Who are those people on the Classmates ads?

Question

You know the yearbook pictures of that girl with the big glasses - and the ad exclaims "She's a model now?" - and they use her pic in another ad with a year book picture of good looking blonde jock type - with the ad saying "They got married?"

Who are those people? Are they aware their pics are being used - and were they paid anything?

Answer 1

If you sign a legal waiver allowing your picture to be utilized, Yes!  Good deal for the marketing company using the picture which they may have gotten free or paid maybe $100 to get it in exchange to use it.
