THE SABRINA SCRAPBOOK

Do YOU have any Sabrina stuff?


If you see this icon V.I.P. users only! click it to see the extra-large image - if you are a BOOBS contributor .

If this page took a long time to download, I apologise, but I think you'll consider it worthwhile. This batch of 101 pictures come from a fan's scrapbook bought from eBay. Hoping for one good pic, I hit the motherlode: there are many unique images, some of them quite mysterious.

You will have to forgive the quality of some of the scans, but most of the images were glued to heavy board as collages. Trying to isolate single images was a trial, and the cardboard pages were too big to fit into the scanner so the images sometimes had to be scanned in parts and stitched together in photoshop.

Some pictures have been moved to themed picture pages e.g. The Askey picture page .

Since these pictures have no connection to each other apart from their scrapbook source, it doesn't matter too much if they are flung to other, more fitting, places.

A lovely pic of our Sabby which scanned well because it was a postcard with a real photograph.

It constantly amazes me how different Sabrina can look from one picture to the next

A charming picture. One of my favourites.

Sabrina ogles an Oscar. Sadly, the Academy failed to recognise her acting genius in classics such as The House of Black Death .

I was trying to work out why Sabrina was wearing a bra on top of her dress, but I think it's just a rather fuzzy photo and an unfortunate dress design.

Sabrina - Norma Ann Sykes

A typical collage from the scrapbook. You can see how hard it was to isolate some of the images.

Now, what do you think is going on here? There's a man (probably Steve Cochran) with his arm around Sabby's shoulders, and part of her finger has been excised. Was the scrapbook maker jealously removing a ring from Sabby's finger? Hmmm!

Some of the later images in the scrapbook are very poor quality indeed.

Sabrina glasses

Sabrina as Dame Edna with specs, fur, gloves

Dig those specs. She's having a Dame Edna moment, apparently at the New Horticultural Hall in London, June 1959.

A caption reads:

Sabrina wearing these unusual 'Finger style' glasses this afternoon , visited the Grocery and Provisions Exhibition, at the New Horticultural Hall, London , England. 12 June 1958

Sabrina stares

Rome again, perhaps? Or Thoresby Hall?

And finally

Sabrina letter

Oooh - I could just scratch his eyes out!

Sabrina letter

My personal theory is that 'T.Burn' is the creator of the scrapbook in which this letter was found. If you're passing Broadhurst Gardens, could you pop in and ask? Ta!
