These photos are great. This one of Christine is maybe the most beautiful photo I have ever seen.

I particularly like the newspaper with color photos for a play set in the 1930s.

With all due respect, I've seen the show, and that picture looks like it's been air brushed. She looks her age in the show, and she looks much younger in that photo.

Is Lansbury wearing her Dear World costume?

Haha. When I was at the first preview, I whispered to my friend "she looks like the madwoman of chaillot!"

LOL.

Well spotted Smaxie!

And the servants haven't put the tablecloth on straight; they just couldn't get the staff in those days.

Rupert looks surprisingly good as well - I'd like to know what's in his bathroom cabinet.

Rupert is gorgeous and is 100% my type, but he does look better on stage than up close...

I have to disagree, madbrain. I saw the show on Thursday and thought that Ebersole looked absolutely ravishing on stage. Having seen her in concert up close, she looked 10 years younger in Blithe Spirit. The pale makeup and thick, blonde wig are major contributors, but she looked ravishing.

I love that picture of Christine, wow! I want her to be back on Broadway in a musical, she can't keep that talent she has to herself! I love her voice so much!
