Well, of course the Film Stars of the day had a life outside of acting on screen – and many had hobbies that they enjoyed and which must have given them, relaxation.

We have a few quite well known film actors below just doing their own thing

Tony Curtis beating out a rhythm on the bongo drums ABOVE

Audie Murphy enjoys playing with his two sons Terry and James with their train set under the watchful eye of their Mother Pamela ABOVE

Golf addict Rock Hudson spends most of his time on the Golf Course – or on his way to it  – ABOVE

George Nader claims that he does this best of all – relaxing in the sun on the beach –  ABOVE

Jack Mahoney – of The Range Rider fame over here,  prefers fishing.    Here he casts a professional eye on the water –  ABOVE

Martha Hyer is an accomplished painter and apparently if she left acting could make a full time job of her other hobby – short story writing ABOVE I wouldn’t mind seeing and reading one of those stories.

Joanna Moore really can play the guitar and she can paint pictures like the one on the wall behind her. She is also musically talented – ABOVE

Swiss born Lilo Pulver seen here dropping in on Tony Curtis at the Universal International Studio – she has a medal for her horse riding skills – ABOVE

Ex Art Teacher – which I did not know – Jeff Chandler keeps his hand in.   Jeff found the switch from teacher to film actor gave him the chance to do as a hobby, what he had previously done as a job – ABOVE
