For Thanksgiving on this dreary year, I thought it would be fun to look at the holiday with images of past years. Thanksgiving may not be grand for us in 2020, but better times will come.
Courtesy of the Amazing Actors of Old Hollywood community, allow me to share some Thanksgiving publicity photos of great movie stars back when movies were fun, not wanton obscenity and hectoring minefields of political correctness.
Felix the Cat shows how it's done. Not sure about the guy in the Felix suit, but then, the original Mickey at Disneyland was terrifying. |
Marilyn Monroe goes after wild game. |
Looking delicious, Rita Hayworth -- and so does the turkey! |
Adelle August had a short movie career but plenty long legs. Probably not the first turkey she got to do her bidding. |
Debbie Reynolds lands on Plymouth Rock. |
That moment Doris Day became an animal rights activist. |
Durante compares schnozzolas. |
I dream of Pilgrims. Seems to be a holiday mashup for Barbara Eden. |
I think we all know who killed this turkey. |
Just slipping in a little cannibal from the neighborhood! |
Harold Lloyd either doing his shopping for Thanksgiving dinner or just back from Black Friday doorbusters. |
And finally, another great movie star, the Tin Man, wombles down the avenue. |
Happy Thanksgiving, all! Feast and be grateful -- if you're reading this, you have survived 100% of everything life has been able to throw at you so far. God bless!

It looks like those men are flossing Felix's nose. I'd like to try that on a cat's nose here, but I'd likely bleed out within minutes.
And Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours, Fred.

Happy Thanksgiving. I have to go sharpen the axe.
Just now getting to the web reading --
Happy Thanksgiving to all!
And to avoid being late,
Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, et cetera, et cetera.
