Rare Vintage Photos of Iconic Women of the 1960s

Debra Paget was a striking screen presence who bridged classic Hollywood into the early 1960s. She appeared in films like The Ten Commandments and Elvis Presley’s Love Me Tender, becoming closely associated with exotic roles, intense beauty, and dramatic flair. Her wide eyes and dark hair made her instantly recognizable.

Her life took a dramatic turn away from Hollywood. Debra famously dated Elvis Presley, who reportedly wanted to marry her, but she chose a different path. She left acting young, embraced religion, and stepped out of the spotlight entirely, becoming one of Hollywood’s great what-if stories.
