Color-magnitude diagrams are presented for four very rich clusters of the Large Magellanic Cloud. Comparisons with theoretical color-magnitude diagrams show good agreement in the location and distribution of stars in the giant regions. All four have nearly identical ages of approximately 50 million years. Each cluster has at least one anomalously luminous giant of intermediate color and magnitude of about -5.7, over a magnitude brighter than both the observed and predicted giant branch.
