before the 1950s, children were seen and not heard
in the 1950s teenagers were realized to be a powerful market niche
my fave fan pic:
A magazine ran a win a date with Elvis - the winner is in the white dress standing up
they were followed by a photographer of course
walking through a hotel lobby, a girl saw Elvis and fainted - first from seeing him and then when she woke up on the couch and he was still there
Imagine winning the date and getting upstaged
