    Great photos Carlo. Thanks for sharing. How did you know that that was Mitt's dad? That's George Romney. He was once President of American Motors [[later bought out by Chysler). He was also Govenor of Michigan during the entire height of the Supremes' career, so this must have been a Detroit event.

    Carlo,
    Thanks for the pics. Awesome way to go back down memory lane. I know they were professionals and had to smile but, sometimes it looks as though they didn't know the camera was on them and they still were having a good time. At any rate thanks again.

    Thanks, Carlo...really enjoyed these photos. In so many ways it doesn't seem like that long ago.

  22. #22
    You're welcome guys! I can't take credit for these photos, since I didn't take them myself, nor did I originally post them on the internet. I found them on different websites when I was searching Google last night. But I am more than happy to share!

    No, thank goodness. But Mary wrote that Tom did bring her backstage after their affair ended.

    I think Mary looks great in most of those shots. There were a few hair-don'ts, though

    Great pictures!! I always felt Mary wore long wigs the best. Just about all of her long wigs looked good on her. Diana, on the other hand, always looked better with the shorter, bouffant wigs.

    Carlo, can you post more from the Jean era. I love seeing that grouping in the 60s gowns and the differences

  34. #34
    The only rare Jean era photo I found during my search a few nights ago was the one I posted above. If I find more rare shots, I'll post them here.

    Some are just iconic pictures of the group: 14, 15, 16, 24, 25, 29, 33, 43, 49

    On 37 and 38 Florence looks miserable.

    Pic 50 is my all time favorite picture of D. Ross

    It was the Duke and Dutchess of Bedford. It was the 'thing' to do during the swinging sixties for the nobs to 'hang out' with pop stars. Today it all seems slightly absurd.

    Here's the story...
