Raquel Welch Went On The Dick Cavett Show

Dick Cavett is a comedy writer who fronted The Dick Cavett Show from 1968 until 1974. This well-known late-night talk show essentially featured the author as he chatted away with his guests. The likes of Katherine Hepburn, Lucille Ball, Orson Welles, and David Bowie appeared on the show!

Back in the summer of 1970, the show aired one of the most interesting episodes of its run. For that episode, his guests were none other than Janis Joplin and Raquel Welsh. The latter talked about this sex-change comedy she has worked on. Joplin explained that she had a hard time following the plot since it “kept changing.” Welch could not help from saying, “Well the whole movie is about change!” Back then, it was still considered to be a controversial topic, but the audience members burst out laughing anyway.

Well, this is not something that happens on a daily basis. The photo below was snapped in 1959. In the photo, you can see the Swedish stewardess Birgitta Lindman and a showgirl. Lindman was asked to inspect the getup the latter was wearing after finding out that they were getting shorter uniforms soon.

The year before this was taken, Lindman became a star after she appeared on the cover of Life magazine. She joined a competition for such an opportunity and bet 53 other candidates for the job. This is not what most people think of when they think about in-flight entertainment, but if the shoe fits!
