There are only four people still alive (other than Paul and ringo) from the cover: singers Bob Dylan, Bobby Breen, and Dion, and artist Larry Bell.


If I remember right. When the Judy Garland mini series came out on ABC, they had a scene mentioning that Temple couldn't do the movie because of the studio or maybe it was because she had freckles.
