Someone Finds A Photo Album Full Of Pictures Of A Grandma Posing With Hollywood Celebrities And It’s A Real Blast From The Past

Opnieuw & Co, a thrift store located in Mortsel, Belgium, recently shared an interesting finding on their Facebook account. Among the various things donated to their store, they’ve discovered a photo album full of photos of a woman posing with various Hollywood celebrities in the 90s. People were eager to find out who this mysterious lady was and someone actually recognized her! Turns out the woman was Maria Snoeys-Lagler, a former member of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA), an organization of journalists and photographers reporting on the entertainment industry.

In an interview with Bored Panda, a spokesperson of Opnieuw & Co said that the store has no idea how the album got to them. “We are a thrift store and we rely on donations to fund our social workplace (we provide refugees and people who can’t find a job with work). That means someone probably dropped it off at one of our shops in a box full of other stuff as well,” said the spokesman.

An employee of the thrift store browsed the album and figured that it’s probably not something hat someone would get rid of voluntarily. “We figured out the lady’s name through her press badge in one of the photos,” said the spokesman. “Then, one of our country’s national TV stations used their contacts and located her daughter in California. Nobody has any idea how the album ended up here.”

Turns out Maria had died back in 2016 after being a Hollywood until the age of 87. Opnieuw & Co has contacted Maria’s daughter and will return the album to her.
