The 70s was a time of free love, empowerment, and trippy music. There are lots of several famous women who were essential figures in this movement of love, and ultimately the rise of female empowerment. Many of these gorgeous role models were giants in cinema and music, and they’re unforgettable to this day. Here are the iconic babes of the 70s that are all over vintage posters, and where they are today.
1. Raquel Welch
Everyone remembers Raquel Welch from that fur bikini she wore in the 1966 flick One Million years B.C. Although she only had three lines (back then, women had way fewer speaking roles) she made the most of her scenes and turned herself into an American sex symbol that people remember to this day. But she’s more than good looks — Raquel wrote an autobiography called Raquel: Beyond The Cleavage so people would remember that. Today, she’s 80 and still fabulous.
Nicolas Cage, the once-iconic Hollywood star, enjoyed a staggering net worth of $150 million. However, his lavish lifestyle led to hefty debts and tax issues. From buying a deserted island to owning a pet octopus, Cage’s extravagant purchases left a dent in his fortune. Despite facing financial challenges, Cage remains passionate about his craft, valuing experiences over money.
