Klondike: The tradition of topless starlets at Cannes goes back over 50 years, when a famous shot of Robert Mitchum (himself somewhat of a Hollywood bad boy in earlier days - popped for dope back when many stories called it "marihuana"!) and then-pretty-much-unknown Simone Silva was posted 'round the world. Your guy, according to the linked Flickr page, photographed the same sort of thing in its halcyon days through its succumbing to political correctness. Most of the subjects, then, will be as much trivia items now as, say, Linda Hopkin: "Those Were the Days," my friend/we thought they'd never end/we'd sing and dance/ forever and a day...Enjoy 'em as pictures of women, if not as the celebs they probably never became.
