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.

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.

Umm, she probably looks down because her dealer hasn’t arrived with her coke yet. She really needed more parental guidance, the poor thing.
