Pictures are likely the closest thing to time travel we have, and luckily, numerous photographers have made it possible for us to travel way back. From photos in family albums taken decades ago to images of famous people on the covers of old magazines, they allow us to catch a glimpse of moments we couldn’t have otherwise witnessed ourselves.

Quite a few spectacular moments have been caught by photographers documenting the life of Hollywood stars back in the day. There’s even an entire Instagram account dedicated to them, known to the fans as ‘Old Hollywood’. It boasts an impressive collection, which includes photographs of such well-known celebrities as Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley, and Audrey Hepburn, and they are just the tip of the iceberg. Scroll down to find some of the captivating photos shared by ‘Old Hollywood’ and take a quick trip back in time.

Below you will also find thoughts on nostalgia shared by professor of psychology at Georgia Gwinnett College, David Ludden, who was kind enough to answer a few of Bored Panda’s questions.

Looking through old pictures often takes us back to beautiful moments in the past we feel fond of. Cue the nostalgia. Sometimes all it takes is a pop-up notification reminding you of what you did a year ago to make you spend the rest of the hour browsing the gallery on your phone.

“We feel nostalgia for things that are associated with pleasant memories,” professor of psychology at Georgia Gwinnett College, David Ludden, told Bored Panda. “This could be a particular time period. For instance, many people feel that high school was the best years of their life—good friends, fun times, little stress—so they often feel nostalgic about that. But you can feel nostalgic about anything in the past that you have fond memories of—a favorite food from childhood, a place you once visited, a former friend or lover.”

“The only thing I ever found any grace in was a car,” Newman once confessed. “I’m a very competitive person. I always have been. And it’s hard to be competitive about something as amorphous as acting. But you can be competitive on the track, because the rules are very simple and the declaration of the winner is very concise.”

David Ludden, Ph.D., pointed out that nostalgia is a bittersweet emotion. “It’s bitter in the sense that it’s a feeling we get when our present circumstances are not happy. But it’s sweet in the sense that we’re reminiscing about a time in the past that was happier than the present.

“People use nostalgia to boost their mood when they’re feeling down. It doesn’t do anything to improve the current situation, but it does remind us that we were once happy in the past, giving us hope that we can be happy again in the future.”

#8 James Dean Reading Aloud During A Visit To His Childhood Home In Fairmount, Indiana, 1955

“James Whitcomb Riley was the poet of the Hoosier, and Jimmy loved to read from his work, which he did for me one day after dinner, to give me a feeling of the people and place whence he had come,” wrote photographer Dennis Stock.

Even though nostalgia is typically evoked by moments we’ve enjoyed in the past, allowing us to feel good in the present moment as well, we should not cling to it. “Some people spend so much time living in the past that they miss opportunities for happiness in the present time. Like any other form of escapism, nostalgia can help improve our mood if used in moderation, but it can negatively impact our quality of life if used in excess,” the professor of psychology told Bored Panda.

Dr. Ludden suggested that most of us likely engage in nostalgia on occasion, but some do it more than others. “Those with a tendency toward depression or anxiety may be more inclined to use nostalgia to dampen their negative feelings,” he pointed out. “Likewise, those who are not very open to new experiences and don’t like dealing with change may be more inclined toward nostalgia because they find the familiar past more comforting than the uncertain present.”

GWI revealed that when it comes to who tends to feel most nostalgic, two generations take the lead. Gen Z is reportedly the most nostalgia-seeking one with 15% of representatives saying they prefer to think about the past rather than the future. Gen Zers are closely followed by Millennials, 14% of whom agree to the same statement.

#15 Elvis Presley And Steve Binder At Nbc Studios For The Filming Of The 1968 Comeback Special

“Every day after rehearsal, he [Elvis] would go into this dressing room, get around the piano with whoever happened to be around at the time and jammed,” noted Binder. “They would just go on for hours every single day…That’s when we got to see the real Elvis. It wasn’t because of the big production numbers and the gospel numbers and the guitar man sequence and all the sets and costumes and extras. To me, the reason that the ’68 special holds up 50 years later is because it’s totally Elvis.”

The production closed after 25 previews and 33 performances. “It’s what it was. It had its flaws. It wasn’t great, but it wasn’t bad either. The main thing was that people felt the connection with Shakespeare,” the actor later commented.

Even though representatives of some generations might be more prone to nostalgic reverie, the extent to which they experience it differs with each person. So do the things that evoke nostalgia the most; for some it might be seeing a long-lost T-shirt they got from a friend, while others would get more nostalgic hearing that friend’s voice instead.

“Sights or sounds in the current environment can serve as memory cues that bring nostalgic thoughts to mind,” Prof. Ludden told Bored Panda. “For example, many couples had a special song when they were dating, and years later when they hear ‘our song,’ they feel nostalgia for that happy time. But it’s not just sights and sounds. Any of the senses can evoke a nostalgic memory, whether it be the scent a former lover used to wear, the taste of a favorite food from childhood, or the feel of a familiar fabric.”

#20 The Beatles Cooling Off During A Cover Shoot For Life Magazine In Miami, 1964

“I went down to Florida to make this photo after being asked if I had any ideas on what to do with the Beatles as a cover,” said photographer John Loengard. “It was my idea to put them in a pool—but we couldn’t find a heated pool, the water in the pool we did use was cold, and there was always the problem of other press trying to get in. It would have to be a pool that we could close off to everyone else. So, in the end, it was a very quick shoot in a private pool, with the Beatles shivering and singing in the water before jumping out. My impression of these guys was that they were like four high school kids. You know, they had beards, sort of—like when you first start having to shave, but aren’t quite sure how to do it.”

In a piece for Psychology Today, former athlete and science writer, Christopher Bergland, pointed out that nostalgia can even help relieve pain. Recent fMRI-based research suggests that viewing nostalgic images reduces subjective ratings of low-intensity pain, which is all the more reason to open up a photo album every once in a while.

#22 Marilyn Monroe And Arthur Miller Driving To Connecticut In Their Thunderbird Convertible, 1956

The two tied the knot on June 29, 1956 at the Westchester County Court House in White Plains, New York. Sadly, the would divorce in 1961. In a 1987 interview with 60 Minutes, Miller reflected on the final days of their marriage: “I guess to be frank about it, I was taking care of her. I was trying to keep her afloat. She was a super-sensitive instrument, and that’s exciting to be around until it starts to self-destruct.” Photos by Paul Schutzer.

#23 Harrison Ford Photographed By Dennis Stock, 1973

At the time, the up and coming actor was filming American Graffiti (1973), which he later referred to as, “the first movie where the director let me have any input.” George Lucas initially wanted Ford’s character, Bob Falfa, to have a clean cut look. “George thought my character should have a crew cut, but I wasn’t happy with that idea. I’d always had pretty long hair back then, in college, particularly, so I told George my character should wear a cowboy hat. George thought about it and he remembered a bunch of guys from Modesto, California, who cruised around, like my character, and wore cowboy hats, so it turned out that it actually fit the movie.”

Started back in 2017, the ‘Old Hollywood’ Instagram account might also be somewhat nostalgia-evoking, especially if you can relate the people in the images to some beautiful memories. For instance, maybe a picture of Audrey Hepburn on a tennis court reminds you of the time you watched Breakfast at Tiffany’s with your friends; or maybe Tina Turner gazing at you from behind the screen makes you think of the times you were blasting her songs over the speakers when you were young.

Known for his “granite features and brawny physique”, Bronson worried that his tough guy image would hinder his career. “Maybe I’m too masculine,” the actor confessed in a 1971 interview. “Casting directors cast in their own, or an idealized image. Maybe I don’t look like anybody’s ideal.”

#31 Marlon Brando Training For His Film Debut In The Men (1950), The Story Of A Paraplegic Veteran

“This was the way Brando prepared himself: he spent three weeks—day and night—living with the men on one of the paraplegic wards,” director Fred Zinnemann shared in his autobiography. “He found out not only how they moved and behaved, but how they felt and what they thought. They gradually accepted him as one of their own and he became one of them. He shared their physiotherapy, played water polo with them and went to their drinking sessions at the Pump Room. Soon only a doctor or a nurse could tell that he was not a paraplegic.” Photos by Ed Clark.

#32 A 12-Year-Old Audrey Hepburn Posing For A Dance Portrait, 1942

“I did indeed give various underground concerts to raise money for the Dutch Resistance movement,” the actress later recollected. “I danced at recitals, designing the dances myself. I had a friend who played the piano and my mother made the costumes. They were very amateurish attempts, but nevertheless at the time, when there was very little entertainment, it amused the people and gave them an opportunity to get together and spend a pleasant afternoon listening to music and seeing my humble attempts. The recitals were given in houses with windows and doors closed, and no one knew they were going on. Afterwards, money was collected and given to the Dutch Underground.” Despite her talent, Audrey’s height and the malnutrition she suffered during WWII made the status of prima ballerina unattainable, leading her to pursue a career in acting.

During their visit, Jimmy stumbled upon his great-grandfather’s gravestone. “Both Jimmy and I were struck by the odd coincidence of the name, for Jimmy, of course, had just finished portraying Cal Trask in East of Eden,” photographer Dennis Stock later wrote.

“Since Jimmy was in town, he was invited, and he not only came but brought his bongo drums as well. During the evening, he played with the band, and at one point gave a little speech. He was at that time twenty-four, several years out of high school, but most of that year’s seniors remembered him, and now that word of his impending fame had reached Fairmount, requests for autographs seemed appropriate,” photographed Dennis Stock later wrote.

“With Gene, I learnt to dance Jazz – a very different kind of dancing. Not ballet where your knees and back have to be very straight. And dancing his sort of dancing, which was inspired by Jack Cole, was something very new and different and I took to it,” remembers Caron.

#38 Marilyn Monroe Relaxing Between Takes In Filming Some Like It Hot, 1959

“This was where I fell in love for the first time. As a boy of maybe nine, or so. Marilyn really nailed my little, tentative heart,” Irish actor Colin Farrell revealed in an interview with Far Out Magazine. He added, “…like most great films, this one has some quotes and moments that just stay in the mind and resonate. It’s a film about love and friendship and second chances.” Photos by Richard C. Miller.

“I’ve worked with many fine actresses. But in my opinion, the best actress I ever worked with was Grace Kelly,” Grant revealed in a 1987 interview. “Ingrid [Bergman], Audrey [Hepburn], and Deborah Kerr were splendid, splendid actresses, but Grace was utterly relaxed—the most extraordinary actress ever. Her mind was razor-keen, but she was relaxed while she was doing it. I appreciated that. It’s not an easy profession, despite what most people think.”

In her autobiography, Caron recalled: “Another very young dancer…very promising, with a pretty face and slim figure, joined the company for the 1947 Paris season…[Eventually] She chose another road and did quite well. We called her ‘Bichette’ (Little Doe), but her name was Brigitte Bardot.” Photos by Michou Simon.

“That movie touched the core of my being,” said Dunaway. “Never have I felt so close to a character as I felt to Bonnie. She was a yearning, edgy, ambitious southern girl who wanted to get out of wherever she was. I knew everything about wanting to get out, and the getting out doesn’t come easy. But with Bonnie there was a real tragic irony. She got out only to see that she was heading nowhere and that the end was death.”

Benson’s career had predominantly consisted of performing for the stage when she was hired to voice the role of Ariel. “I was absolutely petrified because I’d never been behind a microphone before,” she later confessed. Benson credits much of her success to lyricist, Howard Ashman. “I really struggled with insecurity and [Ashman] was a cheerleader, you know, he just pulled everything out of me to be able to do this. At one point, I told [Howard], ‘I can’t do this. I think they got the wrong girl…There’s a million people that can do this that know what the heck they’re doing,'” Benson added. “He [was] like,…’You’ve got this. You can do this.’ There’d be no Ariel [without him]. It’s all Howard…People say, ‘Oh I love Ariel.’ I’m like, ‘Then you love Howard,’ because Ariel…is who Howard

#78 Director Sidney Lumet And Marlon Brando On The Set Of The Fugitive Kind, 1960

“Brando tests the director on the first or second day of shooting,” Lumet confessed in his book, Making Movies. “What he does is to give you two apparently identical takes. Except that on one, he is really working from the inside; and on the other, he’s just giving you an indication of what the emotion was like. Then he watches which one you decide to print. If the director prints the wrong one, the ‘indicated’ one, he’s had it. Marlon will either walk through the rest of the performance or make the director’s life hell, or both. Nobody has the right to test people like that, but I can understand why he does that. He doesn’t want to pour out his inner life to someone who can’t see what he’s doing.”

Crewe co-wrote a string of chart successes with Bob Gaudio including Big Girls Don’t Cry, Rag Doll, Walk Like a Man, and Can’t Take My Eyes Off of You. “He was an enormous talent,” Valli said of Crewe. “He was making records from the early ‘50s to the ‘60s and ‘70s. He had his own record company for a while. Sometimes I wonder if the industry really realized what a talent he was. He was surely one of the most creative people I ever worked with.”
