A bigger bang for the Fourth of July!

On this Fourth of July, Dana Plato's years of research into how to get a REALLY big bang is being put into practice. (If your windows shatter, it means we've had a Best Independence Day Celebration Ever here at Shades of Gray.)

We got flag-waving pin-ups of a slightly different sort for this year's Independence Day celebration!

Happy Independence Day, U.S.A!

We hope all our American friends, no matter where they are in the world, have a safe and happy Fourth of July during these unusual times! Here at Shades of Gray, Gloria Shea and Joan Blondell are sporting their matching Uncle Sam outfits while Grace Bradley is testing her Social Distancing Fireworks Display.

Mae-be Fourth of July Cos-Playing?

Mae West is cos-playing the Statue of Liberty on this Independence Day!


(This picture originally appeared in the July issue of Vanity Fair in 1938, pretty much exactly eighty years ago!)

Happy Fourth of July!

We hope all our American visitors have great Independence Day, even if you might not be able to celebrate it with some gender-reversing cos-play like Olga San Juan, Noel Niell and Nancy Porter did!

Happy Fourth of July!

Joan Bennett is making sure this Fourth of July goes out with a HUGE bang!


Fireworks safety...

... means nothing--NOTHING!--to Rochelle Hudson! (Don't follow her lead... have a safe and happy Fourth of July!)

To all my American friends -- Happy Independence Day!

I hope it's a safe and happy one, spent with friends and family! (And may your fireworks stock resemble that of Susan Hayward's.)

Ann Miller is ready for the Fourth of July!




She's prone to overkill. Or maybe she's going to be celebrating the Fourth by dropping fireworks on the heads of  those fun-loving folk in ISIS.

Have you got your plans all settled? Whether you have or not, we wish you and yours a Happy Fourth of July (tomorrow)!

A request from the management regarding fireworks

Be sure to practice safe handling of fireworks this Fourth of July. We don't want to ruin Gloria Grahame's outfit again this year.

Independence Day Fireworks Safety

The Fourth of July is almost upon us, and Americans will again celebrate our country by setting off explosives. If you are handling fireworks this Friday night, be like Marilyn Monroe...



... but completely ignore Ann Miller.

Happy Fourth of July!

Happy Independence Day, America! The A-Team (Ava Gardner, Alice White ]in another one of her many bizarre hats] and Ann Miller) are pitching in to make it an extra special one both here at home and abroad!
