Here's where you'll find very high quality images of famous screen stars, mostly from the 1940's and earlier.  We've scanned 8 x 10 glossy movie stills and publicity photos, and the resulting full-size pictures are presented for your viewing and downloading pleasure—all free.

There are pictures of many popular movie stars, and some lesser-known actors.  The artists shown here are an eclectic group, as you can see in the Galleries (which contain our scans) and in The Annex (which showcases scans from our guest contributors).  We've also provided Movie Summaries for photos that we can identify as being from a particular film, including poster artwork wherever possible.  Look for some Film Clips scattered throughout as well, to bring the movie stills to life.  A thumbnail of each new scan is displayed on the News page for your convenience, so check there often for the latest updates.  We also have full-length radio shows and songs for many of the stars (see the Galleries for these as well).

It's hard to find full-size, top quality movie images, so we decided to create this site.  Each scan can take up to several hours to prepare properly to achieve the desired quality.

Our goals include:  high quality pictures, frequent updates, easy site navigation, no ads or pop-ups, accuracy, and everything presented in good taste.  We hope you'll agree that we've met these objectives and download all your favorites—either individually or as zipped sets!
