Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Publicity photo from the game show Twenty Questions. Actor Aldo Ray is in the photo as a guest panelist.
Date

Publicity release is not dated, but refers to the eight anniversary of the show on 1 February. The back has been stamped February 1954. The show began on radio in 1946. A television version started in 1949; it aired on DuMont from 1951 to 1954. This would have to be in 1954, since it's a DuMont photo.

Permission
(Reusing this file)
  • It was created for publicity purposes-distribution to the media. The image was meant to bring attention and publicity for the personalities pictured, the program and the network, the same as the publicity photos for actors and actresses in the film industry were intended to do.

Film production expert Eve Light Honthaner in The Complete Film Production Handbook, (Focal Press, 2001 p. 211.):

"Publicity photos (star headshots) have traditionally not been copyrighted. Since they are disseminated to the public, they are generally considered public domain, and therefore clearance by the studio that produced them is not necessary."
"There is a vast body of photographs, including but not limited to publicity stills, that have no notice as to who may have created them." (The Professional Photographer's Legal Handbook By Nancy E. Wolff, Allworth Communications, 2007, p. 55.)
Creative Clearance-Publicity photos
"Publicity Photos (star headshots) older publicity stills have usually not been copyrighted and since they have been disseminated to the public, they are generally considered public domain and therefore there is no necessity to clear them with the studio that produced them (if you can even determine who did)."
