I love when I find great deals. You definitely have to look, be patient, and get lucky.

I did not think to add this 1975 candid by Peter Warrack. Beneath that is a very rare candid behind the scenes still of the Welles 1962 production of Franz Kafka's The Trial with Anthony Perkins, also below, with an original still. Perkins is also tough in vintage form (about 1960 here) and with good contrast.

Wow! What great images! Thanks for sharing. Love that 1960s Perkins signature. Right when he did Psycho. How cool!

Thanks again - very happy to share.

Psycho is a very well shot film! If you have not seen The Trial check it out.

Lugosi hung a large oil painting of a nude Clara Bow in his house(s) from 1926 or so until 1956 when he died. Of course, he had a larger painting of himself (not nude!), but by the same artist.

Lovely signed photo!

Yup, that is it. Was it Bow that was in a play with Lugosi and received bruised ribs from his violent onstage simulated love-making?

When I saw this at auction I was surprised that it received little attention, hardly any bids. At first I assumed this was because there is no Rick Allen signature. Still, the item is signed by both Pete Willis and Steve Clark. I have never seen a Def Leppard item with both of these signatures, so I was intrigued and started researching. Turns out this is the second run of the first ever recorded music by Def Leppard. The first run was 1000 pressings and sold out/ otherwise distributed quickly. So they did second and third pressings. For these recordings a studio drummer was used because Rick Allen hadn't joined the band yet. So these four signatures, Joe Elliot (twice), Rick Savage, Pete Willis and Steve Clark, represent the entire band. This piece seems special to me, and I'm glad nobody other than me was interested. If the item description had been more complete, I'm sure it would have gotten more attention.
