We’ll be the first to admit that we’re partial to a bit of Tinseltown nostalgia every now and then, especially when it comes to old Hollywood.
That being said, one needn’t always look back that far, especially when today’s A-listers’ early headshots hold just as much yesteryear charm as vintage pictures of ’50s starlets.
