Pictured here is Gene Klein, professionally known as Gene Simmons, without any makeup or costume. The Israeli-American musician and television personality is the co-singer and bassist of rock band, KISS. The Demon (his famous stage persona) lives in Los Angeles with his wife, actress, and former Playboy Playmate, Shannon Lee Tweed.
Simmons used to date the Queen of Pop, Cher. Theirs was an odd, open relationship which Cher described as being, “the best relationship I’ve ever had with a human being.” She admitted that she was crazy about Gene. “Gene might spend time with another woman and stay the night, but he wants her to leave in the morning so he can get on with his day.”
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?
The Adorable Lucille Ball And Desi Arnaz When Young
There’s too much cuteness in this photo! Can you tell that the left image was of Lucille Ball who was two years old at the time? On the right was six-year-old Desi Arnaz. Later on, these two became one of Hollywood’s super-couples. They starred together on their own hit show, "I Love Lucy," which won multiple Emmy awards and other nominations.
The show enjoyed a successful run from 1951 to 1957 and became the most-watched show in the U.S. at the time. Although naive and a troublemaker, Lucy had big dreams; we suppose this is what made the show a hilarious success.
The Stunning Tuesday Weld!
Although, she retired from acting, Tuesday Weld (born as Susan Weld) still stuns on and off the camera. The lovely actress began acting as a child; perhaps this is the reason why she left show business. Her mature roles took place in the late 1950s and, after a decade, she earned her very first Golden Globe award for Most Promising Female Newcomer.
The next decade was magical for Weld as she was able to establish herself as a dramatic actress. Her notable roles in films like "Play It as It Lays" (1972) earned her Golden Globe award nominations. And the talented actress received an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress for "Looking for Mr. Goodbar" (1977).
Tina Louise In The 1960s Film, "The Warrior Empress"
Versatility is the word that best describes Tina Louise for her talent as an actress, singer, and author. The stunning woman earned popularity for playing Ginger Grant on the CBS comedy, "Gilligan’s Island." Louise clashed with the showrunner because she believed that her character was too harsh. Although they reached a compromise, she often had disagreements regarding her role.
In 1958, she landed her breakthrough role in the movie, "God’s Little Acre," which earned her a Golden Globe award in the category of New Star of the Year. Tina Louise starred in many Hollywood films such as "The Trap," "The Hangman," and "The Stepford Wives," among others. Louise is also an advocate of child literacy and has volunteered her time at local public schools.
