With every fantastic film to the ones that we really didn't care that much about, there are countless hours put in to the end product. Not to mention the hours of down time between takes plus the early mornings in hair and makeup before one scene is even shot. This photo series is all about the stars and the candid behind the scene glances as they prepare for their closeups to how they spend their time on set.
The beautiful Anna May Wong catching up on correspondence between scenes.
Ava Gardner relaxing between scenes on the set of "East Side, West Side"
Silent screen star Bebe Daniels in costume on set.
Betty Shaw having her hoop skirt adjusted on set (I'm not sure how they walked around in those. It would be like wearing an upside down laundry basket all day).
Bing Crosby enjoying a smoke between takes (He doesn't look all that happy).
Boris Karloff waiting on makeup and hopefully a ham sandwich.
Charlie Chaplin behind the camera during filming of "Gold Rush"
Montgomery Clift relaxing between scenes. (You would think he could find a more comfortable spot than a rubber hose though).
Doris Day getting direction from Alfred Hitchcock on the set of "The Man Who Knew Too Much"
Dick Powell rehearsing for a musical number
Marlene Dietrich being held up while trying to relax between takes on the set of "The Spoilers" 1942
Until next time make sure you're always ready for your closeup! Oh, I'm working on another photo montage so you will have to come back to see which film I've chosen to have some fun with.

Academy Award 1929-1930 Fun Facts:
This would be the last year that actors would be nominated for more than one role in the Best Actor/Actress category. Of course in later years when the Best Supporting Actor/Actress was introduced actors were nominated forBest Actor then Best Supporting Actor for different films in the same year.
This was the first year that a film took home Best Picture and the Best Director Oscars.
The Best Picture winner "All Quiet On the Western Front" was very controversial as an Anti War film. The film was later banned in Germany after Hitler rose to power due to it's portrayal of German soldiers who grow disillusioned with war.
George Arliss was the first British Actor to win an Oscar for his role in "Disraeli" which was also one of the first biographical films released by Warner Bro's. Arliss plays the 19th Century British Prime Minister, a role he also performed on stage in 1911. So the Oscar was also the first for a role portrayed on stage then on film. (I will be doing a post on George Arliss at a later date).
It came as a surprise to the industry and early movie-goers that Norma Shearer won over Greta Garbo who was favored for her gripping portrayal of a waterfront streetwalker in "Anna Christie". Although Shearer's performance in "The Divorcee" was worthy of a nomination, it's been speculated that she won due to her husband, Irving Thalberg's standing and influence as MGM's Vice President and Production Head.
This was the first instance when blood relatives won Oscars the same year. Norma Shearer for BestActress and her brother Douglas Shearer won for Best Sound (Recording)Engineer for "The Big House".
Another upset was for Best Cinema-photography which everyone assumed would go to Howard Hughes "Hells Angels" (Also Jean Harlow"s first screen appearance).
Another surprising omission was Lew Ayres or any actors nomination for their roles in the Best Picture winner "All Quiet On the Western Front" (I will be doing a post on Lew Ayres in the future).
My Honorable mention goes to Greta Garbo for her role in "Anna Christie" (Who doesn't love her line in that thick German accent "Give me a whiskey and make it a double")
