Summary
DescriptionBeach Party Annette Funicello Frankie Avalon Mid-1960s.jpg
Publicity photo of American entertainers Frankie Avalon and Annette Funicello depicting their roles in the series of Beach Party films they popularized during the mid-1960s. The attached newspaper clippings which published the photo do not provide a specific year for the 1960s image (right), or which particular film the image is from, but simply refer to the image as depicting the subjects during the "beach-party era" (circa, 1963–1965).
It is unclear as to whether the press-materials were distributed by Avalon and/or Funicello's personal publicity agency or by one of the studios/networks promoting one of their film/television appearances at the time (circa, 1977).
PD-PRE1978. The photo has no copyright markings on it as can be seen in the links above (also see original upload).
