Back in its first incarnation and before it went under in the more egalitarian New Deal era, Vanity Fair was just as fashionable as it is today, sporting a jaunty ethos of mixing, matching, and homogenizing popular personalities from different classes, races, and sexes – as long as they were brilliant, beautiful, rich, or talented. In the early 1930s, it featured a number of “Impossible Interviews”, imaginary pairings of such unlikely duos as Greta Garbo and Calvin Coolidge, reproduced below, all extravagantly illustrated by Miguel Covarrubias.
