Obviously, the journalist who captioned this photo has no perspective on his/her time/age in history. This photo was probably taken in 1966 - not 1976.

I have a photo of myself picking my nose circa 1972. I'll have my publicist contact your people.

At least the IQ of the "reporter" who posted this is not difficult to decipher.

Rosemary's Baby was from 1968...this picture was more likely shot in 1967, not 1976.

The page is Stylelist , and the column is called "A Look Back", no, they are not kidding! Don't you think you're looking in the wrong place for "important" news???

It was in my peripheral vision, I couldn't believe it. There was NO headline "looking back". Sometimes it's just hard to believe what is presented as 'news', it's what makes people respond, got that?

MIa famously cut her hair in 1965, not 1976 or 1967. She was still playing the character of Alison MacKenzie on Peyton Place. Here is the letter 20th Century Fox sent her at the time:

Rosemary's Baby came out in the 60's and she had her haircut then and married Frank Sinatra for a brief time. Not 1976. Get the facts straight!!
