Famous actresses of the 1960's?

Faye Dunaway, Mia Farrow, Sally Field, Jane Fonda, Goldie Hawn, Diane Keaton, Sissy Spacek, and Meryl Streep are a few actresses that appeared in several movies of the 70s. Honorable mentions include Linda Blair who appeared in The Exorcist at age 12 and Jodie Foster who appeared in Taxi Driver with Robert De Niro at age 14. All of the actresses listed eventually went on to win Oscars for the Best Actress in a Leading Role category with the exceptions of Linda Blair and Mia Farrow. Blair was actually nominated for a Best Actress in a Supporting Role Oscar but the Academy members later determined that other uncredited cast members such as body doubles contributed to her outstanding performance in The Exorcist, for which she was nominated, so they did not award her the golden statue as a result. Other misfortunes that happened to Linda Blair as a result of The Exorcist include her suffering permanent back damage while on set and receiving numerous death threats from protestors after the movie premiered, which caused the studio to hire 24 hour police protection for six months. Mia Farrow on the other hand has been nominated for several Golden Globes, BAFTA, and other awards, that resulted in 4 wins total but she has never been nominated for an Oscar in any category.

What happend in the 1960's?

War broke out between communist North Vietnam and democratic South Vietnam in 1959. America and her allies, including Australia, sent thousands of troops to Vietnam in an effort to stop the spread of Communism. In total, around 50 000 Australians served in the conflict between 1965 and 1972. Many of them were conscripted, which means their military service was compulsory. Australians became divided over the issue of conscription and whether or not Australia should be involved in the war. Towards the end of the decade, thousands of people demonstrated against the government and some protests became violent. Robert Menzies served as Australia's Prime Minister throughout the 1960s, until his retirement in January 1966. He was replaced by Harold Holt, who faced the challenge of defending Australia's involvement in the Vietnam War. On 17 December 1967, Holt went swimming at Cheviot Beach in Victoria.

Were cars the only mean for transport in the 1960's?

The cars of the 1960s usually were long, had round headlights, and had bright colors such as yellow, red, blue, and even pink, unlike the bland similar colors of today's cars. 1960s cars didn't have onboard computers, and tended to sound a little louder than today's cars with silencer technology. Some 1960s cars had air conditioning, while others didn't. I'm pretty sure that all of them had radios in them at the time, but some only contained AM radios, while others could tune in to both AM and FM, which was relatively new at the time.
