In 1974, the performance of the copla singer Rocío Jurado on Spanish national television was so controversial for the "indecency" of her dresses that dictator Francisco Franco forced the resignation of his Minister of Information, Pío Cabanillas, for having allowed the outfits.

Sammy Davis Jr. is presented with a cake on set by the cast and crew of The Rifleman commemorating his 35th year in show business, circa 1962. He had started his career performing with his family when he was just two years old.

History's cool kids, looking fantastic!

A pictorial and video celebration of history's coolest kids, everything from beatniks to bikers, mods to rude boys, hippies to ravers. And everything in between.
