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

i'm the opposite. i don't know who any of these people are, it's just the joy of seeing unknown people in the same place that delights me

there's so much beauty in the world
i feel like I can't take it
like my heart is just going to cave in

Just heard "I Never Talk To Strangers" on the radio, and remembered this:

(+1, leo, the boyfriend who is cool with fuckface assaulting his partner as long as he gets more access to rich people, david blaine, amy dorris)

and these photos 'make you happy all the same'?

Well yeah, look at blaine’s face there, it’s contagious

after I posted that I was wondering if I'd ever posted the Jimmy Savile, Peter Sutcliffe, Frank Bruno photo

Savile probably has as many 'pictured with random other famous* person' photos as Alice Cooper

* Britisher of an era famous

There's also this gem, Frank Bruno, Sir James Jingle Jangle Savile, and, erm, The Yorkshire Ripper.

I needed that

good old David Bowie and Some Woman In A Hat

Liz Taylor, innit?

The story behind that photo is that Liz really wanted to meet Bowie, so they arranged some kind of hotel meetup. And he made her wait for HOURS and HOURS... maybe just trying to out-diva the diva, but this photo looks like he was deep in the coke years, so that's another possibility.

those are both some really fine linen clothes. can you imagine the little silken rustling they produced when they pressed against each other??

not exactly unexpected but i love this photo

Not unexpected, but this photo made me happy

Jacques Brel, Leo Ferre, Georges Brassens

I don't know if the people make me happy, but the strange resonance between their outfits does

(MC Hammer and Ivanka)

the deputy leader of the Legion of Super-Heroes meeting with the winner of the 2983 mayoral election

wait, no

Ah, a young Sam Beckett!

that is a cute photo that makes me happy but c'mon

Hadn't even thought of that.

I mean, they weren't in the same scenes or anything.

Those three definitely never worked together on a film.

you'd think they would have!

at this point though, it's too late for even two of them to work together again. :(

Who's the kid with Andre the Giant?

Charlie McCarthy

Oh, ok, never heard of him. A child star?

@ KM - George Lucas produced Labyrinth starring David Bowie and with puppets by Jim Henson

kid with Andre the Giant is US sitcom star Fred Savage; the photo is presumably from the set or promotional campaign of The Princess Bride, which features both actors although not in the same scenes.

Charlie McCarthy was a popular ventriloquist dummy circa the 1940s

Sadly no photos but I’m sure you can picture it, even if the story has been somewhat embellished in the telling.

This why I still pay for my ILX subscription each month.

that good content

tbc I still 100% endorse Tuomas asking who these various foreign randos are, even when it's funny to give misinformation in response

also, FPing pp unless he can post the same photo with Peter Falk perched on Andre's knee

https://i.imgur.com/Mk4PF2r.jpg

uh that is Los Angeles homicide detective Lt Columbo, not the nice old man Peter Falk who acted in The Princess Bride, FPing Hadrian

And why is there a photo of Albert Steptoe in the background?

sorry pp I tried to help. See you in two weeks!
