Jamie Lee Curtis Was The Lead Star Of Perfect
Are you a millennial? If so, you probably know Jamie Lee Curtis for starring in Freaky Friday alongside Lindsey Lohan. It is either that or her Activia commercials. Back in the ‘70s and ‘80s, she was one of the biggest stars in the industry. The talented actress has appeared in both hits and flops.
She and John Travolta teamed up for a movie called Perfect in 1985. The film was based on a series of Rolling Stone articles that talked about the rising popularity of fitness clubs among Angeleno singles. She brought workout instructor Jessie Wilson to life and sported leotards like the one you are looking at. It turned out to be a flop and only received 19 percent on Rotten Tomatoes. To no one’s surprise, it took home a number of Golden Raspberry awards as well.
A Lovely Picnic in the Middle of the Highway
Isn’t this amazing? The photo you are looking at was snapped on the 4th of November in 1973 in the Netherlands. The photographer immortalized a group of friends having a picnic somewhere unexpected. This happened during a “car-free Sunday” during the great oil crisis of the time.
In those days, the price of oil climbed from $3 to over $12 in a number of countries. Such a thing happened because of an embargo. It led to short and long-term effects on the global economy and politics that affected the lives of people from all over the world.
