Farrah Fawcett. Hands down, the biggest sex symbol. She became a huge sensation when she starred in ‘Charlie’s Angels’ in 1976, the same year her iconic red swimsuit poster, which is still the best selling poster of all time, went on the market.
Trivia: Check out the first season of ‘The Partridge Family’ on DVD to see Farrah in a bit part…she’s the bait in one of Danny and Mr. Kincaid’s schemes!
Burt Reynolds. The definition of a macho man. His biggest movies during the Disco Years were ‘Hooper’, ‘Semi-Tough’ and ‘Smokey and the Bandit’. ‘Smokey’ was the first rated R movie I saw (rated R mostly ‘cause of all the cussin’)…believe it or not, my grandparents took me. Mom was not pleased!
Suzanne Somers. Suzanne Somers earned her sex symbol cred as Christmas (Chissy) Snow on ‘Three’s Company’. Her big break had come a few years earlier in ‘American Graffiti’.
David Bowie. Okay, okay…I don’t get it either, but here we are! His albums during the Disco Years included Low, Heroes, Prokofiev’s Peter and the Wolf, Stage (a live album), Lodger and Scary Monsters.
Jacqueline Bisset. Most teenage boys during the time still recall the advertisements of Jacqueline Bisset for ‘The Deep’. Remember the wet t-shirt? Yeah, I thought so . . .
Donna Summer. The queen of disco was definitely ‘hot stuff’ (song reference…get it?). Her albums during the Disco Years included A Love Trilogy, Four Seasons of Love, I Remember Yesterday, Once Upon a Time, Bad Girls (oh yeah, the biggie) and The Wanderer.
John Travolta. ‘Ole Vinnie Barbarino took it to the next level...and sealed his fate as a 70s icon…with a little movie called ‘Saturday Night Fever’.
Linda Carter. Wonder Woman. Need I say more?
