Eartha Kitt look mad as hell. She probably thought at that point in her career, she shouldn't have had to take bikini photos in a group. I think she's about 15-20 years older than them.Jayne Kennedy, Eartha Kitt, and Freda Payne pose for JET magazine, July 11, 1974

Before he was the prodigious Warner Bros. signee known simply as Prince, a young Prince Rogers Nelson could be spotted playing community centers and neighborhood bars in North Minneapolis with his high school band, Grand Central.
I've just noticed that you posted the same picture a week before I did.... my bad, I didn't see your post at the time... but hey, great history is always worth posting a second time...

No harm, no foul. We both saw a very interesting photo and shared it.I've just noticed that you posted the same picture a week before I did.... my bad, I didn't see your post at the time... but hey, great history is always worth posting a second time...
If they can go after us for stuff that happened years ago I say go for it, make them pay like they make us pay.

80 years ago today, the Tuskegee Airmen, an elite African American unit of the U.S. Army, was activated—the first military branch to welcome Black pilots.
After two years of training, the Tuskegee Airmen, dubbed the ‘Red-Tail Angels’, were sent to Europe and proved their mettle as accomplished battle pilots in World War II.
The group also included the navigators, bombardiers, mechanics, instructors, and support personnel for the top-notch pilots.
John Ridley wrote the screenplay. Additional material was shot the following year with executive producer George Lucas as director and Aaron McGruder as writer of the reshoots. It was filmed in March and July 2009. Red Tails was a personal project for Lucas, one that he had originally conceived in 1988.

Valerie Thomas is an American scientist and inventor who patented the illusion transmitter in 1980. After seeing an illusion that involved concave mirrors and light bulbs in a museum, she became curious about how she might apply concave mirrors in her work at NASA
Her invention, the illusion transmitter grew out of her experimentation with concave mirrors. You could call it early 3D technology.
Her invention transmits an optical illusion of a 3D image between concave mirrors that looks real on the receiving end. NASA continues to use her technology to this day.
She also developed real-time computer data systems to support satellite control centers and oversaw the creation of the NASA Landsat program that spearheaded some of the first image transmissions from space.
