Did everyone meet Ed Sullivan for a 20 year period or so?

Kirk appeared on the show in 1971

Heh.

Actor Connie Britton and Senator Kirsten Gillibrand

i roll w/ images off so i was like, that's not surprising at all. but then, wow

Before they were a senator and an Emmy-nominated actress, respectively, Kirsten Gillibrand and Connie Britton were roommates during a summer study abroad program in Beijing.

Possibly expected...

Shirley Manson & Christina Hendricks

Not expected at all. Trying to imagine the context before I dig around and find out. (Suspect it's a party for attractive redheads only.)

Close: A fashion show last year.

It just occurred to me that Manson is older than Hendricks.

I mean, of course she is. But in my mind, a 53-year-old Hendricks turns on the Bose in her office, hears Garbage and says, "I like the sound of this."

maybe this has been posted in here before but i just remembered it and it made me happy:

Had to look at the jpeg name to figure out that's Terry Riley.

Wonder what they got on their pizza

They both look like stuffed crust kinds of guys.

They just got down from that corkscrew playground tube

Are they at Minehead Butlins?

yes (Animal Collective ATP in 2011)

I don't know, maybe Paul Simon meeting Television at CBGB is already a well-worn tale. NYC in '77, everyone knew everyone.

"No, guys, it's good, it's really really good. Just wonder why, you know, your guitars always gotta sound so angular?"

"Are you listening, Verlaine? Two Words: 'Fretless Bass'. Two More: 'African Dudes'. Three More: 'Ladysmith Black Mambazo'. Yeah, that really is just three words..."

"Uh, we just wanted to stop by and say that we really enjoyed your sets. I though it was ... very musical, and I liked it a lot. Are you ... are you recording? Or do- Are you with any label now? Uh, well, I'd like to talk to you about that sometime, if you get a chance. ... of possibly working together. This is, uh, Shawn, and, uh ... Bob and Petronia. Uh ... w-we're going back to the Pierre. We're staying at the Pierre ... and we're gonna meet Jack and Angelica, and have a drink there, and ... if you'd like to come, uh, we'd love to have you. And we could just sit and talk ... nothing. Uh, not a big deal, it's just relax, just be very mellow."

Tuomas is kidding about this, right? It can't be possible that he "recently rewatched all the seasons of The Nanny" but doesn't recognize Seinfeld?

dali & francoise hardy (in an egg shell)

Trying to find the latest photo of Dali posing with someone noteworthy. Didn't realize he didn't die until 1989.

Helmut Newton's about as late as I've found. Still have hopes of one with him and ALF.

Ooh, this comes close. Keith Haring on the far right.

Wait, that's two different pictures, good grief.

I was about to say...

Guess this thread would be much easier to compile that way.

Trying to find the latest photo of Dali posing with someone noteworthy.

I had a fruitless quest to find Dali with the Dalai Lama.

Thinking of Dali photos and his muses, I like the wiki extract for Amanda Lear:

Lear's origins are unclear, with the singer herself providing different information regarding her background and keeping her birth year a secret even from her long-term husband. Contested facts include her birth date and place, her birth sex, names and nationalities of her parents and the location of her upbringing.
