Vintage and Retro Celeb Fakes (Stable Diffusion)

Jamie Lee Curtis (1983-1985)

Well, I failed - sorry. This has been my fifth, and probably my last attempt to make a model of her.

The problem seems to be that she has an unusually androgynous face. When captioning both real and faked images of her for the second training round, the BLIP captioning kept coming up with tags like '1boy'. And when using the model in Stable Diffusion itself, you have to constantly put negative male tags in, to stop SD from shrinking her breasts, or giving her a ripped body that is not in the training data.

Trouble is, Stable Diffusion has a very narrow idea of female attractiveness, and Curtis only ticks those boxes from the neck down. So frankly, the model is extremely difficult to use, compared to the others.

Though it uses the same three-times-trained technique as Carrie Fisher and Beverly D'Angelo models here, and though it really will do a lot of things on demand, reining back those male characteristics in prompts is pretty tiresome, and I could not be bothered to labor a long time over pure text-to-image stuff.

Anyway, for those interested, the 300MB LoRA is (alternative download ).

Many of the attached images are inpainting of existing images. It is what it is. Gotta move on.

Amazing work as always! Question: Which checkpoint do you use to achieve that 80's porn magazine look?

@Papyrus1000 I have to applaud you your efforts on Jamie-Lee. Always wanted to see her trimmed bush, now I have, or a sorts. Nice that whatever program you use it didn't morph her face, nips, hands, or paint her hair free; unlike most other AI efforts.

My negative comments previously are on a very different matter/level.

There are some celebs left that I have only DreamBooth versions of, or LoRAs that I am not happy with. Those remaining, unseen to this thread (and some entirely unpublished), are:

Ann Margret (DreamBooth done, very poor outcome)
Annette O'Toole (DreamBooth and LoRA done, inflexible quality)
Bernadette Peters (DreamBooth and LoRA done, inflexible quality)
Candy Davis (UK 1980s actress, very limited DreamBooth done)
Corinne Clery (not done at all yet)
Dana Gillespie (DreamBooth done, very limited)
Fiona Lewis (DreamBooth done, very limited)
Imogen Hassall (DreamBooth done, very limited)
Jane Warner (UK 1970s/80s topless model, not done at all)
Jenny Lee Wright (UK comic actress, 1970s, DreamBooth done, very limited)
Joan Collins (1977-78 era, DreamBooth done, very limited)
Linda Evans (DreamBooth and LoRA done, inflexible quality)
Lisa Marie (not Presley, Burton's ex; DreamBooth done, very limited)
Lulu (UK singer, effective but limited DreamBooth done)
Marilyn Cole (not done at all yet)
Mimi Rogers (not done at all yet)
Nicola Bryant (UK 'Doctor Who' actress, 1980s, DreamBooth done, very limited)
Pamela Stephenson (DreamBooth and LoRA done, inflexible quality)
Shirley Jones (DreamBooth and LoRA done, not that flexible)
Sigourney Weaver (final 'Alien' underwear scene, DreamBooth done, very limited)
Stella Stevens (DreamBooth done, very limited)
Tracy Dixon (UK model, not done at all yet)

I don't know if I'll ever get all these done, but I have no plans for a wider list. If SDXL ever gets better, I might consider new versions; but to be honest I think that every time Stable Diffusion gets updated, it gets more resistant to NSFW material, and for this reason the V1.5 versions may be the only ones I ever do, unless a new platform emerges, or unless some group develops a less NSFW-hostile training method.

Anyway, before that, I want to update some of the existing models to the new three-times-trained method that got good results for Slave Leia and Beverly D'Angelo, as well as (to a lesser extent) Jamie Lee Curtis. So for the time being I will be revising some of the existing ones that are already in this thread. The next 'new' one I plan to do, later, is Imogen Hassall.
Superb! Can’t wait to see Pamela Stephenson and Sigourney Weaver. Please keep up the outstanding work!

Good job but. Looks like some of eliva (Peterson ) photo shots.
You have to take what you can get when doing redheads. Finding someone with compatible hairstyle hair color and more or less the same body is very difficult with redheads, even though O'Toole has a very simple body type.

However there's no Cassandra Peterson used here, she's too voluptuous. The final model takes account of the nude screengrabs of O'Toole more than these intermediate pics, which are just to teach poses. The output I'm seeing now is suitably willowy. Model imminent.

@Papyrus1000 I saw that you're having problems with CivitAI's gallery censoring your images, why not just post the photos with a link to an external image host like imgur or imgbox for example?

Not sure I understand what you mean. I don't think they allow external hosts at Civit.ai. If they do, I certainly missed a trick.

You could post a link to an external album in the description of the model. I haven't found any restrictions to external image hosts on their terms of service. If you don't post any nude pictures of real people's models, I think you'll be fine. If there's any doubt about it, maybe one of the mods of civitai could shed a light on the matter.

Since I've decided not to revive the semi-failed or so-so quality DreamBooths of celebs that interest me a bit less, here are some pictures from those abandoned projects, just for anyone curious, and who might have wondered if the model was better than it actually was. They're mostly inpaints (but not the Sigourney Weaver ones).
