Meryl Streep
(Dave Allocca/Starpix)
Her name alone speaks for itself. Streep moved to New York in 1975 following acting studies at Vassar and Yale, and the rest, they say, is history.
Vanity Fair commented that “it’s hard to imagine that there was a time before Meryl Streep was the greatest-living actress”.
Streep is well known for her ability to imitate a wide range of accents, from Danish in Out of Africa (1985) to English received pronunciation in The French Lieutenant’s Woman (1981), Plenty (1985), and The Iron Lady (2011); Italian in The Bridges of Madison County (1995); a Minnesota accent in A Prairie Home Companion (2006); Irish-American in Ironweed (1987); and a heavy Bronx accent in Doubt (2008). Streep has stated that she grew up listening to artists such as Barbra Streisand, The Beatles and Bob Dylan, and she learned a lot about how to use her voice, her “instrument,” by listening to Barbra Streisand’s albums.
Susan Sarandon

While Sarandon remains a respectable mainstay on the Hollywood scene to this day, many fans are quick to recognize her principally for her role in the cult classic Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975). Age has done little to quell her acting chops, and Sarandon remains one of Hollywood’s most prized actresses.
After a rich career in cinema, Sanderdon refused to slow down and has broker into TV as a star as well: She is a five-time Emmy Award nominee, including for her guest roles on the sitcoms Friends (2001) and Malcolm in the Middle (2002), and the TV films Bernard and Doris (2007) and You Don’t Know Jack (2010). In March 2017, Sarandon began portraying Bette Davis in the first season of FX’s Feud.

Welch became an international sex symbol following her short but highly memorable role in One Million Years B.C. (1966), which she used to her advantage for acting work and commercial partnerships from the 70s through the present day.
In 1995, Welch was chosen by Empire magazine as one of the “100 Sexiest Stars in Film History”. Playboy ranked Welch No. 3 on their “100 Sexiest Stars of the Twentieth Century” list. In 2011, Men’s Health ranked her No. 2 in its “Hottest Women of All Time” list.
Jodie Foster

Foster has been a powerhouse actress since her career-changing role as a teen prostitute in Martin Scorsese’s Taxi Driver (1977). She’s also an Oscar winner, a Yale graduate, and filmmaker in her own right.
Want to hear something crazy? During her freshman year at Yale, Foster was stalked by a man named John W. Hinckley, Jr., who had reportedly developed an fixation with her after watching Taxi Driver.
Hinckley relocated to New Haven and tried to get in touch with her both by telephone and written mail. On March 30, 1981, he attempted to assassinate U.S. President Ronald Reagan, wounding him and three other people, claiming that his motive was to impress Judie Foster.
After the incident, she had to be accompanied by bodyguards when on campus.

Cher

The “Goddess of Pop” is an ageless icon of song, screen, and stage, having earned her entertainment industry chops as one half of the “Sonny and Cher” pop duo as well as with her embodiment of female empowerment.
She is the only artist to date to have a number-one single on a Billboard chart in each decade from the 1960s all through the 2010s. Outside of her music and acting, she is noted for her political views, philanthropic endeavors and social activism, including LGBT rights and HIV/AIDS prevention.
Diane Keaton
(Michael Kovac)
Though she made her first major acting debut as a mob wife in The Godfather (1972), Keaton became much more widely known as a muse of and frequent collaborator with Woody Allen in iconic films including Love and Death (1975) and Annie Hall (1977), the latter of which earned her the Academy Award for Best Actress.
She is a successful writer, editor and photographer as well as a successful producer: In 2003, she produced the Gus Van Sant drama Elephant, about a school shooting.
If that wasn’t enough, she is also a serious art collector and even established herself as a real estate real estate developer: She has resold several mansions in Southern California after renovating and redesigning them.

Loretta Swit

As Major Margaret “Hot Lips” Houlihan in M*A*S*H, this New Jersey native of Polish extraction won the hearts of all who watched her on one of the most beloved shows not only of the 70s, but in the history of television.
In the 1980s, Swit supported efforts of R Adams Cowley, founder of the shock trauma unit at the University of Maryland, the first of its kind in the United States. Swit helped bring attention to his use of helicopters to transport injured civilians to shock trauma centers since 1969.
Jane Seymour

This British-American beauty saw her greatest fame in the 70s and 80s, with major appearances in the James Bond film, Live and Let Die (1973), Somewhere in Time (1980), and East of Eden (1981). Over the past ten years, she’s been working with Kay Jewelers for special edition “heart” collections.
One of Seymour’s notable features is that she was born with heterochromia, making her right eye brown and her left eye green.
A 2.08-carat cushion-cut fancy vivid blue diamond in an 18-karat rose-gold-plated platinum setting was named The Jane Seymour in her honor by World Of Diamonds Group, who had mined it in Russia, cut and set it. The ring was presented to Seymour in April 2016 in Singapore while she was there to star in The Vortex.

Ellen Burstyn

The 70s definitely treated Burstyn well: she earned two Oscar nominations for her work in The Last Picture Show (1971) and The Exorcist (1973), and proved that the third time’s a charm with her 1974 win for her starring role in Martin Scorsese’s Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore.
Her most intense performance for many will be noted as her perfect and crazy role as Sarah Goldfarb from Requiem for a Dream (2000), which slowly slips into depressing insanity.
Rene Russo
(Vogue | Mladen Antonov/Getty Images)
Though she didn’t start regularly landing film roles until the 90s, Russo became a familiar face in the 70s/80s pop culture imagination thanks to a modeling career that included cover appearances in the likes of major publications including Vogue and Cosmopolitan.
Interestingly, Russo never completed high school: She dropped out in the tenth grade. To help her family, she began taking a variety of part-time jobs including working in an eyeglass factory, and as a movie cashier.

Lynda Carter

Linda Gray

Gray earned her spot in entertainment history first as the body double of Mrs. Robinson in The Graduate (1967), later followed by her longstanding role as the sultry, adulterous Sue Ellen Ewing on the CBS series Dallas (1978-89).

Carol Kane

Kane’s popularity rose with her long-term role as Madame Morrible in Broadway’s Wicked, yet established herself as a film actress in the 70s with well received roles in Hester Street (1975), for which she received an Oscar nomination, and Annie Hall (1977).

McCormick was one of the most recognizable faces in 1970s television, thanks to her leading role as Marcia Brady on the classic family comedy series The Brady Bunch.

Nancy Kerrigan
If you’re too young to remember the early 90’s, ask a parent about Nancy Kerrigan. It’s a name everyone recognized, like OJ Simpson.
In 1994 arguably one of the dirtiest sports plays ever was aired on TV as figure skater Nancy Kerrigan stepped off the ice after a training session in the rink, only to be attacked by a mysterious stranger on her way to the locker room with a crack to the knee by a nightstick. The then 1992 Olympic Bronze medalist, and 1993 US National Champion quickly recovered though and went on to become 1994 figure skating Olympic Silver medalist. The orchestrator of the attack, Tonya Harding was shamed away from the sport, and her husband who hired the attack was sent to jail.

‘Soft Kitty’ is a real song that totally exists
You know the song ‘Soft Kitty’ that Sheldon sings in order to kinda-sorta feel better?

Producer Bill Prady mentioned hearing the song from his daugther who picked it up from her preschool teacher after she visited Australia.
Apparently, the show was given permission to use the song by someone who had no right to grant this permission, which dragged Disney, Warner Brothers & CBS into a whole copyright lawsuit mess which you can read more about here.

The pilot had a completely different cast and feel
The pilot was vastly different from how the show turned out. In fact, only Leonard and Sheldon were carried over to the newer version of the show that millions have come to love.
Actually, the show’s original title was Lenny, Penny and Kenny? That name is as terrible as the thought of our beloved heroes being named anything else at all.
It get’s weirder: The pilot episode didn’t have a Penny at all, but instead had a character named Katie played by Amanda Walsh (video below). Ultimately however, the producer’s found that Katie’s toughness wasn’t loved by audiences, and was replaced with Penny.
