October 13, 2003You Oughta Be In PicturesA collection of more than 12 million historic photographs, capturing scenes from the Boer War to the D-Day landings, was published on the Internet Monday. The images, which date back to the turn of the 20th century, have been captured from the archives of the British Pathe newsreel, a cinema news service that pre-dated television. Memorable images include John Lennon and Paul McCartney with their 1964 NME award as well as classic actresses Audrey Hepburn, Brigitte Bardot and Marilyn Monroe. Surrealist painter Salvador Dali was the highlight of Pathe's final newsreel in 1970, pulling a bizarre pose in Paris. The collection can be accessed at www.britishpathe.com. More details can be found in the Yahoo! News article.
