I wasnโt prepared for how interesting the backstories to some of these photos would be. In 1999, in an interview on The Rosie O'Donnell Show, Lauren Bacall spoke about how Bette Davis approved of her performance. The long exposure time needed to take very early photos made it difficult to photograph people. Daguerre's photo took seven minutes, but the man getting his shoes shined stood in place long enough to be captured by his photo. David Schwimmer's Ross Geller made a cameo on the short-lived The Single Guy, playing an old friend of Jonathan. Meanwhile, Lea Thompson's character Caroline also made a cameo in the Friends episode "The One with the Baby on the Bus." Halley's Comet won't appear again until 2061.
