These Photos of Celebrities In Palm Springs Are the Definition of Throwbacks

Palm Springs is widely known as the playground to the stars. The beautiful desert oasis, located in the Coachella Valley of Southern California, is surrounded by picturesque mountains and filled with gorgeous mid-century modern architecture. As these vintage photos of celebrities in Palm Springs reveal, the town has long been the place where actors, musicians, and athletes went to enjoy leisurely activities – from hitting a few balls at the golf course to taking a dip in the pool or just catching some sun in the backyard. The relaxing setting of Palm Springs is less than a two-hour drive from the hustle and bustle of Hollywood – and only a 45-minute plane ride – so the commute is short enough for a quick weekend getaway, but still just far enough away to escape the prying eyes of the camera. Here's a little peek at how vintage stars enjoyed their time off.
