The Flintstones - Flintstones001aa.jpg

The Flintstones is an animated television sitcom that ran from 1960 to 1966 on ABC. The series was the first prime-time animated series aimed at adults. It is set in the town of Bedrock (in some of the earlier episodes, it was also referred to as Rockville.) in the Stone Age era. The main characters were Frederick Joseph ‘Fred’ Flintstone, Wilma Pebble Slaghoople Flintstone (nee Pebble or Slaghoople), Pebbles Flintstone, Dino (pet dinosaur who barks like a puppy) and Baby Puss (pet sabre tooth cat); Barney Rubble, Betty Rubble (Elizabeth Jean nee McBricker), Bamm-Bamm Rubble (their adopted son) and Hoppy (pet Hopparoo); Mr Slate (Fred's boss at the stone quarry) and Arnold (the paper boy). Following the show's cancellation in 1966, a film based upon the series was created. 'The Man Called Flintstone' was a musical spy caper which parodied James Bond and other secret agents. The movie was released in August 1966 by Columbia Pictures.

1972 Tomoko - 1972Tomoko.jpg

Minamata disease, a neurological syndrome caused by severe mercury poisoning, was first discovered in that Japanese city in 1956. Caused by the release of methyl mercury in the industrial wastewater from the Chisso Corporation's chemical factory from 1932 to 1968, the disease claimed thousands of lives surreptitiously while the government and company did little to prevent the pollution. It was a dramatic photographic essay by W Eugene Smith which brought world attention to Minamata disease. The above photo, the most striking photo of the essay shows Ryoko Uemura holding her severely deformed daughter, Tomoko, in a Japanese bath chamber. Tomoko was poisoned while still in the womb. Although it was posed for Smith, the family subsequently asked the photo to be withdrawn from circulation. The picture does not appear in recent anthologies of Smith's works. For his expose, Smith was attacked and seriously injured by Chisso employees; leaving him with a permanently damaged eye and a crippled health. The photos, however, led the government to take more direct actions and the company to pay compensation to 2,500 people. Tomoko died in 1977 at the age of 21.

1960 Veruschka - 1960Veruschka.jpg

Before there was Cindy Crawford, Twiggy or Naomi Campbell, the German Countess Veruschka reigned supreme in the world of modelling. The 60s-era German icon began her career at the Ford Modelling Agency and became a muse for famed fashion photographers like Irving Penn and Richard Avedon. She was on the cover of LIFE magazine, worked for Yves Saint Laurent, dated Warren Beatty, worked with Salvador Dali and her five minute cameo in 1966 cult classic 'Blowup' (by Michelangelo Antonioni) was considered the sexiest scene in film history, although there was no nudity. At her peak, she earned as much as $10,000 a day. The six feet one inch tall model's most famous work came after she paired up with Peter Beard who took her to Kenya. There she painted herself with black shoe polish to resemble surreal plants and animals in an attempt to 'go native'. That body paint would remain her style for the rest of her career. In 1985, she entered the art world, putting on a body-painting show in Tribeca; on her naked body, she was painted with different outfits transforming her into wild animals and several archetypes, such as film stars, dandies, gangsters, and dirty old men. In 1975 she retired from the fashion industry after disagreements with Grace Mirabella, the new editor-in-chief of Vogue, who wanted to change her image to make it more approachable to average women. She remained away from the public eyes until 2008, when she resurfaced to market her book, succinctly titled Veruschka.

1954 Albert Schweitzer - 1954AlbertSchweitzer.jpg

The recipient of 1952 Nobel Peace Prize in 1953 was German doctor Albert Schweitzer (1875-1965) who was also a theologian, musician and philosopher. Although the Peace Prize was given for his philosophy of ‘Reverence for Life’, it was also given for the founding and sustaining the Albert Schweitzer Hospital in Lambarene, in Gabon, French Equatorial Africa. The next year, journalists and photographers flocked to Lambarene. W Eugene Smith (the father of the photo-essay) was among them. In the photo-essay ‘A Man of Mercy’ (later published in LIFE magazine), he documented Dr Schweitzer, his hospice, and his humanitarian work in French Equatorial Africa. A perfectionist, and darkroom master, Smith spent up to five days developing and manipulating Schweitzer photographs.

1941 Rita Hayworth

1941 Rita Hayworth - 1941RitaHayworth.jpg

In the summer of 1941, just a few months before Pearl Harbour was attacked, LIFE magazine ran a black-and-white photograph of an up-and-coming movie actress named Rita Hayworth. The red-headed beauty was kneeling on a bed made up with satin sheets. Her silky nightgown is white, with black lace trimming the low-cut top. She’s smiling slightly for photographer Bob Landry. Landry took many photos of Hayworth, but his favourite was an accidental one - his flash was too bright and this is reflected in the black silhouette reflected at Hayworth’s back. The sexy lace nightie was either made by the press agent’s mother or came from Columbia Pictures’ prop department. One rumour has it that someone told Hayworth to take a deep breath before the famous shot, making the image even more provocative. The snapshot would become one of the most popular pin-ups of World War II, but LIFE refused to put it on its cover, saying it was too risque. By the end of the war, more than 5 million copies of this photo were sold. Only Betty Grable sold more pin-ups. The US Navy named her ‘The Red-Head We Would Most Like to be Ship-Wrecked with’. A shy girl in her private life, she never enjoyed being a sex goddess. However, she took part in USO shows for the enlisted men; her then boyfriend, and soon to be husband, Orson Welles sawed her in half for his magic show. Alluding to her bombshell status, in 1946, her likeness was placed on the first nuclear bomb to be tested at the Bikini Atolls.

1938 Heston Aerodrome - 1938HestonAerodrome.jpg

At Heston Aerodome on 30th September 1938, Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain had just came returned from Munich and holds up the Anglo-German Non-Aggression Declaration. This Munich Agreement gave the Sudetenland of Czechoslovakia to Adolf Hitler in an attempt to satisfy his desire for Lebensraum or ‘living space’ for Germany. Now in retrospect, the settlement was a misguided appeasement, but back then, a war-weary populace embraced Chamberlain’s statesmanship. He gave a speech on the airfield. Waves and cheers encouraged Chamberlain to make a much more daring speech from 10 Downing Street. He read the agreement again, but this time added ‘My good friends, for the second time in our history, a British Prime Minister has returned from Germany bringing peace with honour. I believe it is peace for our time … Go home and get a nice quiet sleep.’ The next day, the German occupation of Sudetenland began and the world entered the downward spiral into WWII.
