American actress Tallulah Bankhead rose to fame all the way back in the 1920s. This was mainly in part due to her flamboyant lifestyle and captivating performances on stage. Bankhead then made her way to the screen, going on to star in big Hollywood films, including Alfred Hitchcock’s “Lifeboat.”
In 1937, the beautiful young actress married Broadway actor and director John Emery at her father’s home in Alabama. For their honeymoon, the young couple flew to the beautiful sea town of Norwalk, Connecticut. It might not be the most exotic place in the world, but it sure is beautiful there.
Arlene Dahl and Fernando Lamas
They say that good things come to those who wait, and that was most certainly the case as far as famous classic Hollywood actors Arlene Dahl and Fernando Lamas were concerned. This newlywed couple had to wait two years after their wedding to finally enjoy their honeymoon. They flew off to Rome to celebrate their union in 1956.
Above, we see the smiling couple enjoying the Roman sun by a beautiful Church. Since they had to wait two long years to go on their honeymoon due to work contracts holding them back, they took an especially long holiday through Italy. Good for them!
Princess Grace and Prince Rainier III
Often considered one of the most beautiful women in Hollywood, Grace Kelly rose to fame in the early 1950s by starring in hit films like “Rear Window” and “High Noon”. The actress was the epitome of beauty and grace, a status that was further cemented when she became an actual royal after marrying Prince Rainier III.
The couple got married in Monaco in 1956 and went on a 7-week cruise around the Mediterranean. Above, we see the lovebirds dancing on their honeymoon in Majorca, Spain. Prince Rainier had always refused to dance with Kelly because she was taller than him, but apparently, that thought faded away quickly.
Josephine Baker and Jo Bouillon
Josephine Baker made history when she became the first African American woman to appear in a major motion picture in 1927. Apart from her talents as an actress, Baker was also a beautiful dancer. This American-born French performer married orchestra chief Jo Bouillon all the way back in 1937.
For their honeymoon, the young couple went to Buenos Aires, Argentina, after a fairytale wedding in a small French village. And let's face it, BA is basically the Paris of South America - so they kept things classy. Above, we see the couple posing and Baker giving the camera a huge smile while dining with her hubby at an Argentinian luxury hotel.
Ann Miller and William Moss
Never has there been a more festive and joyful photo than that of Ann Miller and William Moss celebrating at the Trevi Fountain in Rome on their honeymoon in 1959. The American actress and the wealthy oilman got married in 1958 and jetted off to Italy for their romantic vacation.
Miller rose to fame for starring in Hollywood musicals during the 1940s and 50s, and even though her marriage to Moss only lasted three years, the newlyweds certainly seemed happy on their honeymoon! As you can see, the couple were throwing pennies behind their shoulders to make some wishes upon their holy matrimony.
