That one photoshoot
ETA: OMG, I think I've gone and found even more from this shoot. New images under the second cut below
One of the fun parts of poking back through old promotional photos is finding all those random shots reused by different sources that clearly date back to the same photoshoot. One in particular which features the cast posing with three actresses working the Bond-girl vibe for all it's worth seems to have been an unusually productive day for the crew, given how many times I've seen some of these shots re-used around the web. Heck, most of them you've probably seen before.
Doesn't hurt that the first of these was one of my favourites already.
I just love Illya's "you see what I have to put up with?" expression in this one.
But then you start noticing those same three women turning up in other photos. One source for this picture even gives their names - from the left, Sharyn Hillyer (who you may recognise as 'Wanda' from S3), Arlene Charles and Victoria Carroll.
Two of the girls again, posing just with Napoleon.
Talk about pictures just begging for a caption!
None of the girls in this one, but there's that red smoke again, Illya in black suit and tie, Napoleon in black suit and striped tie - looks like yet another shot form the same shoot.
This one I actually didn't spot until someone pointed it out in a link to the colour version in the article below. Ties, check, Victoria Carroll, check, same necklace and dress, check, and yet more smoke - only this time Leo G. Carrol gets to join in too.
A few others I haven't been able to find without watermarks feature just David McCallum and Sharyn Hillyer.
Plus one last one where Sharyn is clearly done with all that swooning.
- Couldn't find a larger copy, but I'm 90% sure that's Waverly with the same three girls again.
Very obviously part of the same scene in colour above.
Less obvious, but Napoleon and Waverly are definitely in the same ties again.
Yet more posing in front of smoke.
Less sure, but the striped tie appear yet again.
I would not be at all surprised if this isn't even the complete set.
