Tiny Madonna Louise Chiccone, in the arms of her mother Madonna Fortin and father Silvio 'Tony' Ciccone, 1958.
Madonna and Jean-Michel Basquiat, 1983. This was just after Madonna had just released her first record and right before her career went bananas, and Basquiat himself was on the sharp upslope of his own fame arc. Introducing her to gallery owner Larry Gagosian, he said of her: “She will be very, very famous one day.“
Wilt Chamberlain, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Andre the Giant on the set of Conan the Destroyer, 1983. Arnold isn't really that big of a guy (I ran into him on Venice Beach a few years back and was super like whoa about how small he seemed) but DAMN, son.
Stars, they're just like us: Robert Downey Jr. at the DMV. I like that he stands like a superhero for a headshot.
Robert Downey Jr., Anthony Michael Hall, David Lee Roth and Sonia Braga at the 1984 MTV VMAs after party. There are no words.
Raquel Welch in the make up room on the set of One Million Years BC, 1967.
Queen Elizabeth visits Belfast set Game of Thrones. Apparently she didn't sit on it, which is horseshit. I mean, you're the goddamn queen...that would be a legendary legacy shot.
Muhammad Ali skiing (well, sort of) at Mount Snow,Vermont, 1970.
Brian Hugh Warner aka Marilyn Manson and his dad Hugh Warner in full Marilyn makeup. In an interview tied to this photo shoot, Manson, mentioned that he may have gotten his love of theatricality from his dad. "The first time that I did see my dad in makeup was, ironically, the second concert I ever went to. He dressed as Gene Simmons and took me to the Kiss 'Dynasty' tour when I was 11. And people were asking my dad for his autograph."
Lucille Ball, early 1940s, when she was still blonde.
Leonard Nimoy and son Adam surfing in the early 70s. I love seeing dads dadding. Speaking of which...
Francis Ford Coppola with his mother Italia Coppola dressed as her son for some reason, on the set of The Godfather III, 1973. All other information about this photo seems to be lost to history, which is pretty great really.
Chuck Norris, kicking a skateboard in the face with his hands.
Would you believe this is a very young Robert DeNiro? Adorable.

A very young Drew Barrymore alone at a party with the weight of the world on her small shoulders, 1983.
Marilyn Monroe enjoying a coke while Jane Russell checks her makeup during a break on the set of Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, 1953.
Stunt coordinator Jonathan Pendragon with John Belushi and Hunter S. Thompson. From JP: "I was stunt coordinator on Continental Divide, credited under the name I used as a stunt man, 'Jonathan Yarbrough.' This picture was taken on location in Colorado, and later we went to Hunter’s house and blew up beer bottles with a Thompson submachine gun — not an experience you tend to forget!"
Madeline Kahn, 1967, age 25. Drop dead bombshell.
Jesus, can you even with this goddamn pic? Angelica Huston and Liza Minelli, 1975.

Arnold was far from small while he was a bodybuilder, of course he's going to be smaller when he's in 60's.. Great post once again though!
RandalDoggie
Lucille Ball had a radio show during the war. When that new fangled television thing came around the networks figured radio stars would be
RandalDoggie
the best choice, so they grabbed Lucy and gave her a series.

Raquel Welch was a timeless beauty!

Angelica Huston and Liza Minelli look like any old biker chicks from the time... How, just how?
Wellhereiamagain
Even Lucille 2 had a past...
plainwhitesarah
Before the vertigo took hold.
Rusarules
Is it weird I think of Arnold's portrayal of Conan to be the stereotypical way I think all barbarians should look like?
avastmehearty
Well he looks like Frank Frazetta painted Conan, probably intentionally

Why is Marilyn Manson’s father not called Marilyn Mandad?

It's actually illegal for the Queen to sit on any throne but the Throne of Great Britain, even for fun...

I'm sure she did more dignified work, but she'll always be sexy Captain Nirvana to me.

Goooood Gaaawwwwddd!!!

Tim Currey looked like he’d be lots of fun... 10/10 would.

Brad and Janet did.

SAME.

Madeline Khan makes my junk wiggle.

As a wee kid myself, I saw Chuck Norris in a number of PKA matches. Little did I know.

Madonna back when she wasn't publicly known as a moron.

Also before she affected a British accent...

And all the plastic surgery. Seen here on 10/17 in front of a painting JMB did after they broke up.

Drew just finished reading the Firestarter script & was thinking, "what a POS this is gonna be; I gotta get my agent to get me out of this."
IreallywantmynametobeSpaghetti
I'm reading that book now.

No, she was wondering why her coke dealer hadn’t showed up yet.

'I'm going to need a lot of drugs to get through this movie shoot.' - Drew Barrymore, age 9
b0rb0rigmus
Based on the T-shirt alone, I'm going to have to call bullshit on the Robert DeNiro pic. He'd be in his 20's at least by then.
b0rb0rigmus
But otherwise, I love these collections thanks OP!
BrainTaffy
He was age 7, it was 1950. That image was provided by the family for an HBO doc about his dad RDN senior. No bullshit I promise. :)
danishjuggler21
Just a reminder, Arnold is 6’2”. I wouldn’t exactly call him “a small guy”
tumppu
Well, majority of mankind will appear small next to those two.
thereverseapachemaster
He is absolutely 5'8"
Flyndaran
That's not his real height anymore than Andres' was over 7'. Those were their hyped stats.
thesmokingman
Wilt is 7' so Andre must be close. Arnie is normal man height. For kicks, check arnoldheight.com

Oh Madeline....

Beautiful and talented. I think I would have fallen in love with her in about a minute and a half after meeting her...

DMGuy
I've always loved her comedy, but that's the first time I've seen how gorgeous she was, probably because she didn't have 70s/80s hair yet.
BrainTaffy
Them glasses don't hurt. *MROWR*
Deliriumbyem
My dad still has his longboard, the same Chuck Norris is on.
BrainTaffy
Awesome! Does he still skate?
Deliriumbyem
Yes, but mostly surf. My sister skates too, broke her arm on that board.
Deliriumbyem
Yes, mostly surfs but every now and then I catch him cruising the neighborhood on his board. Cigar in hand.
sickburn
Curtis Armstrong tells a funny story of filming One Crazy Summer where he went out to dinner with John Cusack, Demi Moore, Bobcat...
sickburn
but because of Revenge of the Nerds, he was 10X more famous than any of them. Only a few years later nobody would give a shit about Booger..
sickburn
standing next to Demi Moore.

That picture of Drew makes me sad for some reason. I hope she had a good childhood.
OutrageousHemmorhoid
Umm, she probably looks down because her dealer hasn’t arrived with her coke yet. She really needed more parental guidance, the poor thing.
IamJustinSane
She did her first stint in rehab at age 12, for cocaine addiction.
StannisBaratheonEnglishGrammarian
I'm willing to bet that she was drunk in that picture.
WellWellWellLookWhoItIs
You've got a lot of catching up to do.
FlamingYon
When I saw that photo, I honestly wondered if she might be under the influence of something. It's very sad. :(
Nicalanius
You may want to sit down...

Muttttss
I snorted
Table5
So did she.
ihatesociology
Ah shit
BrainTaffy
Yeah no. She'll be the first to say it was magical and terrible. Acting at 11 months, clubbing every night by age 9, drinking & doing drugs
BrainTaffy
dating adult men by 10. Institutionalized by 13, emancipated by 15, living on her own. Struggled with addiction and depression off and on.
J0765
Pretty sure in that photo she was already doing drugs.
SnarkySophia
It's really absolutely amazing that she didn't completely burn out and fade. Idk how stable, but to endure that childhood...
CurtGoBang
Didn't she kind of burn it and fade? After childhood she didn't really get relevant again until her little part in SCREAM, no?
SnarkySophia
She certainly had a hard low but considering her childhood she's basically the RDJ of child abuse.
ihatesociology
That was actually a big part. They hired someone well known so it would be a surprise they got killed off.
MeezerStandardTime
Yeah, the adults in her life really failed her. I have not idea how she is nowadays, but hopefully better.
BrainTaffy
Yeah...Her mom was the one taking her out to nightclubs every night, when she was 9.
pelusita35
Watch Santa Clarita Diet. She is totally lovable!!!!
bigcheezefartz
Love that show!
pelusita35
It's awesome. Just not during dinner.

Love Bobby D's little Syracuse shirt.
becausebugeye
I feel like I remember learning he was from there. Heard it while still living there and after I moved away. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Buy1Get1Free
Born in and spent most of his early life in Manhattan/Little Italy. Couldn't find any references that he ever lived in Syracuse.
Byronicman1
His family is from here in Syracuse. My mom used to take care of his aunt.
becausebugeye
Glad you cleared that up. Sounds right now that you say that. My mom was always into local history of Syr and surrounding cities.
