on reflection and thinking about the original theme of the thread I think the first time the paparazzi had any influence in the British press, broadsheet as well as tabloid was when Jean Shrimpton appeared in a 'mini' at the Melbourne Cup in 65 and the British press went ape . The 'event' happened in Australia at a race meet which only Australians have any interest in but the pictures made world headlines at the time especially in the UK

She was what can be described as the first 'supermodel' but the word hadn't been invented then , a real crackerjack
on checking the wikipedia entry I notice she will be 65 this year , where have years gone
