The Late Hugh Hefner With Girlfriend, Model Barbi Benton
Taken in 1970, this portrait of Playboy founder, Hugh Hefner, and his longtime love, Barbi Benton, shows one of their sweet and happy moments. The oddly hot couple met in 1968 during the set of his TV show, Playboy After Dark. Barbi was 18 then and pursuing her college degree, while Hugh was 42 years old and had already established a stable career.
The huge age gap was the main reason why the young Barbi was uninterested in staying with Hugh long-term. Not to mention that she was in a relationship at the time. But with Hugh’s persistence, the two became a coupe and traveled to many countries together. Due to his infidelity, Barbi moved out from the Playboy mansion three times. Obviously, their relationship wasn’t for keeps.
Steve McQueen And Jacqueline Bisset In "Bullitt"
What happens when the king of cool is paired with a stunning leading lady? Better ask Steve McQueen and Jacqueline Bisset who created headlines for being an item while they were filming the thriller movie, "Bullitt." The rumors were not surprising at the time, considering McQueen’s reputation for womanizing.
Even McQueen’s wife (yep, he was married) adored Bisset’s beauty, commenting that she was the most beautiful leading lady her husband ever had. Bisset set the record straight by saying, “no, we did not have an affair. People write things and have done for many years. Yes, he was handsome, friendly and nice and there was a little bit of teasing, but nothing happened.”
Victoria Leigh Blum aka Tanya Roberts
What’s not to love about the pretty and talented actress/producer Victoria Leigh Blum (best known by her stage name Tanya Roberts)? The star was born in the Bronx, New York and was keen on making a brighter future ahead of her. Featured on "That 70s Show" as Midge Pinciotti, she transitioned from modeling to acting and producing.
In the fifth installment of the TV series, "Charlie’s Angels" (1980), she replaced Shelley Hack. In 1982, she graced the cover of Playboy magazine to promote her adventure film "The Beastmaster." Seen with beauty, grace and talent on and off cam, Tanya Roberts got her notable role as Stacey Sutton in the 1985 James Bond movie, "A View to a Kill."
Grace Kelly And Her Effortless Beauty
Say hello to this timeless beauty—Grace Kelly relaxing in a pool back in 1955. Kelly enjoyed stardom in the entertainment industry during the Golden Age of Television. She appeared in films like "Mogambo," "The Country Girl," "High Noon" and "To Catch a Thief," among many others. After six years of her award-winning success as an actress, she married Prince Rainier III and graced her duties as the Princess of Monaco.
The beautiful royal couple had three children namely Caroline, Albert, and Stephanie. Despite her absence from the movie industry, Kelly is a force to be reckoned with, her iconic status and contributions as an artist, and as a real-life princess, incomparable.
Bob Dylan And Robert De Niro Hanging Out Backstage
When two of the finest artists hang out, they deserve nothing less than a souvenir photo. This snap of the awesome guys was taken at the Roxy, backstage, sometime in 1976. What a pair! Bob Dylan, a ten-time Grammy Award winner, and inducted member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and Robert De Niro, a prized actor/producer with many accolades to his name (like two Academy awards, a Golden Globe and two Primetime Emmy awards, among many others).
The pair were snapped in attendance at a concert of Ronee Blakley’s. Yes, folks, it’s possible that legends from different fields can be friends. Did we say that they were also photographed with Lainie Kazan and Sally Kirkland that same night? Great minds think alike, right?
