Marilyn Monroe posing with the mayor’s wife and daughter after arriving in Reno, Nevada for The Misfits, July 20th, 1960. Prior to landing, Marilyn was sick to her stomach with pains and vomiting. This did not stop her from being kind, and cheerful, to her fans by posing for photographs and signing autographs. As always, she thought of her fans over herself.

LECTURE 3: THE WORLD THAT GAVE US THE BEATLES (part 2): Countless American girls of the late 1950s and early ‘60s who would grow up to become first-generation Beatlemaniacs by ‘64 and ‘65 played with Barbie dolls. The American company Mattel Inc. introduced the iconic doll in March of 1959, resulting in record profits for the toy giant. Barbie’s overwhelming success speaks to the incredible economic muscle that children were able to flex in the prosperous years of the 1950s. As the announcer (Paul Frees) puts it: “You can tell it’s Mattel. It’s swell!”
0LECTURE 3: THE WORLD THAT GAVE US THE BEATLES (part 2): Jack Kerouac (1922-1969) delivers a reading from his Beat novel On The Road on The Steve Allen Show (1959). Kerouac’s 1957 novel instantly became a symbol of the Beat Generation of writers of the 1950s, an early countercultural community of writers, poets and artists that blazed a trail for the anti-establishment rebels of the 1960s. The impact of On the Road was enormous, and influenced large numbers of readers, both inside and outside of the United States, including a young John Lennon.

“You see, in our work of hunters of
miracles we have the happiness of the magic, but also the impossibility
to control it…we have to be open to the muse, as they used to say … and
keep eating, clothing, paying the rent…etc. I suppose it has always been
like this, when the kayak hunters went to the sea, they never knew if
they were going to find the whales or a storm…when we try to control
things completely, boredom establish its reign; and we degrade…and at
the same time, life has to keep going, always…that is why to make a good
use of the hunt [we need] wisdom. To get oil for the lamps, leather for
the shoes and clothing, [to] make harpoons with the bones, etc. To keep
this miracle of life, in happiness, in tenderness, forming children,
preserving elders, listening elders…
In the eternal moment which is
reality Agnès, you have to give time to rest, to renew, as with the
land, if you exhaust it, by permanently asking fruits, you disorganise
the rhythm…the breathing…Silence, peace and loneliness are necessary to
receive inspiration, [to] be empty for the new…for the reign to come,
daily…adios.”
from Larrain’s 1987 letter to Agnès Sire

LECTURE 2 – THE WORLD THAT GAVE US THE BEATLES: We Are the Lambeth Boys (1959) is a remarkable documentary by director Karel Reisz follows the daily activities of members of the Lambeth Youth Club (a social group that sponsored dances, gathered for cricket matches, etc.). in late 1950’s London. An example of a film movement called Free Cinema, a form of cinéma vérité that sought to portray day-to-day life in Great Britain without any ideological agenda, the film was shot over the summer of 1958. This is a scene from the documentary posted here, and you really should watch it in its entirety (below) if you have the time. It’s an unforgettable glimpse into the lives of ordinary working-class youths in Great Britain at a time when THE BEATLES – still known as THE QUARRYMEN – were still Liverpool teens with big dreams of escaping Liverpool through their music. PLEASE NOTE: They’ve removed the entire film from YouTube and only have short excerpts from it, like the one I posted here. But the film is available to watch online in its entirety (and definitely worth it!) at the Internet Archive at the link below:
