To celebrate a century of Paramount pictures, the studio assembled 116 stars for this once in a lifetime photo taken by Art Streiber. Please click on the thumbnail below for a closer look at the select crew. [Glad to see Ernie Borgnine made it to the shoot before his appointment elsewhere]. More about this event at the link below...now if we could just get them to unearth those films from their first fifty years or so... http://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/201 ... sary-photo
Moira, it's good to see that some 'old timers' made it to the shoot, and yes, especially the beloved
Ernest Borgnine. Must admit that I don't know some of the newer 'stars'.
Love how Ali and Ryan are at the center. Scott Glenn still looks purty cute, and Harrison looks purty perky! I wonder how many of those fellas Jane Fonda dated?
It looks like some photos were taken at different times than others, and they were all eventually edited into the same background. I didn't see A.C. Lyles. Wonder why? I had heard he recently had some health issues. Jerry Lewis looked a lot healthier than the last photo I saw of him, and I am glad he was able to be included. Happy to see Ernest Borgnine was also there!
If everyone was assembed at the same time for that photo, I can't imagine all the logistics of arranging for everyone's schedule. It is lovely.

Some responses are already posted and quite a few people are offended by relative un-knowns being included such as Justin Bieber, and that Whiteley girl, and several others. I have to agree. It should take a blockbuster movie based on the actors performance, not the CGI methods used, to prove an actors worth. Granted in the 40's, and 50's, we didn't have blockbusters, but we didn't have salaries of millions of dollars right off the bat either. After growing up on screen from a little girl in Lassie Come Home, to signing to play the role of Cleopatra at a whopping first time ever million dollars - - that is star power. Not a little CD and hair that makes little pre-teenage girls swoon. Maybe I'm too hard but it seems to me, adulation should be earned by talent, not be how you look. That may be an added attraction to get you started, but that talent has to be there to keep you on top.
