Apparently, Google and LIFE magazine teamed up or something and archived millions of HQ photos. Adding "source:life" to any image search in Google limits the results to the archives. What does this mean? Tons of old, "rare," or even unseen photos of older performers and theatre people at our disposal...



Carol Channing



Sondheim, Leonard Bernstein, and Jerome Robbins, pre-WSS



Ethel Merman and Irving Berlin rehearsing Call Me Madam

Seriously, this is amazing. Feel free to go nuts and show us some of your great finds!

Wow, I had no idea Gypsy Rose Lee did 3-Penny Opera. Anyone know anything about that production: http://images.google.com/hosted/life/l?q=gypsy+rose+source:life&imgurl=3843e40258b1d854
