The Beatles Picture Thread
-
Hi Nancy, happened to find this info and wanted to share it... Walter Cronkite's daughter Kathy shared memories of meeting the Beatles, on the 50th Anniversary of their visit to America (she's the daughter on the left next to Paul in the first photo you posted) : (photo is from meetthebeatlesforreal,com) http://bigstory.ap.org/article/memories-beatles-us-television-debut :
CBS anchor Walter Cronkite scored tickets to the "Sullivan Show" for his teenage daughters Nancy and Kathy. "The Beatles were already huge, and huge to me -- monumental!" Kathy Cronkite says. "The idea of seeing them in person was like going to another planet. And when we got there we were screaming our heads off, so we couldn't hear the music. "Then, afterward, we got to meet them," she adds. "They were very nice. They put their arms around us for a picture, which was really fabulous. Ringo and I happened to be standing next to each other, and he was MY Beatle. So that was especially exciting." For Cronkite, a former actress who appeared in the classic film "Network" but is now a mental-health advocate, many of the details have vanished with the passage of time. "In the scope of the rest of my life, it has faded in significance somewhat," she says, but takes pains to emphasize, "I don't mean it wasn't important. At the time it was absolutely huge. And back then, when I was 13, I'm sure I thought it was the main thing that would EVER matter."

You're welcome! I'm sure at the time both girls were probably thinking "I'll never wash this shoulder again!"

If I was the older girl, I would have been thinking, "How can I discreetly slip Paul my phone number?"

The most powerful group in the world, at the time, huddle together at a tiny folding table. Can you picture the big superstars of today in such a modest setting?

Saw there are some great Beatles photos from the Feb 1964 DC concert at http://www.rowlandscherman.com/galleries/beatles-d-c-64 but each photo is so large, didn't want to take up so much space by posting them, and didn't know how to reduce them! Anyway, thought people would enjoy seeing them

Is there a story about that sign? Milly must have been gone somewhere and was missed or something
