Rare Photos Of The 80s Hollywood Nightlife Will Give You A New Perspective On Your Favorite Celebs

The 80s were a colorful time, but sometimes it looks the best when you see it in black and white. Seeing these celebrities at all of their cool parties helps you get to see a side of them they aren't used to showing.

They aren't red-carpet ready, poised with interview bullet points conversation topics and interesting anecdotes. Instead these pictures feel real and much more honest. They are just having a fun time with their friends and are a little bit more willing to let go and allow the photographer to capture what it was really like.

Stephen Jerrome was there for a lot of huge events, and his collection of photographs called "Hollywood: Uptown & Underground" shows off just how different these stars were behind-the-scenes.

Anjelica Huston and Jack Nicholson

These two were at an art opening in Beverly Hills.

Drew Barrymore and Balthazar Getty

"Balthazar Getty and Drew Barrymore at a private party to celebrate the publishing of photographer Greg Gorman's first book," Jerrome said of the candid shot.

Even Princess Leia herself got in on the action. This was taken at an event for the movie Down And Out.

Madonna

The pop star was playing hide and seek with the photographer at an event for Herb Ritts.
