Photos taken of famous people together that you would never have expected to be together but make you happy all the same.

(Joan Jett, Mike Tyson)

For our sight-impaired readers, good thinking.

Day 22:
Tom Baker & Lis Sladen from #DoctorWho, plus pretty much everyone else who was famous in the 70s, at a party for disabled children at 10 Downing Street on Friday 19 December 1975

I think another picture from this same event was already posted to this thread, but one with fewer famous people in it, plus it's now colourised. I suppose seeing 70s BBC light entertainment people together isn't that much of a surprise, but that's a lot of them in one place (plus Russell Harty who I think was still at ITV at that point) (plus Harold and Mary Wilson)

of the celebs, still alive are - Graham Garden, Ian Lavender, Bill Oddie, Tom Baker, Valerie Singleton and I think that's it? (also it's jarring tot remember that both Vera Lynn and Mary Wilson were both still alive until the last few years)

Raquel Welch attended Chelsea's match against Leicester City in 1972. The actress was chaperoned by former player and TV star Jimmy Hill. After the match a young fan insisted on getting Welch's autograph, but she refused and Hill stepped in.

gotta say, my man Bill Oddie looks pretty good in that Downing St pic.

Mick Jagger and Leni Riefenstahl

Not that it makes me happy.

Great to see Alice again since we were working in adjacent rooms at AIR Studios in 1982. What a gent. pic.twitter.com/FY4OrzGgOC

Really need an '82 pic of them.

Startled to learn today that Exene Cervenka and Viggo Mortensen were married in the 80s, and also starred in Salvation! which had an original New Order soundtrack. Probably old news to many.

Can't say that photo makes me happy tbh.

is she Lady Skin now?

(nevermind, OBE doesn't seem to include that)

Telly Savalas is the goddamn focal point of every photo he’s ever been in, and if you don’t believe me here’s proof that not even Frank Sinatra could upstage that sweet Greek bastard’s swagger. pic.twitter.com/SGxfUn8XUd

— Super 70s Sports (@Super70sSports) February 26, 2023

Sinatra having apparently been bequeathed one of Elvis's jumpsuits which he chose to wear for that evening's fun certainly adds...something.
