Year-Old Jimmy Page Plays Guitar on TV in , an Early Moment in His Spectacular Career
These days, most of our pop stars seem to come pre-printed from child-star factories, their looks and sound carefully crafted for maximum appeal. But every generation has its child stars, especially since the advent of radio and television, and many greats of the past got their start as kids, even if they made their way in a more individualized fashion. Elvis made his first public appearance onstage at a state fair at ten years of age, followed by a local radio appearance when he was twelve.

Werner Herzog's cave art rocks the world
Cave Of Forgotten Dreams is in cinemas now
When the enigmatic German film director Werner Herzog was asked to capture the paintings on film he jumped at the chance, having been fascinated by Palaeolithic art since he was a child. “My earliest intellectual awakening, when I was 12 or maybe 13, had to do with cave paintings,” he explains.
“I saw a book that fascinated me in the window of a bookstore, a book about cave paintings and I was completely shaken and mesmerised by it. I wanted to buy the book and worked as a ball boy on tennis courts until, a few months later, I had enough money.”
Now that boyhood passion has coalesced into an extraordinary documentary, Cave Of Forgotten Dreams.
It took more than a year to get permission though, from the French government, the authorities in the Ardeche region and the scientists responsible for the cave.
The 17,year-old paintings in the Lascaux cave in the Dordogne are no longer open to the public after the moisture from the breath of thousands of visitors caused a black mould to grow. Access to the Chauvet Cave is therefore severely limited.
There are only a few weeks of the year, in early spring, when conditions are suitable for work to be done and only a very small team of scientis
