The Today show's producers tracked down the two men, who told host Meredith Vieria that owning a lion cub "almost seemed natural" so many decades ago.

Our own Hortense found a book called Charm: The Career Girl's Guide To Business And Personal Success. Inside: Priceless advice and delightful illustrations! Here are some gems: "Don't try to seem important. The other person's prime concern is his own importance. Your charm rating rises in proportion to your ability to lift his feelings of importance. Give him a good opinion of your heart and he'll automatically have a high opinion of your mind." (pg. 271) "If you can't say something favorable, keep your thoughts to yourself. Better yet, try to weed out those critical thoughts; they can't help but dull your charm." (pg. 271) "Be flexible. The girls who get to be private secretaries to top executives and famous personalities work under all conditions... Occasionally you may be asked to do shopping for your boss or a personal favor such as a duplicating job for his wife's club. Take on these chores agreeably. Part of the job is making life easier for your chief, even to the extent of obliging his wife." (pg. 308) Click the pic for more drawings and more "charm"-ing advice. More »

Pear-shaped ladies! This 1967 Warner's ad wants to "help." "Girls with too much bottom and too little top: Warner's can reshape you," reads the copy. Apparently the girdle sucks you in and the bra fills you out and suddenly you're in proportion. Sounds comfortable! Not. (Click to see larger.) [Via '60s Fashion by Taschen] More »
