    This B&W "poster" measures 18x24 inch.
    It has most of the famous actors and actresses from the 50's & 69's.

    Those are usually studio photographs. Yours is really hard to see as shot from an angle but I see Clark Gable and Fred Astaire so may be MGM in the 1950s.

While my Mom was out in Reno, Nevada WAAAAY back, busy getting a divorce, she swore and ALWAYS claimed she went out with him once!!!! Fact or Fiction.......????? :rolleyes::rolleyes::smuggrin::joyful: I'll never know, but she was adamant and it was supposed to be a famous divorce ranch!!!!

    MGM did this promotion in 1949:


    Idle guess is that this photo is along the same lines.

    I wish your photo was shot straight on, instead of at an angle.
    It's really hard to see who is there.
    In addition, think I see Angela Lansbury, Lionel Barrymore, Humphrey Bogart......
