In 1987 Brad Pitt got a bit of a break and was able to appear in a few episodes of "Dallas" on CBS which was a prime time event. It was this appearance that spring boarded his career but it would still take him another four years before he started to gain some national attention from his co-star role in "Thelma and Louise" in 1991. The timing of this photograph, dated early in 1988 and at an awards show for his 1987 work, is incredible as Pitt was literally not even a footnote to a footnote in Hollywood. Here he is pictured at a party in Beverly Hills to promote the Jimmy Stewart relay marathon and is holding his pair of Nike sneakers for the event. It is impossible to think that an earlier image of Pitt exists and this is stamped on the back with the date and from photographer Scott Downie.
