A Blast From The Past: Vintage Photos From The 1960s
From Woodstock and the bombshells of Hollywood to the Vietnam War and the Civil Rights Movement, the 1960s were filled with historical events and people. Although not everyone knew it at the time, the decade marked a time of growth in not only the United States but the world.
Take a seat and get ready to scroll through some important, memorable, and momentous moments in the 1960s that were forever frozen in time.
Batman Became Live-Action
The 1960s brought to the small screen something extraordinary, a live-action comic book adaptation of Batman. Starring Adam West as Bruce Wayne-Batman and Burt Ward as Dick Grayson/Robin, the series was very popular.
Known for its campy style, simplistic morality, and upbeat music and fight scenes, it was the only situation comedy on television at the time to not rely on a laugh track, a huge feat considering people were still interested in watching the superhero show.
Robyn Hilton Went From Small Town Girl To "Blonde Bombshell"
Born in the small town of Twin Falls, Idaho, Robyn Hilton went from being the town's weathergirl to pursuing bigger and better things. Before appearing as a guest on The Tonight Show, Starring Johnny Carson, Hilton starred alongside Mel Gibson in Blazing Saddles, and she even posed for Playboy.
Ironically, it's not the magazine or films that captivated people. Many believe her looks are behind the phrase "blonde bombshell," a term that started after her time on Johnny Carson.
Girls Cruisin' Around In A Simca 1000 Coupe
The 1000 Simca coupe was mass-produced between 1962 and 1971. The rear-engined two-door coupe was then upgraded in 1967, with the radiator being moved from the back of the car to the front, allowing for better weight distribution even though the engine remained in the back of the car.
The style was wildly admired by the young folk due to its "race car" look and feel. These two girls are obviously enjoying the car!
Peter Fonda On The Set Of Easy Rider
In 1969, a "touchstone for a generation" was released, Easy Rider. Starring Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper, the road drama is known as one of the greatest in American cinema, exploring social landscapes, tensions, and issues in the US during the 60s.
When broken down, the film is probably one of the more realistic exposes on life in America during the social shifts of the '60s. It was ahead of its time!
The Crowd At Woodstock
From August 15 -18, 1969, young people across the United States flocked to Bethel, New York, for what is now known as one, if not the, most pivotal moments in music history.
Three days of peace, love, and music, the festival had musical talents such as Jimi Hendrix, The Grateful Dead, and Santana performing on stage. With more than 400,000 people gathered on a dairy farm, the festival has become known as one of the biggest cultural movements of the generation.
Pippi Longstocking Went To The Silver Screen
Based on the Astrid Lindgren children's novels of the same name, the character of Pippi Longstocking made her way to the silver screen in 1969. A super-strong kid with bright red pigtails, Pippi was the character of a generation.
Starring Inger Nilsson in the title role on Pippi Longstocking, audiences watch as she and her friends, a monkey called Mr. Nilsson and her horse Little Old Man, turn her new town upside down.
Chantal Goya Taking A Break From Singing
Here, French singer, Chantal Goya is seen taking some time for herself away from the studio. But when she wasn't riding a bike around town, Goya could be seen recording her unique hybrid style of mid-'60s girl-group pop and French chanson.
Along with her singing career, Goya was also a French New Wave actress, starring on the silver screen in films such as Masculin, féminin, and L'amour c'est gai, l'amour c'est triste.
Birgitta Lindman Helping A Showgirl Get Ready For The Stage
In 1959, Swedish SAS airline stewardess Birgitta Lindman was brought in to inspect a showgirl's uniform before going on stage. This was after news broke that stewardesses' would be getting shorter skirts as part of their uniforms.
The costume was vastly different than the everyday apparel typically worn by airline stewardesses' in the 1950s. Looking at Lindman's face in this photograph, it's safe to assume she was not overly sure about the change in their uniform.
Eddy Michell Goofing Around With The Chaussettes Noires
Starting his singing career off as one of the members of the French group the Chaussettes Noires, Eddy Michell found almost instant success. While their debut album sold over two million copies, Michell still opted to go solo in 1963.
As it turned out, the move was stellar for his career, paving the way for multiple record deals and even some film opportunities. Here, he's seen goofing off with some of his old bandmates.
Brigitte Bardot Playing At The Beach
During the 1950s and 1960s, Brigitte Bardot was one of the biggest faces on the silver screen. Born in 1934 and aspiring to be a ballerina, Bardot instead found herself acting and landing roles throughout her adolescence, including the Italian melodrama Concert of Intrigue.
Before "retiring elegantly" from acting in 1973, Bardot starred in one last film, the French comedy The Edifying and Joyous Story of Colinot, where she plays the role of Arabelle.
Raquel Welch On The Dick Cavett Show
Comedy writer and author Dick Cavett hosted the late-night talk show The Dick Cavett Show from 1968 and 1995. During his time, Cavett interviewed numerous celebrities, including actress Raquel Welch.
This particular discussion became famous for more than Welch's iconic blue dress. During her time on the show, Welch discussed her upcoming project, a gender-change comedy. The topic was controversial, at best, with another guest saying she didn't understand the premise of the movie.
Miss Florida Waterskiing
In 1962, Gloria Brody was crowned Miss Florida, the young lady who would represent the southern state at the Miss United States pageant. At the age of 19, Brody didn't win the Miss United States pageant, but she did perform a memorable ballet for her talent, an interpretive Ballet, Theme from Exodus.
Here, the Jacksonville, Florida, native is seen enjoying a day on the water, skiing while smiling for the boat-riding paparazzi.
The Monkees Taking A Breather
Originally formed in 1965 as part of a situation comedy series called The Monkees, the rock band of the same name swiftly gained popularity throughout the decade. Made up of David Jones, Mickey Dolenz, Peter Tork, and Michael Nesmith, The Monkees would go on to tour and make music long after the show was canceled.
While they certainly weren't The Beatles, The Monkees were considered to be one of the most popular groups of the 1960s.
David R. Scott Going Under Astronaut Training
On his first mission to space in 1966, David R. Scott piloted the Gemini VIII, alongside Neil Armstrong. He would have been the second person to step on the moon had it not been for an emergency that made the crew abort the mission.
Scott now holds the title of the seventh person who has ever stepped foot on the moon. Here, Scott is seen in a special tank that's used to conduct water egress training.
The Crowd At Chicago's Wrigley Field
Built in 1914 and named Weeghman Park, the infamous ballpark soon found a new owner in William Wrigley Jr. As such, the stadium was renamed Wrigley Feild in 1927 and has stayed that way ever since.
Home to the Chicago Cubs baseball franchise, the stadium is known for its sporadic wind patterns that come off Lake Michigan, its ivy-covered brick outfield wall, the hand-turned scoreboard, and the iconic red marquee located at the entrance to the park.
Alfred Hitchcock And Janet Leigh On The Set Of Psycho
Right at the start of the 1960s, Alfred Hitchcock released one of his famed thriller films, Psycho. Starring Janet Leigh and Anthony Perkins, Psycho has been remade numerous times and is wildly considered to be Hitchcock's best film.
Here, Hitchcock and star Janet Leigh are seen laughing in a candid photograph taken on the set of the film. In 1992, the Library of Congress selected Psycho for the National Film Registry.
The British Invasion
No one was ready for the mid-'60s British Invasion. The cultural phenomenon brought rock and pop talents from across the pond and showcased the idea of counterculture like never before.
Groups such as the Dave Clark Five, The Rolling Stones, and The Who were finding their footing on American soil during this time. Of course, one of the main bands leading the forefront of the "invasion" was a little four-man band called the Beatles.
"Duck And Cover" Drills Were School Norms
People who grew up in the 1960s probably feel an odd sense of nostalgia seeing these school children underneath their desks during a duck and cover drill. Unfortunately, the aftermath of World War II left people in a panic, thinking a nuclear attack was going to happen any minute.
One way to "prepare" for such an attack was to have duck and cover drills during school hours. Thankfully, the drills never had to be put into action.
Beatlemania
The first publicity the Beatles garnered in the United States was in October of 1963. From there, people looked forward to reading, watching, or learning about the group. So much so that the television networks broadcasting stories on the band were soon dubbed the events "Beatlemania."
It didn't take long for people to line up for tickets at the box office or for fans to scream their heads off during their shows.
Linda Ronstadt Was One Of The Most Popular Artists
Starting her career as the lead singer for the Stone Poneys, Lisa Ronstadt soon made a name for herself in the 1960s music scene in California. Soon after, she went solo, recording Hand Sown...Home Grown, an album that's described as being the first alternative record made by a female artist.
Fame eluded her at the start, but she soon became known as the first female "arena class" rocker, becoming one of the highest-grossing concert artists of the decade.
Surfin' On A Party Wave
Circa 1960s, a group of teenagers surf on a party wave in Florida. And while the sport isn't nearly as popular as it is in today's culture, people could still be found on their boards in the early hours of the day, catching waves with their friends.
Thankfully, music from popular brands such as The Beach Boys helped legitimize the laid-back surfer lifestyle, so people no longer saw them as "hippie beach bums."
Jimi Hendrix Pretending To Hitchhike At The Airport
Described as "arguably the greatest instrumentalist in the history of rock music" by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Jimi Hendrix made quite a splash in the 1960s music scene. After returning home from his time in the US Army, Hendrix picked up a guitar and never turned back.
After the release of his first and only number one album Electric Ladyland, Hendrix picked to headline the festival of the century, Woodstock.
A Secretary With No Computer Or Phone In Sight
With all of the technology available now, it's hard to imagine a time when going to work meant good old fashion paper pushing. In the 1960s, that meant no computer to organize spreadsheets or do email and no cellphone to play around on during lunch.
This man, for example, is sitting at his desk with nothing more than pamphlets, a pen, and a whole lot of paper that is vastly unorganized.
Muhammad Ali Training
Nicknamed "the greatest," Muhammad Ali is known as one of the greatest boxers of all time and one of the most celebrated figures of the 20th century. Starting as an amateur boxer at the age of 12, Ali went on to participate in 61 fights throughout his professional career, only losing five.
He remains the only three-time lineal champion in the heavyweight division and the only fighters to be named The Ring magazine Fighter of the Year a total of six times.
Future Halloween Star
This 1966 photograph might look like a movie still of a young Jamie Lee Curtis, but no one really saw the future actress on-screen until the '70s, when she played Laurie Strode in the horror film Halloween.
From there, she established herself as a high-profile scream queen, landing roles in films such as The Fog, Terror Train, Prom Night, and all of the Halloween sequels and remakes, including the most recent 2018 direct sequel Halloween.
"The Golden Age Of The Stewardess"
Throughout the 1960s, one of the "dream jobs" for young women was an airline stewardess. With the clean-cut uniforms, friendly smiles, and youthful appearances, the decade has become known as "The Golden Age of the Stewardess."
Of course, it was during a time when a majority of fliers were wealthy older men. Nowadays, flying is much more accessible, and flight attendants have gone from being dolled-up young ladies to being normal, everyday people.
"Stop! In The Name Of Love"
If there is one song that screams Supremes, it's "Stop! In the Name of Love." From March 27, 1965, through April 3, 1965, the song held the number one spot on the Billboard pop singles chart.
The popular song was nominated for the 1966 Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Rock & Roll Group Vocal Performance, losing out to "Flowers on the Wall" by the Statler Brothers. Even so, the song has stood the test of time, with most people knowing the iconic "stop" hand motion.
Audrey Hepburn Bringing Class To Breakfast At Tiffany's
In 1961, actress Audrey Hepburn brought a whole new meaning to the phrase L.B.D, aka the little black dress. Her iconic performance as high-society gal Holly Golightly is not only considered one of Hepburn's most identifiable roles but Break at Tiffany's was also her most challenging.
According to Hepburn, playing the role of Holly wasn't easy for her, as the character is an extrovert and the actress is, ironically, an introvert. She obviously does the part justice, as she was nominated for an Academy Award for her performance.
W.O. Bentley Standing With His Two Cars
Born in 1888, Walter Owen Bentley and his brother, Horace, went on to co-found one of the leading luxury automobile companies in the world, Bentley Motors Limited. It wasn't until 1919 when the company name became patented, good timing with Bentley setting racing records left and right throughout the '20s.
Here, an older W.O. Bentley is seen standing between two vintage Bentleys on his property in London, circa the 1960s. In 1995, Bentley was inducted into the Automotive Hall of Fame.
Gilligan's Island Tina Louise
Actress Tina Louise is probably best known for her role as Ginger Grant in the popular comedy series Gilligan's Island. Even though the series brought a lot of fame Louise's way, she was afraid the 1960s show was going to have her typecast for the rest of her career.
To everyone on the outside, that didn't seem like the case, as Louise continued to work in Hollywood after the cancelation of the series. Even so, Louise believes Gilligan ruined her career.
The Beach Boys Posing On A California Beach
Formed in 1961, the Beach Boys found their footing as one of the first self-contained rock groups. Starting as a garage band, people soon found themselves dancing along to the group's early surf music.
By 1963, the Beach Boys had a string of top-ten hits, each showcasing Southern California youth culture with romance, cars, and, of course, surfing. Their funky blend of jazz, rock and roll, and R&B was dubbed the "California sound."
The Famous Whiskey A Go Go
First constructed in Chicago in 1958, the famous Whiskey a Go Go on the Sunset Strip in West Hollywood, California, wasn't founded until a few years later, in 1964. The latter venue is now known as the place where huge names in music first got their start.

Kids Lining Up For The School Bus
Nothing quite captures 1960s schooling like young kids lined up waiting to board the school bus. Here, the kids are dressed in cute school-appropriate skirts, blouses, slacks, and shirts while carrying lunch boxes, a stark difference from the students of today.
While many kids still ride the bus today, it's not as commonplace as it used to be, and seeing all of the kids dressed in their school clothes with their tin lunch boxes brings back all of the memories.
Family Board Game Night
One aspect of the 1960s that people take for granted nowadays is family game night. Here, a father is playing the board game "sorry" with his three children (and a doll) while his wife looks on with a smile on her face.
This scene, along with the smiles on everyone's faces, is the epitome of a '60s family living in America. All that's missing is a dinner table with a pot roast!
Apollo 11 Launch Center
On July 20, 1969, Apollo 11 became the first spacecraft to land on the moon, and Neil Armstrong became the first person to step foot on the lunar surface.

This particular picture shows the launch center of the famous Apollo 11 spacecraft.
Ali MacGraw Posing For Glamour
Beginning her career in 1960, Ali McGraw worked her way up from being a photographer's assistant at Harper's Bazaar to being a fashion model for Vogue. From there, it didn't take much for McGraw to land commercials and television appearances.

Tony Curtis In Costume For Taras Bulba
Tony Curtis' acting career spans over six decades, with the peak of his popularity being in the 50s and 60s. Known for being a versatile actor, Curtis starred in everything, from comedies to long-winded drama epics.

The 1961 Washington Square Park Ban On Folk Music
While the 1960s were a huge time for Freedom of Speech, one little slice of the United States wasn't having any of it-- Washington Square Park in Greenwich Village, New York. In March of 1961, Park Commissioner Newbold Morris put a band on the folk genre, not allowing artists to play it in the park.
Soon after, on April 9, 1961, huge crowds swarmed the square, protesting the ban on folk music.
The Rolling Stones Posing In The Country
Formed in 1962, the Rolling Stones was one of the most popular hard rock bands throughout the '60s and '70s. With a grittier sound than conventional rock music, the Rolling Stones pioneered the heavier sound that has come to define hard rock music.

Marilyn Monroe Getting A Wardrobe Fix
Through the '50s and '60s, Marilyn Monroe became the symbol of feminine beauty, changing the ways people looked at sexuality during the time.

Ironically, both of those works are considered to be "minor novels" in the grand scheme of Faulkner's catalog!
Behind-The-Scenes Of Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid
One of the big movies to come out of the 1960s was George Roy Hill's Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Starring Paul Newman, Robert Redford, Katharine Ross, the film is a story of friendship, love, and a whole lot of criminal behavior.

Picketing Outside The White House
The decade of the 1960s was a strange time. Not only was the United States still warring with Vietnam, but the entire country went further on pins and needles when the Cuban Missile Crisis occurred in October of 1962.
Leaving the country in suspense for one month and four days, the scare did nothing but make people extremely paranoid. Here, people are picketing outside of the White House, peacefully asking the president not to invade Cuba and start another war.

Natalie Wood Taking A Break From Acting
Starting out in the entertainment industry at the young age of four, Natalie Wood proved she was more than a child actor when the '60s rolled around. Playing major roles such as Marie in West Side Story proved Wood was a serious actress, ready to take on more mature roles.

Two huge names to come out of the 1960s entertainment industry are Joan Collins and Warren Beatty. Both were in multiple films throughout the decade (Beatty more so than Collins). Collins' more memorable projects included Hard Time for Princes and Subterfuge, both of which she plays the leading lady.
On the other hand, Beatty had a bit more exposure, landing lead roles in big-name projects such as Bonnie and Clyde, The Roman Spring of Mrs. Stone, and Promise Her Anything.
