The tall blond in Daveland's photo .....http://davelandweb.com/tomorrowland/popup.htm? images/Spaceman_126_60s.jpg... was a greeter at the door, and had to duck to get through it. Needless to say, she was tall. Keith got the idea, and presented it to her, that she should be the space girl in Tomorrowland. He then set up and interview with the head of personnel, and she got the job. This must be and early photo, because later she also had a bubble helmet. It seems like a lot of different girls and costumes were used throughout the years, but I thought she was the most striking.CoxPilothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16284076551547506117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-27573372394982213222008-06-22T13:48:00.000-07:002008-06-22T13:48:00.000-07:00Fantastic Monorail Sub Lagoon pic.

I have a feeling that’s another security guard and they were sort of clearing the area for the picture. “folks if you could just wait for a minute while we get a couple of pictures…” The people in the background were probably left in because the kid is wearing a Mickey Mouse hat. The skyway bucket is also at just the right place. When I think of the 100+ temperatures it can get during the summers I have a lot of sympathy for the spaceman. Are there any former spacemen reading this? Would love to hear about your experiences!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-31370930386940558622008-06-22T09:34:00.000-07:002008-06-22T09:34:00.000-07:00I have the names of a bunch of people who played S...I have the names of a bunch of people who played Spaceman K-7 and Spacegirl over the years. One pair of them even got married! It'd be nice to be able to match up the facts and the names.<BR/><BR/>Do you know what year the first photo is from? On the left you can see a Security Officer. His costume looks a bit different than what they wear today (which has been around at least since <A HREF="http://bp2.blogger.com/_A4grLYnNdu4/SF0cdUC-ITI/AAAAAAAAArw/DnlUAHPtexk/s1600-h/20080621+1963+Tomorrowland+1.jpg" REL="nofollow">1963</A>). I'm wondering if it's the costume worn by the Burns Detective Agency that operated Security until late 1957.Jason Schultzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13193194008194991219noreply@blogger.com
