NEW FROM OUR FRIENDS AT EUROPEAN FILM STAR POSTCARDS AND THE G.D.I.

New acquisitions at G.D.I.: a gift from the Dutch Beatles Museum 

Egbert Barten of the Geoffrey Donaldson Institute (G.D.I.) always lends us his newly acquired postcards to present them at European Film Star Postcards. This time he handed me over two albums which his institute had received as gifts. Today, we present the first album: a collection of Dutch and German postcards in black and white from the late 1950s and early 1960s. Egbert got the postcards from the Beatles Museum in Alkmaar. Probably they were part of a postcard album which included Beatles postcards. G.D.I. was given the other postcards, of which we present a selection of 17 postcards of classic Hollywood stars and German teenager idols of the era.  (CLICK ON THE PHOTO SEE A VERY YOUNG AND STRIKING WARREN BEATTY)

P.S. Warren was incredible in SPLENDOR IN THE GRASS, as was Natalie Wood.  This is a film that should be on everyone's bucket list.  From 1961, it  tells a story of a teenage girl navigating her feelings of sexual repression, love, and heartbreak. Written by William Inge, who won an Oscar for his screenplay, the film was directed by Elia Kazan and features a score by jazz composer David Amram.
