Goldie Hawn
When one says, "The 1970s," a few moments typically come to mind: President Nixon throwing up the victory sign after resignation, the anti-Vietnam War protests, the rise of disco (and bell bottoms and afros) and the pinnacle of rock 'n' roll. But out all of the decade's contributions to pop culture history, none are we more nostalgic for than its women. There's something about the women of the '70s that just can't be emulated today.
Be it their general carefree persona, their fondness for going bra-less or their favorable reception to mustachioed men. We can't pinpoint the precise reason why we're enamored with the babes of the past, but maybe it'll all make sense after you click through The 70 Hottest Women of the '70s. now?
Hawn was huge in the '70s. After her Academy Award win in '69, Hawn starred in some of the best comedies of the era but she also had enough star power to have two TV specials in her name, Pure Goldie and The Goldie Hawn Special.
Morgan Fairchild
She performed with comedy legends and the Harlem Globetrotters. Her special even won her an Emmy.
Don't buy the fancy name, Morgan Fairchild was born Patsy Ann McClenny in Dallas. And yet that is precisely what has made her so appealing during her whole career: the ability to be a high class dame and a sultry Texas blonde simultaneously.
Linda Ronstadt
She didn't achieve true stardom until the '80s, with iconic performances on dramatic series Flamingo Road (1980-82) and Falcon Crest (1985-86), but throughout the mid- and late '70s she was an in-demand TV babe, appearing on Kojak, Happy Days, Search for Tomorrow, Barnaby Jones, The Bob Newhart Show, and Dallas.
Linda Ronstadt in the '70s had a rare mojo that seems puzzling today. She came up in the L.A. folk-rock and country-rock scene—playing at the Troubadour, a club where stars like James Taylor, the Eagles, and the Byrds were regulars. Ronstadt started out as a country-rocker, then almost suddenly she was hailed as the Queen of Rock and First Lady of Rock by magazines and critics. She cultivated a sexy image with her mid-70s album covers: Hasten Down the Wind (1976) featured wind-hastened protruding nipples a la Carly Simon, and Simple Dreams (1977) had her lounging in a silk robe at her vanity.
Sally Field
But Living in the U.S.A. (1978) blew them all out of the water for flat-out sexiness: Ronstadt standing in a narrow hallway, wearing short-shorts, tube socks, a white t-shirt, a blue silky jacket, and accessorizing with a short perm hairdo and knee pads. This was an athletic seduction that foreshadowed all sorts of unfortunate '80s fashion and hairstyles. Ronstadt is considered by many to be the greatest female artist of the '70s, and the first arena-level female rock star.
The 70s were Sally’s time to shine. She won an Academy Award for her role in Norma Rae, one role after her first one in Smokey and the Bandit. The rest is history.
Pam Grier
Since her breakout role, Field has made a name for herself as a well-respected and acclaimed actress in both film and television. She has played roles in films such as Legally Blond 2, Lincoln and television roles in shows like ER and Brothers and Sisters.
Even before her coronation as the queen of blaxploitation, Grier was a grindhouse force to be reckoned with, having strutted her stuff in women-in-prison flicks The Big Doll House (1971), Women in Cages (1971), The Big Bird Cage (1972), and Black Mama, White Mama (1973). Meanwhile, blaxploitation was percolating, and Grier's menacing beauty and brick house figure proved just what the male-dominated genre needed. She lived by blaxploitation, and her career virtually died by it as well.
Linda Gray
After Drum (1976), she ceased being a headliner, and spent the '80s and '90s as a supporting actress until being reanimated by Quentin Tarantino for Jackie Brown. Tarantino has suggested she was the first female action hero, and though Angie Dickinson has a case, we're inclined to agree with QT.
After performing as Mrs. Robinson’a body double in “The Graduate,” Linda Gray thought it was her time to shine.
Kim Basinger
Grays breakthrough role came as the beautiful Sue Ellen in “Dallas.” She reprised her role of Sue Ellen in the “Dallas” remake from 2012 to 2014. However, she also appeared in various movies including “The Entertainers,” “Expecting Mary, and “Hidden Moon.” Most recently, in 2016, she appeared in the TV series “Hollyoaks,” as Tabby Maxwell-Brown.
First finding success in modeling, Kim made her acting debut on the TV series “Gemini Man.” Throughout the 70s, she landed various roles on TV movies and series including the remake of “From Here to Eternity.” Beginning in the 1980s she began to land roles in feature films. Her most prominent performance was as Lynn Bracken in “L.A.
Barbara Streisand
Confidential,” for which she won the Oscar Best Actress in a Supporting Role. She most recently appeared alongside Russell Crowe in 2016’s “The Nice Guys,” and she will appear in 2017’s “Fifty Shades Darker.”
Barbara Streisand, although still young in the 60s. This is the decade where her career really took off. After having a successful music career, in the 1960s, Streisand decided to make the transition to movies.
Billie Jean King
In 1968, she had her breakthrough role in “Funny Girl,” for which she won an Academy Award and Golden Globe Award for Best Actress. Barbara only continues to show off her talents to the world with platinum albums and amazing acting performances. She will soon combine both when she appears in the movie adaptation of “Gypsy,” which is set to begin filming in 2017.
King is best known for winning the “Battle of the Sexes” tennis match verse male tennis champion, Bobby Riggs, in 1973. In 1981, she became the first prominent female athlete to come out as gay. King continued to have success inside and out of the tennis world.
Ann-Margret
In 1987, she was inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame and in 2009 she received the Presidential Medal of Freedom. In 2014, she launched the Billie Jean King Leadership Initiative to address inclusion and diversity issues in the workplace.
After Bye, Bye, Birdie made her a major star, Ann-Margaret started headlining her own live TV specials, namely The Ann-Margaret Show in 1968. Throughout the 70s, the all-around entertainer would balance dramatic roles in movies with live musical performances.
Allison Arngrim
Namely, she followed up The Train Robbers with John Wayne with her Golden Globe-winning performance in the musical Tommy.
Alison Arngrin is most known for playing Nellie Oleson in “Little House on the Prairie,” from 1974-1982. Since her days as nasty little Nellie, she has continued to act in various TV movies and TV films as well as write.
Maureen McCormick
In 2010, she released “Confessions of A Prairie Bitch: How I Survived Nellie Oleson and Learned to Love Being Hated.” The book is a comedic memoir growing up as one of TV’s most memorable characters. Today she is also heavily involved in charity to raise awareness for aids as well as child abuse.
Marcia! Marcia! Marcia! Honestly, if we grew up in the 70s, we wouldn't have tired of saying that either.
Teri Garr
Maureen McCormick was essentially the decade's idea of the quintessential teen crush, thanks to her bubbly personality and Barbie-good-looks in The Brady Bunch. However, outside of the show, she was more famous for her personal life than for her other film and TV work. Throughout filming the sitcom that made her a catchphrase, McCormick had an off-screen romance with her on-screen brother, Barry Williams (Greg Brady).
Teri landed her first significant motion picture role in Francis Ford Coppola’s The Conversation, in 1974. However, her big break came when she landed the role as Igna in Young Frankenstein. Her fame continued to grow with roles in Close Encounters of the Third Kind and The Black Stallion.
Cicely Tyson
In 2002, Garr publicly announced she had been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. Soon after, she became a National Ambassador for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society and National Chair for the Society’s Women Against MS program.
Model turned actress, Cicely received her first Academy Award nomination in 1972, for her performance as Rebecca Morgan in Sounder. In 1974, she went on to win two Emmy Awards for The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pitman. She also appeared in other critically acclaimed television shows like Roots and King.
Charlene Tilton
Cicely continued her acting career in film, TV, and Broadway. She appeared in the Best Picture-nominated movie The Help and recently performed in the hit TV show How to Get Away with Murder.
Charlene Tilton is best known for her roles as Lucy Ewing on “Dallas.” She received the nickname poisonous dwarf due to her character’s wild personality at her short stature – Charlene was on 4’11”. After “Dallas,” Charlene began a pop career in the 1980s.
Paula Prentiss
She also posed topless for “Playboy.” However, more recently she spends her time doing foster work for foster children. She also currently credited with having a role in the film “Road Less Traveled,” that is currently in pre-production and set to be released in 2017.
Paula became known as a comedic actress in the 1960s with roles in Where the Boys are, The Honeymoon Machine and Bachelor in Paradise. However, she proved her acting diversity when she appeared as Bobbie Markowe in the cult horror film The Stepford Wives.
Loretta Swit
Except for small roles, Paula had not appeared in a movie for over 30 years, until 2016’s horror film I Am the Pretty Thing That Lives in this House.
Many will remember Loretta as Major Frank Burn’s love interest, Major Margaret “Hot Lips” Houlihan in the TV series M*A*S*H. She was 1 of only 4 cast members to stay for the duration of all 11 seasons of the show. She received two Emmy Awards for her performance.
Debbie Harry
Loretta last appeared on the silver screen in 1998. However, in 2015, she narrated the documentary Never the Same: The Prisoner of War Experience. The documentary is about prisoners of war who used ingenuity, creativity, and humor to survive.
Born Angela Tremble, the singer-songwriter is best known as the lead singer of the band “Blondie.” After Blondie’s debut album in 1976, their success skyrocketed. In June 1979, Blondie was featured on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine. In 2011, Harry Told Britain’s The Sun that Elton John was the one who inspired her to get involved in more charity work.
Jane Seymour
She has helped organizations like the Endometriosis Foundation of America and Amnesty International Human Rights. In 2014, the band released its tenth studio album, Ghosts of Download.
Born Joyce Penelope Wilhelmina Frankenberg, she took her stage name from one of Henry VIII's wives but seared herself into the memories of filmgoers as Solitaire in Live and Let Die. To this day, Solitaire remains one of the most popular Bond Girls of all time. When Roger Moore, then the "new" James Bond, tries his customary introduction, Solitaire backhands him with, "I know who you are, what you are, and why you've come.
Cheryl Ladd
You have made a mistake. You will not succeed." Seymour continued on through the '70s as a thinking man's sex symbol, appearing in one of those ridiculous stop-motion Sinbad movies and the 1978 series Battlestar Galactica.
Cheryl Ladd moved to Hollywood in hope of launching a singing career, although her most notable gig was the singing voice of Melody on the animated series Josie and the Pussycats. However, Ladd did gain superstar status, except it was for her acting gig as Kris Munroe in the popular TV series Charlie's Angels.
Diane Keaton
She used her newfound fame to resurrect her music career, getting the nod to sing the national anthem at Superbowl XIV.
Keaton is one of Woody Allen's most popular muses. She starred in a number of his films, most notably as Annie Hall, which established her as a true comedic actor, far from her breakout role in The Godfather in 72.
Faye Dunaway
Annie Hall's titular character was based on Keaton herself, including her self-deprecating humor, and the role earned her a Academy Award for Best Actress.
Stunningly beautiful in 1967's Bonnie and Clyde, Dunaway became a strange sort of sex symbol who wasn't sexy in the 1970s. This was partly because she took a lot of roles that required serious acting and not bikini hijinks. And perhaps another element was that in her two best movies, Chinatown (1974) and Network (1976), she played women who were, though desirable, a bit cold, to say the least. In Chinatown, it turns out her character has been raped by her father; in Network she's just an unfeeling bitch of a TV executive.
Olivia Newton-John
And in fact the titular character she played 1978's The Eyes of Laura Mars, a fashion photographer who visualizes the grisly handiwork of a serial killer, and Joan "Wire Coat Hangers" Crawford, whom she played in Mommie Dearest (1981), weren't all right in the head either. Maybe you like that kind of thing. Maybe you're not all right in the head.
Throughout the '70s, Olivia Newton John was a massive force on the pop, adult contemporary, and country charts—that last one much to the chagrin of many country artists, who disliked the idea of an Australian singer born in England competing with such pure country queens as Loretta Lynn and Dolly Parton. Yet compete she did, and in 1973 her country-pop stylings won her the Grammy for Best Female Country Vocal and the Academy of Country Music's Most Promising Female Vocalist award. In a way, though, she was just getting warmed up, because her most enduring achievement of the 70s was her co-starring role, opposite John Travolta, in the film version of Grease, which was the top performing film of 1978.
Sissy Spacek
Emboldened by her character's transformation in the final scene of the film, Newton John gave herself a makeover and went all sexy for her 1978 album Totally Hot. That album's success drove her to further objectify herself on the synth-heavy, double-platinum, chart-topping, did-people-really-listen-to-this release Physical. But that was 1980, and her cult hit film Xanadu beckoned.
Spacek began her career in the early 1970s. She received worldwide attention, in 1973, when she starred in Badlands. She continued to gain recognition when she landed the iconic title role of the 1976 horror film, Carrie.
Katharine Ross
She was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress for her portrayal of Carrie. In 2012, Spacek published a memoir, My Extraordinary Ordinary Life. Spacek became the first person to act in an Academy Award-nominated film in each of the 4 most recent decades: Coal Miner’s Daughter (1980), Missing (1982), JFK (1991), In the Bedroom (2001) and The Help (2011).
Katharine Ross came to fame after playing Mrs. Robinson’s daughter in “The Graduate,” in 1967. She landed roles, in the 70s, that fortified her legend in Hollywood.
Julie Andrews
She had the lead role of Joanna Ingalls Eberhart in “The Stepford Wives,” in 1975. She rounded out the 70s, with roles in movies such as “Voyage of the Damned,” “The Betsy,” and “The Swarm.” She still continues to act and is credited with roles, in 2 movies, that have yet to be released. She has also co-authored numerous children books.
Julie Andrews became a musical sensation, in the mid-1960s, from starring in the title role of Mary Poppins and, as Maria in “The Sound of Music.” However, her success continued into the 1970s, landing roles in “Darling Lili,” and “10.” Between 1973 and 1975, she headlined five variety specials on ABC.
Beverly Johnson
Andrews continues have a very strong career in TV and film, as well as, in voice acting for films like “Shrek” and “Despicable Me.” She is currently filming “Julie’s Greenroom,” an educational pre-school series set to premiere on Netflix in 2017.
In August 1974, Beverly Johnson was the first African-American model to appear on the cover of American Vogue. In 1975, she became the first African-American woman to appear on the cover of the French edition of Elle. She eventually made the jump from modeling to acting.
Karen Lynn Gorney
In 2014, Johnson wrote an article for Vanity Fair, which she accused Bill Cosby of drugging her in the 1980s. In 2015, she released her memoir, The Face That Changed It All, which also discusses the incident.
From 1970 to 1974, Gorney played Tara Martin on the soap opera All My Children. In 1977, she landed her biggest role to date, as Stephanie Mangano in Saturday Night Fever, alongside John Travolta. Although Gorney took an acting hiatus in the 1980s, she returned in the 1990s.
Lorraine Gary
She had roles in TV shows like Law & Order and The Sopranos. She most recently appeared in a short film titled Behind the Wall.

She continued on the silver screen and finished the decade strong with her performance as Joanna Kramer in the film “Kramer v Kramer.” She received both Golden Globe & Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for this performance.
Marilu Henner
Streep continues to have success in film. Streep has more nominations for an Academy Award than any other actor or actress. She is also heavily involved with charity work for women’s equal rights.

Jane Fonda
Beginning in 2015, she landed the reoccurring role of Lillian Kaushtupper in Netflix’s “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.”
Jane began the 70s strong with winning her first Academy Award for Best Actress, in 1971, for her performance as a prostitute in Klute. However, after this film, her work in the business declined until 1977. Through her production company, IPC Films, she produced the 1977 comedy film Fun With Dick and Jane, which is generally considered her “comeback” picture.

Dolly Parton started her career singing country tunes in the 1970s and four decades later, people still can’t get enough of her. Her music career has never faulted and her transition from country singer to film actress seemed effortless.
Olivia Newton-John
