From the Aug. 1,1955 SPEAKING OF PICTURES — HEAD OVER HEELS IN LOVE. According to LIFE, “The things a man will do to woo a woman are just about unlimited. But nobody is known to hold tried courtship by acrobatics before film Actor Russ Tamblyn began to woo 17-year-conventional Venetia Stevenson in Hollywood. Russ, and who was 1952 collegiate state tumbling champion and did acrobatic dancing in the film ‘Seven Brides for Seven Brothers,’ is bombarded with requests to do somersaults and hand-stands. To oblige the public and amuse his girl, whom he dates on a regular basis, or Russ demonstrates here the feelings of an acrobat head-over-heels in love.” (Allan Grant—The LIFE Picture Collection/Getty Images) #LIFElegends #tbt
