Following on from my post about on-screen couples of the Golden Age of Cinema, I couldn’t resist looking around for some real life romance. These photos were all taken during between the 1910s and 1970s and are less glamorous but far more sincere!
Without reading the captions, can you tell which of these photos is the fake kiss amongst all the genuine ones?

Rowell and E.G. Rowell, Jr. Rowell senior served in the Army Air Corp in World War One and then became very involved in gliding in the Southern California Area. Rowell jr. served in the Navy during the Second World War.
Ah well, I suppose it could have been a real kiss, but I figure the photo of the actors from the 1943 stage play are stage kissing. Not only are they acting (presumably) but it just doesn’t have the intensity of the other photos I think!

So which one is the fake kiss? Although, I’m not so sure there is ever such a thing… 🙂
