#20YearsAgoOnAOLcom: Oct. 15, 1999 -- "Fight Club" Opens; Nobel Peace Prize; Lara Croft Returns

October 15, 1999: For the Fight Club opening, we went with a photo of Brad Pitt, in the least Fight Club photo imaginable. In the My News headlines, we see that Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders) won the 1999 Nobel Peace Prize:

For the PM update, we featured the return of Lara Croft in Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation:

[Series note: In the late 1990s, I programmed the content for the AOL.com home page, which relaunched with a new design on July 14, 1998. I printed screencaps and saved them. 20 years later, I'm scanning them in and posting them with a little commentary under the tag #20YearsAgoOnAOLcom.]
