A thrift store in Mortsel, Belgium, stumbled upon a remarkable discovery when they found a photo album filled with personal pictures and memories, accidentally donated by someone. The album contained portraits of a woman with several renowned celebrities from the 90s, making it an intriguing find.
Despite recognizing some of the famous personalities, the woman’s identity remained a mystery until her name was discovered on a badge in one of the photographs. The woman was identified as Maria Snoeys-Lagler, a former member of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA), an organization of journalists and photographers reporting on the entertainment industry.

The thrift store contacted national TV stations to help locate Maria’s family, and they managed to reach her daughter in California. Unfortunately, Maria passed away in 2016 at the age of 87. Nonetheless, the store has made arrangements to return the album to her daughter.
The album contains remarkable photos of Maria with various celebrities, which are truly captivating. It’s incredible to think that such a valuable collection of memories could end up in a thrift store by accident.
