Grr. I need to find naked photos of vintage celebrities through some agency that allows me to give photo credit and pay legitimately. While I can find plenty of stuff like this (NSFW), I can't find the goddamned sources and the fucking photo services have let me down...

Sorry, this is just kinda random grumbling, isn't it?

A naked photo of vintage celebrities? All I can think of is Groucho Marx naked! Not a good place to go.

Dang! Stupid dead celebrities, not leaving legal naked pix of themselves before they die! Selfish!

There are legal pics, it's just damn hard to find the source. Who do you need and how much money do you have? (no I mean, is it local magazine vs worldwide publish etc)

I need Jean Harlow, Rita Hayworth, Lana Turner, Ava Gardner, Elizabeth Taylor, Dorothy Dandridge, Marilyn Monroe, Brigitte Bardot, Jayne Mansfield, Sophia Loren, Anita Ekberg, Ursula Andress and Raquel Welch. And it's for Hustler Magazine, so a decent amount of money, but we're not just floating in it.

Me go ask someone who might have a better clue. BRB.

What I really want is to figure out where the Hollywood Babylon guy got a fair number of his images.

But cool, thanks, appreciate it.

Not getting much, just these recomendations: Getty and Corbis own a lot of those images now. Also you might try the studios (film studios) where they were employed. And yaknow, that's it. You probably tried getty tho, right?

To be really silly tho I used to go to art school with Rita Hayworth's niece, who had a fantastic face just like hers - I can't find her IRL now but dude, art school, I have nude shots of her if that helps (hahahahaaha).

I have some recent Wilfred Brimley, Bea Arthur pics I'll give away free...

Yeah, hitting Corbis and Getty was the first wave. They have a lot of PG stuff, but nothing naughty. I think that the nudes were all unsanctioned by studio too...
