Vintage shots from days gone by!

I think that earlier photo is Nanette Fabray. That would be Shelly's (Coach TV show and others) mom.

 

Which pic are you referring to? I see Rita Hayworth, but Nanette Fabray??

According to IMDB, Shelly Fabares (pronounce Fabray) is Nanette's niece.

Shelly was quite the looker when on the Donna Reed Show. I remember when her song "Johnny Angel" was a hit.

 

awesome pictures

Here are a few of my great grandparents around San Fran.

 

aaaaahhhhh caption this...

 

After adjusting his leg braces, Marla to a moment to adjust her hearing aid.
Following which she handed James his canes, for the walk to the bird watching blind.

 

It ends here!

 

This is the one I thought was Nanette Fabares--I know she changed it to Fabres later. I thought Shelly was her daughter for some reason. Saw "The Donna Reed Show" first time around. Hope I'm not wrong on the ID.

 

That's Rita Hayworth - one of most popular pinup girls of WWII. She was gorgeous.

And yeah, I sure do remember the Donna Reed Show first-runs too. I think it was on, about the same years as "77 Sunset Strip" with Kookie Burns, and "Route 66" with Marty Milner and I can't recollect the other guy's name - what, early 60s? Back when network TV was worth watching.

 

George Maharis as Buzz. I did watch most of those.

 

Well that was a fun way to kill a couple of hours.

 

Union 76 "Sparkle Corps" from 1959. They went around checking on the overall cleanliness of 76 stations.

 

My maternal grandparents, 1964. San Francisco in the distance.

 

I'm sure the caption comment was added without any mean intent. I hope!

Hopefully it was for a caption about how cool that convertable was, right?

Right!
