Charlie's Angels is an American crime drama television series about three women who work for a private investigation agency, and is one of the first shows to showcase women in roles traditionally reserved for men. The series stars Kate Jackson, Farrah Fawcett-Majors, Jaclyn Smith, David Doyle, and John Forsythe as the voice of Charles Townsend, also known as "Charlie" (the Angels' boss). The series was broadcast in the USA on the ABC Television Network from 1976 to 1981 and was one of the most successful series of the 1970s. Charlie's Angels was created by Ivan Goff and Ben Roberts and produced by Aaron Spelling and Leonard Goldberg. Farrah Fawcett-Majors (Jill Monroe) left after the first season and was replaced by Cheryl Ladd as Kris Munroe, Jill's sister and a former police officer from San Francisco. Katte Jackson (Sabrina Duncan) left after the third season and war replaced by Shelley Hack as Tiffany Welles, a former police officer from Boston. In the final season, Tanya Roberts replaced Hack as Julie Rogers, a former model. Jaclyn Smith (Kelly Garrett) was the only original female cast member to remain with the series during its entire five-year run. The show became known as Jiggle television or T&A TV (Tits & Ass Television) by critics who believed that the show had no intelligence or substance and that the scantily or provocatively dressed Angels—generally as part of their undercover characters; eg - Roller derby girl, beauty pageant contestant, maid, female prisoner, or just bikini-clad—did so to showcase the figures and/or sexuality of the actresses as a sole means of attracting viewers. Fawcett-Majors once attributed the show's success to this fact: When the show was number three, I figured it was our acting. When it got to be number one, I decided it could only be because none of us wears a bra. |

70's fashion From hot pants to bell-bottoms and the disco look, if you were a fashion-
conscious young adult in the '70s your wardrobe was eclectic to say the least. And that's before we even get to the tie-dye shirts, platform shoes and glam rock. The 70's was a time when women chose who they wanted to be and if they felt like putting a short mini skirt one day and then the next day a maxi dress, midi skirt or some hot pants the day after - that is actually what every women did in that era.

In the early 1970s platform shoes started with a quite slim sole which moved from ¼ inch up to about 4 inches at the peak of popularity. When they were that high, individuals frequently got friendly cobblers, or handy men to hollow out cheese holes from the sole base. By the mid seventies the most ordinary people were wearing two inch deep platforms without a second thought. But accidents did happen and many a woman and man twisted on a pair of platform shoes. At about the same time, clogs became popular as they followed the trend for chunkiness of sole.

The naive girl works for crime-lord Kananga, but of course is seduced by James Bond who uses a stacked tarot deck of cards, that show only the lovers, to trick her into thinking that seduction is in her future, and then seduces her. Solitaire loses her ability to foretell the future when she loses her virginity to Bond and is forced into cooperating with Bond to bring down Kananga. |

10 is a 1979 romantic comedy film directed by Blake Edwards and starring Dudley Moore, Julie Andrews, Robert Webber, Dee Wallace, and Bo Derek, in her first major film appearance. Considered a trend-setting film at the time, and one of the year's biggest box office hits, the film made superstars of Moore and Derek. It follows a man who up in middle age finds a young woman who he thinks is the ideal woman for him, leading to both a comic chase and an encounter in Mexico. The film would be one of several sex comedies Blake Edwards would make addressing subjects like sexual promiscuity, machismo, feminism, and aging. Bo Derek (born Mary Cathleen Collins; November 20, 1956) is an American film and television actress, movie producer, and model perhaps best known for her role as Jenny Hanley, the 10 in "10". Bo Derek's appearance shot her to instant stardom and status as a sex symbol. Her beaded and plaited cornrow hairstyle in the film was widely copied and became eponymous. The scene where George sees Jenny running on the beach in Mexico has become iconic and often parodied. However, Derek's later films were not well received by either the public or critics and her film career never recovered. Today she makes the occasional film, television and documentary appearance. |
