Rosanne Interviewed About the History of Teen Idols on Cosmoetica #438: On Teen Idols [Video]
I enjoyed discussing the phenomenon and possible importance of Teen Idols across the generations with Dan Schneider for his Cosmoetica YouTube channel. Of course, he found me thanks to my book on The Monkees ( whose subtitle is “Teenagers, Television, and American Pop Culture”) and I was happy to report on the research I had done for the book about the rise of the term “teen ager” (post WWII when high school became mandatory), those who came before the Monkees (from Sinatra to James Dean to Bobby Sherman), and those who’ve come after (from the Jackson Five to Leonardo DiCaprio to Miley Cyrus).

Sexy leggy Val, at 19, out with Scott Colomby and some friends. Scott was her first real boyfriend. Looks like Val wrote a note to a fan and then drew a mustache on Scott's face. 😆 Lots more pictures from this night coming up! 1979.
