The Cowsills In Magazines

Photos
You've
Never
Seen
Before!

The Fabulous Cowsills have endeared themselves to practically everyone's hearts within a very short time.

Everywhere they go, now that fame has burst upon them, the family from Rhode Island is photographed, fussed over ... and just plain loved!

But that hasn't changed Bud or Barbara Cowsill or any of their talented kids. Not in the least bit.

Susy, John, Barry, Bill, Bob, Paul and Dick Cowsill still join in with mom for chores - or fun! Just as they always have.

And many of those times that mean so much to a family - graduation, a holiday, or just a cute look - were faithfully recorded by Bud or Barbara.

The whole story starts with them, so they'll begin our sentimental journey through the years with the Cowsills ...

Barbara and Bud Cowsill (Mom and Dad) enjoy an afternoon in the park soon after their Ohio wedding in July, 1946.

On January 9, 1948, Bill - the first baby Cowsill arrived. Here he is at three months old.

Susan always blushes when she sees this photo of herself at the tender age of one! Susan was born on May 20, 1959.

Twins Dick and Bob were all of 18 months old when this cute pic was taken. Birthdate: August 26, '49.

As a youngster, Bill loved being taken for walks in his stroller. Here he's 14 months.

"Say - look at me!" yells Bob as he excitedly takes his first steps in the big world just after his first birthday.

At the age of two, Dick and Bob seem to be taking life very seriously! Don't they look darling?

Left to right: Bill (4), Bob and Dick (2) pose for the camera on their doorstep.

Susan, at eight months of age, happily posed for snaps. She loved having her picture taken!

Romping in the garden was always fun. Here, Barbara plays with Bill (5), Dick and Bob who are now three.

Handsome Bud, left, poses with a Navy friend before sailing off on another round-the-world voyage.

Home on leave, Bud takes the family to the beach. Left to right: Bob, Dick, Bill, Bud, Barbara & Paul.

One thing about the family - they're not camera shy. Especially young Bill in the middle.

Barbara, serious-faced Bob, funny-faced Dick and smiling-faced Paul pose for the camera.

Here's a happy threesome! Left to right: Barry (8), Susan (3) and John (6). Pic was taken in a park near their home.

When they lived in Ohio, Bill (then 13), Bob and Dick (11) were members of their church choir. Don't they look angelic!

All dressed up in her Easter bonnet and Sunday best, Susan (2) looks very proud of herself !

This photo of smiling Bob was snapped
at school in R.I. when he was 14.

"Look what we got for Christmas!" Susan (2 1/2) and John (6) can't wait to open their presents.

One of the last photos taken of Bud before he left the Navy five years ago.

One of the first Cowsills group pix taken three years ago. Barry was drummer then. John's in front.

In cap and gown, Bill looks very smart on Graduation Day. He was 17 then.

Feeding time is quite an event at the Cowsills huge home in Newport, R.I., and Mom's kept very busy

This action shot was taken when the group toured the states earlier this year with Susan and Mom.

There's nothing like "getting away from it all!" Here Sue and Barb sunbathe.

'Bread is Groovy' says the card! And John, Barry and Dick agree.

Barbara really enjoyed the sun when the family appeared in Bermuda in February.

What's going on here! Bud untangles Susan from the equipment while Dick and Barry watch!

The Cowsills call their Newport house "Munster Mansion"! Here Barb looks out a window with Bill, Barry, John & Bob.

Susan loves playing around in the garden with big brother Bill.

One of the latest snaps in the album. Left to right: Bill, Barry, Paul, Bob, Dick, Mom, Dad, and on the top sit John and Susan. Aren't they the happiest looking family? You bet!
