Helen Reddy 1974 Interview

In 1974, Helen Reddy was one of the biggest musical stars in the world. With hits such as Delta Dawn, Leave Me Alone (Ruby Red Dress), Angie Baby and her anthem I Am Woman, Reddy was dubbed the Queen of 70s Pop and went on to have further chart success as well as success in movies (Pete's Dragon, Airport '75), television (The Helen Reddy Show, The Midnight Special) and later theatre (Bloodbrothers). This interview is from the 1974 documentary Accomplished Women - which can be seen in its entirety (featuring interviews with other notable women of the 1970s) at archive.org.

...Airport 1975 (1974)

A classic in the disaster film genre, Airport '75 is unwittingly funny and wickedly campy. The actors are trying so hard to make the script work but it is really Karen Black, Gloria Swanson and Myrna Loy who come out smelling like a bouqet of roses. Helen Reddy sings a ridiculous song she wrote to Linda Blair, Charlton Heston does his hero shtick, and George Kennedy returns for the second of four Airport films but no one (and nothing) makes this turkey unwatchable.
