Let's put your knowledge of the 70s to the test! It was a decade unlike any other, filled with groundbreaking music genres like punk rock and disco, societal changes following the end of the Vietnam War, and a new generation moving on from the ideals of Flower Power. From the introduction of Pong, the first video arcade game, to the creation of email and the birth of the Apple computer, it was a time of immense change.
As we go back 50 years, it's no surprise that the famous faces of the era may look quite different now. To challenge your knowledge of film, TV, and music, we've gathered five stars from the 70s. Can you identify them all?
First up is a Tony Award nominee who rose to fame as a sitcom star in the 1970s. It's hard to believe that it's been almost four decades since her most famous role ended after nine years on air. After gaining recognition in Barney in 1975, she landed the lead role in Alice, a sitcom based on Martin Scorsese's 1974 film Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore. She even sang the show's theme song and made an appearance in Muppets Take Manhattan in 1984. Since then, she has worked on various projects, including The Sopranos, The OC, Santa Clarita Diet, and a recent episode of Elsbeth.
Next up, you might recognize this Hollywood icon better in her signature pair of short shorts. For an entire generation, she will always be remembered as the original Daisy Duke. Now 70 years old, she became a household name when she starred in the TV show Dukes of Hazard in 1979, long before the 2005 film adaptation. She also appeared in several other films and TV shows, including Crazed, Strange New World, Hustle, and Murder in Peyton Place.
Moving on to our third star, we have the Empress of Soul, who is still ageless at 80. With a career spanning 60 years and seven Grammy Awards under her belt, this musician has solidified her spot as one of the greatest in the industry. Hits like License To Kill and If I Were Your Woman have cemented her place in music history. Earlier this year, she played her final UK gigs, but her legacy continues to live on.
Our fourth star is best known for being part of one of the UK's greatest rock bands, with 18 consecutive top 40 singles. Only together for five years from 1977 to 1982, they made a huge impact on the music scene, influencing the Mod revival and inspiring Britpop. This year, the 66-year-old singer-songwriter made his acting debut in Steve McQueen's war drama Blitz and even changed his signature long, blond hair for the role.
Last but not least, we have a 70s rock star who is still performing around the world. As the lead singer of Heart, she achieved great success with the band, selling over 35 million records and topping charts with hits like Crazy On You and Barracuda. Fans continue to praise her as a true icon and the greatest voice in the history of rock.
