A Japanese Military Commander In Traditional Armor
Felice Beato took this photograph in 1863. The photographer colored it by hand in the first version! He preferred to shoot full-length portraits in the studio to concentrate on the traditional costumes and cultural traditions that he found fascinating. His photographs of Japan had vignetting around the edges, giving them a more painterly appearance. Koboto Santaro, a military commander, was the subject of this photograph. We don’t know what he’s holding in his hand, but we’d keep a safe distance from him!

Sally Field As Gidget
Sally Field got her big break in Gidget in 1965, playing a surfer girl who always got herself into trouble. She was 18 years old at the time. “After the first night of my workshop, a casting guy asked me if I had an agent. I didn’t, but I still went in for an interview. The waiting room was filled with girls who looked like movie stars. They all had professional head shots; the only pictures I had were wallet photos of me with my friends. At my screen test, I walked in and said, ‘Which one is the camera?’ The crew members were like, ‘Oh, boy.’ But the casting director said, ‘You’re it.’ God was looking out for me. He thought he’d throw me in the ocean and see if I could swim,” the actress narrated.
