No bombing


I posted recently a photograph I came across online that I'd not seen before. It was of Shirley Jones and her then husband, Jack Cassidy, together with her stepson David Cassidy. Turns out it wasn't the only photo of hers I'd not clocked before. Here she is, probably taken high up in the Hollywood Hills, on a diving board. Which got me thinking; you know what's coming next don't you; that's right, and purely in the name of research I hasten to add, I then began to find more photographs of other starlets taken in their local baths...

Barbara Stanwyck

Rita Hayworth


Marilyn Monroe


Phoebe Cates


Deidre de Peyer


I think now would be a good time to stop (after all, I do have a reputation to think of).

If you've been affected by any of the content in this blog post I would strongly urge you to take a cold shower.

  1. "Honestly Officer, I was just admiring the construction of the diving boards". These excuses are getting more and more desperate.

    1. I put it you Ernie that maintaining and servicing diving boards can only be done with a scantly clad Hollywood starlet from a bygone age sitting on same. Happy to be proven wrong.

  2. You made those last two names up, didn't you?

    1. You'd think so, CC, wouldn't you? But no, they are, in true 'Call My Bluff' style, true.

    2. Phoebe Cates might have something to say about that.

    3. Ms. Cates is now 60: some 40+ years have passed since her bikini clad diving board posturing/posing, so it really is a bygone age - even for her.
