A Japanese Military Commander In Traditional Armor
This photo was shot by Felice Beato in 1863. In the original iteration, the photographer hand-colored it! He liked to take full-length portraits in the studio so that he could focus on traditional costumes and cultural traditions that intrigued him. His photos about Japan came with vignetting at the borders that made them seem more painterly. The subject in this particular photo was Koboto Santaro, a military commander. We do not know what he has in his hand, but we would still keep our distance from him!

Sally Field As Gidget
In 1965, the gorgeous Sally Field got her big break by playing a surfer girl who always got into trouble in Gidget. At the time, she was 18 years old. “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.
