Those at the premiere were Lionel Barrymore, Jean Hersholt, Wallace Beery, Louis B. Mayer, Lewis Stone, Anita Page, Marlene Dietrich, Anna Q. Nilsson, Jean Harlow, William "Billy" Haines, Joan Crawford, Douglas Fairbanks Jr., Constance Bennett, Norma Shearer, Clark Gable, and more!!! So many stars. I saw this on youtube here in lower quality so decided to share this! :)
I wonder if Mae West was in attendance? I know she wasn’t in the film but I’d assume this was a pretty big night and she was at her prime and would show up! ❤
Class? They were all abusive, drunk and drugged. Lets not romanticize the past, we can appreciate them for their talent, glamour and art but Hollywood is just as shady now as it was before.
Fun to watch! Joan seemed nervous, holding onto the back of her skirt. I wonder if she had a wardrobe malfunction? So many stars!! Jean Harlow!! Marlene Dietrich! Gable! Wow! Thanks very much.
Joan’s FIRST role where she had gotten her look right, her style right and she turned in a fabulous performance where she was really noticed and up up her career went!!!
When Joan Crawford visited Buenos Aires in 1960 she was asked by Jack Korn (local journalist) what she thought about Greta Garbo, she answered that she did not get the chance to talk to her as Garbo's performances were done whilst the rest of the cast were not present. Yet Crawford mentioned that she got one brief glimpse of the great Swedish actress and thought that she was the most strikingly beautiful woman she ever saw.
Oh my gosh!!! Thank you for posting this! This clip brought so much joy to my heart! I have loved MGM for more than 50 years. To see Louis B. speaking was so interesting. To see Harlow with Paul Bern was eery (as we know what's coming later). An era that's never coming back...so lovely to see and hear those who lived it. This was great fun and truly moving to watch. Thank you!! 💗💗💗
These old movie stars, directors, etc. we’re GRATEFUL they could make such a good living doing this. They were not whining about how hard it was to be famous!!
Oh My God, Crawford was so beautiful and glamour! I think in 33 she was at peak of her beauty, I think she was working on Today we Live when she attended the premier. Interesting Garbo was not at the event
Now thats what you called going to Oscars.the women stars were so elegant graceful and those clothes were not like whats worn today They were absoluety beautiful. Oscars in the 20s+ 30s where a thing everyone looked foward to .Its now 80 years later and most of these stars are gone but not forgotten.Their movies are still played and the acting like ( GONE WITH THE WIND) (REBECCA WITH MY FAVOURITE ACTOR OF ALL TIME( LAURANCE OLIVIER )👏 ( CASTLE BLANCA) AND OTHERS SO GREAT WITH GREAT TALENT AS THE DANCERS MY (FAVOURITE OF COURSE👉 (FRED ASTAIR )👏AND THE WAY VINCENT MINNELLI BOUGHT BEAUTY INTO THOSE COSTUMES AND THOSE DANCE MOVES WITH CAMERAS HIGH UP LOOKING AT THE MAGIC OF HIS IDEAS OF SUCH ELEGANCE WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTON.

You won't not believe but a year ago the nass channel uploaded an amateur video IN COLOR from grand hotel premier . At some point you can even see some Joan Crawford posters on the wall . And when I say amateur I mean that there was someone on the roof filming the cars arriving and People standing and waiting for actors.
Back when Hollywood was Hollywood and its stars were stars, and movies were worthy of the hype. Jean Harlow was said to have quipped "Do we need luggage?" but it isn't here.
Interesting that Irving Thalberg didn’t come up to the podium. It appears that Clark Gable is Norma’s date but I can see Irving. I wonder why the announcer didn’t mention his name.
It is on display at the Hollywood Heritage Museum until June 9th. “Jean Harlow Essential” on Instagram is the current owner. They posted a picture of it recently. Wish I could share here
wow covered by newsreel and NBC radio..reporting live I imagine .... what a night ....the movie is not bad either .. I wonder where the big book they are signing ended up?
Joan Crawford was classy, beautiful, and HUMBLE. That is something Bette Davis was not-- humble. Bette was the actress, Joan the star (of course Joan was a phenomenal actress though, too). This video proves how awful Hollywood has become. They had their problems and tragedies, too. But the way all these stars carried themselves was glorious.
One time Joan invited Garbo over to her house. When she got there, there were lots of cars parked outside as Joan’s neighbour Barbara Stanwyck was having a party. Garbo got scared because she thought Joan was having a party and left a note on the front porch. I think she had bad anxiety, but definitely one of the greats.
As Quentin Crisp said of her: "She was a star even to other stars and I think she did it deliberately. She cultivated her remoteness, keeping her face so still that it became an icon on which everybody in the world could plant their dreams." That was her secret I think. Because nobody knew her, it left a huge gap for people to project their own fantasies onto her. It's a natural human tendency - when people are mysterious to us, we start projecting things onto them.

Where’s Garbo?
How low Hollywood has fallen; once it was a wonderland of talent and class.
So agree, nothing like this anymore.
*Idk if I would use the word “class” to ever describe Hollywood but their talent was amazing.*
Class? They were all abusive, drunk and drugged. Lets not romanticize the past, we can appreciate them for their talent, glamour and art but Hollywood is just as shady now as it was before.
. Being under contract studios protected their star’s reputations and a young actors talents were nurtured by their studio bosses.
At least someone found this video! 😅
Fun to watch! Joan seemed nervous, holding onto the back of her skirt. I wonder if she had a wardrobe malfunction? So many stars!! Jean Harlow!! Marlene Dietrich! Gable! Wow!
Thanks very much.
She suffered anxiety in crowds... well documented
@@lynntownsend4457 If you say so.
@@lynntownsend4457no anxiety when it comes to screwing; her next best specialty after being a movie actress.
All I can say is GABLE!!!! what a Hunk!! I noticed the crowd got excited when he showed up!!
I wonder whatever happened to the hotel register? What a wonderful piece of Hollywood history to see.
I recall seeing it at the former Max Factor Museum in L.A. I think it may be transferred to the Hollywood Museum that is there now.
@@lettylynton1932correct, it is at the Hollywood Heritage Museum right now. Jean Harlow Essential on instagram said he is the current owner. 😊

Letty lynton is where she really established her look
Norma was a bit more talkative that Joan was. All of them were so elegant. Thank you for posting this!
Joan suffered from anxiety especially in crowds per Fairbanks
Joan was so very gorgeous
Love her speaking voice! ❤
@@tula1433 As do I
Yes, she certainly was.
Funny how the MC could barely coax a few words out of Joan Crawford, yet her studio nemesis, Norma Shearer, wouldn't shut up.
THIS is the epitome of what Hollywood was. Marvelous piece
thanks, need to escape this world for a while....love this film
Before internet before cell phones..I’m a kid from the 50’s….I miss this ❤
Thank you for sharing this fantastic piece of film history....
so beautiful of Jean Harlow that movie Red-Headed Woman are very very good . Thank you Kind 💋💖
Sorry Garbo but Crawford stole the scene in this one. Wonderful Flaemchen (can’t spell it)

She was still beautiful past Mildred Pierce but she took a turn in the fifties but bounced back in the 60's...she lightened her lipstick

Wow, I will have to take a look!!
Thanks again🙏🏻♥️🙏🏻.
One of my favorite movies!
Most people don't realize, but the motion picture business was a product to sell and make money, just like any product. It still holds true today.
Wow that’s so insightful of you.
@@jaengenikr, wrote a bunch of nothings.
Nooooo really? Never imagine uauuu This is some news
@@jaengen I know 🙂🙂
@@ernakruger1112 Isn't it??
When Hollywood had class.
Premieres were wonderful affairs back then
Back when Hollywood was Hollywood and its stars were stars, and movies were worthy of the hype. Jean Harlow was said to have quipped "Do we need luggage?" but it isn't here.
Stars back then NEVER EVER mouthed off about politics, and it was nothing, but class!!
Yep now we even have washed up quarterbacks like Aaron Rodgers mouthing off.
Class??? It was a grossly sleazy and exploitative place.
The most elegant and beautiful women ever: Marlene Dietrich
Interesting that Irving Thalberg didn’t come up to the podium. It appears that Clark Gable is Norma’s date but I can see Irving. I wonder why the announcer didn’t mention his name.
I wonder where that book is now ?
It is on display at the Hollywood Heritage Museum until June 9th. “Jean Harlow Essential” on Instagram is the current owner. They posted a picture of it recently. Wish I could share here
wow
covered by newsreel and NBC radio..reporting live I imagine .... what a night ....the movie is not bad either .. I wonder where the big book they are signing ended up?
Curious as to where that book ended up
Considering what it was for and the signatures it has, it must be worth some money.
Another Garbo no-show! At least she's consistent.
Joan Crawford was classy, beautiful, and HUMBLE. That is something Bette Davis was not-- humble. Bette was the actress, Joan the star (of course Joan was a phenomenal actress though, too).
This video proves how awful Hollywood has become. They had their problems and tragedies, too. But the way all these stars carried themselves was glorious.
Where is Garbo?
She later appeared. In drag, in the form of Wallace Beery dressed like Garbo.
One time Joan invited Garbo over to her house. When she got there, there were lots of cars parked outside as Joan’s neighbour Barbara Stanwyck was having a party. Garbo got scared because she thought Joan was having a party and left a note on the front porch. I think she had bad anxiety, but definitely one of the greats.
She wanted to be alone.....so she stayed home.....
@@lemonhead162she saw the filth and decadence of Hollywood, and decided she wasn’t going to be a part of that!
Where's Jack? Where's Greta?
Garbo NEVER did publicity of any kind. She was MGM and did as she pleased.
Where was John Barrymore?
Amazing Resolution. I guess Garbo was a no show. It's American history.❤ What became of the Registry?😮
It is on display at the Hollywood Heritage Museum until June 9th
Where is the book they signed for this premiere. No Garbo of course. The Golden Age of early 30’s Hollywood.
However it was always an illusion.
Does Garbo care, she couldn't even be bothered to show up❓
She never did. That was part of her legend. Remote and untouchable, even other film stars thought she was something of a goddess
@@th8257star among the stars.
Could someone please explain to me what was so wonderful about Greta Garbo? Seriously. I just don’t get it.
I agree.
As Quentin Crisp said of her: "She was a star even to other stars and I think she did it deliberately. She cultivated her remoteness, keeping her face so still that it became an icon on which everybody in the world could plant their dreams."
That was her secret I think. Because nobody knew her, it left a huge gap for people to project their own fantasies onto her. It's a natural human tendency - when people are mysterious to us, we start projecting things onto them.
