Social media has made it super easy to access photos of our favorite celebrities at home, on set, or during behind-the-scenes moments. However, it wasn't always this way. There was a time when people yearned for a glimpse into the lives of their favorite stars and celebrities, but their opportunities were limited to a handful of magazine pictures or an occasional television interview.

This gallery contains rare pictures from the past that depict scenes from celebrities' lives only a few people have ever seen. We think you'll love these.
