There are more amazing star postcards than I ever can show in this blog. More, many more untold stories to tell. Someone who keeps reminding me of that is Didier Hanson. Every week or so, he surprises me with scans of postcards I had never seen before. Or stars I had never heard of, but who were all working once in the European cinema. To give you an impression, here are eleven 'rares' from Didier's incredible collection.
