Diana Vreeland famously became an authority on people and places that were happening in her "People are Talking About..." column in Vogue magazine. Before The Beatles appeared on "The Ed Sullivan Show" 50 years ago today, they were featured in Vreeland's column in the January 1, 1964 issue of Vogue. This full page portrait was taken by London writer and photographer Peter Laurie. The band had just played a gig in Northampton and the flowers were collected from the stage where young female fans had thrown them. It was the first portrait of The Beatles published in an American magazine...a full month before they were on Ed Sullivan.
