This promo image with white markings shows Filipina actress Neile Adams, whose nickname was Nellie, entertaining dangerous thoughts with a machine pistol at her side. Adams is known, these days, for being the wife of screen legend Steve McQueen, but she appeared in about ten films and an equal number of television shows, including The Man from U.N.C.L.E., Police Woman, and The Rockford Files. There are versions of this photo with McQueen pasted into the background, so for the fun of it we added one below.
1960—Woodward Gets First Star on Walk of Fame
Actress Joanne Woodward receives the first star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, the Los Angeles sidewalk at Hollywood Boulevard and Vine Street that serves as an outdoor entertainment museum. Woodward was one of 1,558 honorees chosen by the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce in 1958, when the proposal to build the sidewalk was approved. Today the sidewalk contains more than 2,300 stars.
