Sue no longer has a Facebook page as far as I can determine when I'm Facebooking. Several years ago, someone said on this message board that she had one. She doesn't anymore. One Facebook search result has a link to her Wikipedia article, nothing more.
Does anyone know where I can share a newspaper photograph of Sue that was taken in February of 1960? That was at least several months before Stanley Kubrick discovered her while watching her on television.
Please click below for the identity of the junior high school that Sue attended when the Los Angeles newspaper ran a photo of her posing with a guy who attended a different school. (Neither was an actor at the time.) This will interest Los Angeles residents who care about local history. Thomas Starr King was a junior high in 1960. Decades later, it became a middle school as did nearly all junior high schools. The building was and is on Fountain Avenue.

No, the newspaper photo of 13-year-old Sue Lyon isn't in a book, in a magazine, on a web site or accessible with Google or Facebook.
The photo exists only in two places:
a reel of microfilm at the downtown Los Angeles branch of the city of Los Angeles library system. A lot of homeless people hang out there seven days a week.
someone's flash drive
The moderator of the Facebook group for "Stanley Kubrick appreciation" received a submission for a possible post that would contain the photo. The moderator is deciding whether to post it.
The post also would include an identification of the junior high school Sue Lyon attended when the photo was taken: Thomas Starr King Junior High School on Fountain Avenue. Now it's Thomas Starr King Middle School. The caption in the newspaper called the
Los Angeles Herald & Express
left out the names "Thomas" and "Starr," identifying the school only as "King Junior High School." Date of the correct
Herald & Express
edition is Monday afternoon / evening, February 8, 1960.
