellow top. With a poodle!

Ooh, my fave. Miss Shelley Winters with a book. So publishing! I printed this one out and tacked it to my bulletin board.



Hee hee. Here's Miss Charlotte Greenwood caught in the act of showing off her pisketti-legs.


And Miss Barbara Stanwyck, staring at a painting of herself which makes me think she was in a re-make of Picture Of Dorian Gray.

Happy searching! And please share anything cool that you find.

That is amazing! I can't wait to delve into that nonsense.

I'm not sure that Shelley is such a great advocate for books in that shot. She looks bored stiff.

Can we rent that The Portrait of Doris Grey movie?
