Prince Di
Princess Diana was completely unique. Unlike any other royal, she captured our hearts with her beauty and grace. Diana was the ‘peoples princess’ and she stood in line just like everyone else when she look her children to Disneyland. Here she is looking chic and casual with Prince Harry riding on her back.
Disney Princess
This picture captures happy times for Diana, yet she was trapped in an unhappy marriage at the time. Prince harry is just a baby here, showing a glimpse of the man he would become. How would have believe that Diana would have such a sudden, dramatic and tragic death some years later?

Post-Divorce Bliss
Happiness is….going solo! Or at least it was for Nicole Kidman. Her joy is plain to see in this photo take just after her divorce from first husband Tom Cruise became final.
Marriage Timeline
Nicole met Tim in 1989 and married one year later. Their marriage saw them star in many hit films together, the most notable being Far and Away and Eyes Wide Shut. But in 2001 Tom filed for divorce. His reasons for doing so remain unknown. It just goes to show that a Hollywood marriage can still fail, despite huge amounts of chemistry – on or off screen.
David Bowie Being David Bowie
David Bowie was the King of Reinvention and he really rocked the enigmatic, androgynous look and made it cool to be just yourself, or to be whatever you wisheds to be. Bowie made it cool to just be.
Picture worth a thousand words
This picture just sums of the devil-may-care cool of Bowie. His flawless look and epic musical talent made him a rock icon.
Freddy Mercury in action
Iconic, flamboyant and irrepressible – 3 words that sum of the lead singer of the British Rock group Queen. Their song ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ featuring Freddie’s unique vocals, is one of the all time greats.
Caught in the moment
Mercury’s onstage presence was legendary – this shot captures the moment he arrives on stage on a motorcycle back in 1980. Like every one of his performance – this was certainly one to remember.
James Dean, Yes Please
James Dean’s character in the 1955 movie Rebel Without A Cause – Jim Stark – was the epitome of the disillusioned, rebellious teen. Dean’s smoldering good looks makes him one of Hollywood’s most memorable heart throbs.
Here kitty kitty kitty
This is Marcus, James’ pet cat. Marcus was given to Dean by his friend and co-star Elisabeth Taylor when they worked together on the film Giant. Tragically James Dean died in a car accident in 1955, aged just 24. He is buried in Park Cemetery, Fairmount, Indiana.
Two Legends, One Kitchen
Paul McCartney and Michael Jackson had a close friendship and also collaborated musically with songs such as The Girl is Mine. Sadly their friendship was short lived and came to a rather dramatic end.
Friendship breaks down
Jackson and McCartney fell out over the rights to the Beatles songs. Jackson outbid McCartney for the rights to McCartney’s own songs and ended up with a 50% share of the Beatles songs. Understandably McCartney thought that was a pretty underhand and sneaky way for a friend to behave. However when Jackson died in 2009 McCartney said, “"I feel privileged to have hung out and worked with Michael,"
Model Milla
In 2004 Milla Jovovich was the highest paid model in the world. With her natural beauty it is easy to see why she commanded top dollar. Since then she has become a top actress.
Young, wild and free
The top photo shows a 13 year old Milla in 1988 just before she started in Night Train to Kathmandu. She later went on to star in such movies as Resident Evil and The Fifth Element.
Amy Winehouse back in the day
This 1990 photo of Amy Winehouse visiting Paris shows the young singer’s natural beauty. This was in the days before she adopted her trade mark bee hive and unique make up style.
A Tragic end
Amy Winehouse shot to fame with her expressive, sultry vocals and her vibrant personal style. Sadly she fell victim to addiction to drugs and alcohol and dies at the tender age of 27. She will always be remembered for the musical hits she has left behind.
Dreamy Meryl Streep
A lovely image of a young Meryl Streep rising the subway back in 1981. Meryl has remained a star for decades, not only is she a natural beauty but also an enormously talented actress.
Best of our time
Meryl has been nominated a whopping 21 times in the Academy Awards and has won 3 times. She is also the proud holder of 8 Golden Globes after having 31 nominations. She is one of the best actresses of our generation and has received more nominations than any other performer.
Baby Brad
Brad Pitt’s first film roles, way back in 1987, didn’t even get him a spot on the credit list. Now he is one of the golden starts of Hollywood and is one of the industry’s highest paid actors. 31 years later he is still melting hearts.
Former Mr. Jolie
Brad Pitt married Angelina Jolie back in 2014 and has recently made the headlines because of their divorce. However, Brad remains a major-league heart-throb just like in this image of him in his younger years.
Blonde bombshell
Marilyn Monroe was the sex symbol of the 50s and remains an iconic figure to this day. Her unique combination of girlish innocence and sultry sex took her right to the top. This is just one of the rare photos of Marilyn and her beauty just shines through.
Troubled woman
Despite the fame and fortune, Monroe suffered for many years from depression, anxiety and substance abuse. Constantly under the public eye, Marilyn tragically died of a drug overdose in 1962, at the young age of 36.
British Royalty
Back in 1997 The Spice Girls were British Pop Royalty. Here you can see Prince Harry and Prince Charles – the real Royalty – meeting with this standard bearing all girl band.
Brits Stick Together
In the run up to the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle there were lots of rumors that The Spice Girls would reunite and perform at the after-party. This did not happen, sadly, but Victoria ‘Posh Spice’ Beckham did get an invite, along with her footballer husband, David.
Young Lovers
What an adorable couple! Ironman – Robert Downey Jr, and Sex in the City’s Sarah Jessica Parker look so young and in love back in 1991. Unfortunately Downey’s substance abuse issues brought this love affair to an end.
A Reunion
In 2014 Robert Downey Jr paid Sarah a visit, he wanted to get some things off his chest and also soothe any ill feelings. He met her and her husband Matthew Broderick at home with their children. Afterwards he spoke of how amazing they both were. It is great to have a happy ending.
Crazy, Stupid Love
Back in 1990 Johnny Depp and Winona Ryder starred together in Edward Scissorhands. They fell madly in love, got engaged and Depp even had her name tattooed on his arm. Is it still there?
Really married?
Depp was only 27 and Ryder just 28 when they got engaged, even though they didn’t eventually get married. It seems that Winona may have accidentally had more ‘luck’ walking up the aisle later. In the 1992 movie Dracula, Winona’s character married the character played by Keanu Reeves.
Apparently, Francis Ford Coppola used a real priest for the scene. In a chat show later on the 2 performers wondered whether or not they could ‘actually be married’!
Performing Master
This picture shows the magic of Sir Elton John’s skill on the stage. This English pianist, who sings and performs his own songs, was knighted by the Queen in 1998.
Award awards awards
Sir Elton is one of the most celebrated and respected UK singers and this is reflected in the huge number of awards he has achieve. He has won 5 Grammy’s, 5 Brits, an Oscar, a Golden Globe and the list goes on, not to mention the fact that he has also been given the first Brits Icon award in 1983 and the Kennedy Center Honors.
Darling Heath
Heath Ledger was an incredibly talented, and handsome, young actor with starring roles in many movies throughout the 80s, 90s and early 2000s.
The Joker
Ledger suffered from depression and it would seem that the preparation for the role as The Joker in an upcoming Batman movie was just too much. Having locked himself away for weeks to prepare for the role, Heath took his own life in 2008 at the tender age of just 27.
Disney Cuties
Back in the 1980s Justin Timberlake and Ryan Gosling met during their time in the Mickey Mouse Club. These two cuties actually lived together for a while when Ryan’s mom had to go back to Canada and he stayed at Justin’s.
Now there’s beef
No one is quite sure what went wrong with what looked like the perfect friendship. But now they are in their 30s these two guys won’t confirm that they are still in touch and avoid each other wherever they go. It all sounds a bit fishy...
Another Bowie Beauty
David Bowie is a legend, which is why he gets 2 mentions on this list. A life long smoker, no one could look as cool as Bowie, and here he is rocking his multi-colored hairstyle.
Casual Masterpiece
Bowie’s ability to reinvent himself is second to none; from his stage act to his personal appearance, he was ever-changing and original. So how would be not include him twice?!
A Waltz to Remember
Princess Diana made every woman in the world jealous back in 1985 when she got to dance with John Travolta. The 2 icons cut a dash on the dance floor at an event hosted by President Reagan.
Greece and Glam
Travolta’s dance moves in Grease and Saturday Night Fever are forever in the movie hall of fame, but Princess Diana could certainly give him a run for his money when it came to tripping the light fantastic!
Yup, a baby Steven Buscemi
