Photos: The Jonas Brothers and Other Teen Idols

Some of America's favorite boy pinups of the last 60 years

The Jonas Brothers, who make their TV-movie debut this weekend, aren't the first heartthrobs to make tween girls screech and swoon, and they won't be the last. The Disney-created band is just the latest in a parade of teen-idol confections that began in the 1950s. Here are some of America's favorite boy pinups from the days of 'Beach Blanket Bingo' to 'High School Musical.'
