Kurt Russell Was Getting His Flirt On with Mary Kay Place in "Captain Ron". 

Every picture tells a story. The photos you will see in this collection are no different. These snapshots of life may be fun to look at, but the real thrill comes from the backstories of each photo and the tantalizing tidbits they reveal. As you scroll through these images, you will be reminded that the people of the past – from movie stars and singers to ordinary people who became celebrities by accident – lived very rich and very human lives, full of ups and downs, lucky breaks and bad choices.

In the 1992 adventure comedy, Captain Ron, Kurt Russell plays a quirky, one-eyed, laid-back, kinda shady, Caribbean boat captain that is hired by an uptight American family with comedian Martin Short as the worrywart husband. The wife, played by Mary Kay Place, had a thing for shirtless, one-eyed, pirate-like sea captains, as you can probably tell from this still shot from the film. That is, until they encounter real pirates. Critic at the time panned Captain Ron and wondered about the wisdom of casting Kurt Russell in the comedic role and Martin Short in the serious role, but fans didn’t seem to care.

The Queen of Rock ‘n Roll, Tina Turner has been a powerhouse since she made her record debut in 1958 and she’s not slowing down any time soon. Her career has had a few high points – like in the 1970s when she released songs like “Proud Mary”, “River Deep, Mountain High”, and “It’s Gonna Work Out Fine” as duets with Ike Turner and her comeback career in the 1980s with “What’s Love Got to Do with It,” “Private Dancer”, and “We Don’t Need Another Hero”. Through it all, Tina Turner has rocked her impressive legs that still look great even those the singer is pushing 83 years old. Did you know that Tina Turner’s legs are insured for $3.2 million?
